I've been a pet caregiver since 2007. I feel like I've genuinely loved all my pets equally, from my guinea pigs to my dogs! I'm currently living with my wife (who is also on Rover!) and our Labrador/Cocker Spaniel mix, Bella! We adopted her at 8 weeks and she's nearly 2 years old, now. She's been a very fulfilling experience in our lives and I hope that translates to my services with your pets. I have a pretty flexible schedule. I teach numerous Nutritional Science courses in several universities in Northern Virginia. When I'm not grading assignments or tooling my lectures, I figured I could be best suited doing what I love equally, which is caring for animals! Because my schedule changes per semester, I find myself with a lot of extra time right now. I would like to help others maintain their life schedules by providing the services that I am offering. Walking dogs and enjoying fresh air (rain, cold, sunny, anything!), is refreshing to me. I maintain a good work ethic and seek to provide your pets with wonderful exercise! My schedule also allows me to drop-in on your pets and ensure everything is okay. Whether they need to be released for a bathroom break, fed, or simply just need love, I'm happy to help! For a few minutes or overnight, I seek to provide my clients with security and confidence that their pets will be handled correctly.
