Worked at an Animal Shelter in VA

Pet care experience

I have lived with dogs and cats since the day I was born and one of my first and most memorable jobs was as an Animal Care Technician at Heritage Humane Society in Williamsburg, VA. I worked with animals from all walks of life but had a certain affinity working with dogs and animals with anxiety and reactivity, namely helping them to become comfortable with human engagement. I spent a year and half pet sitting a rescue pit bull in New York City and thrived off of the challenges and rewards she provided me. I am a very active person and love to go on walks, especially with a furry companion. I work teaching flying trapeze so my hours vary from day to day and allow me to have time when others likely would not.

I’m happy that Ailsa was able to take care of my cat while I was away. She kept me updated about how he was doing and got him to play with her, which was good to see.

I ended up having to cancel my trip. Ailsa came over to meet Sasha and I was very pleased with her. I hope to use your service in the future, Please pay Ailsa for her troubles.

Ailsa was FANTASTIC with our two dogs. Her experience from working with different dogs at shelters was a huge plus and trustworthiness can't be emphasized enough. We have two shelter Pits and she was an excellent pack leader (: Although it's always tough to leave our dogs with someone new, after our initial meet-up we knew our dogs would be in great hands. Awesome!

I am incredibly respectful of my clients' homes and make sure to leave them just as I found them. I find animals are more comfortable in their own space so I value meeting them where they live.

Information Ailsa F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any extra physical or support needs. I am trained in working with special needs animals and value earning the trust of a skittish or reactive pet.

A typical day

I love going on long walks through whatever the closest park is. I walk at a brisk pace and try to keep pets entertained while we adventure. If a dog seems under-stimulated on a walk, I will bring along a toy and/or some training treats to keep them engaged,
