Pet care experience

Flexible & trustworthy sitter!

I have been a pet owner for years with experience in sitting my family member's, friend's and neighbor's pets. I have also volunteered several times at animal hospitals and shelters. I am what you would call an “animal lover.” With that being said, your pet will be treated as if it is my own while in my possession. I will make sure that your dog is walked as much as he/she needs to be, fed on time, and also stays clean. I work very well with pets.. I treat them as if they are my own because I want to make sure that they feel safe and at home even when they are away from their home. I enjoy going on walks and runs with them, playing with them, going to the dog park, participating in different activities and etc. I believe dogs are to be treated with love and respect just as humans!

Candita was so sweet, and my puppy Alley has a great time. Alley was sad to go when it was time to come back home. I will use her again.

A typical day

I like to walk them in my neighborhood but it is always much more fun when we go on outings so first I check in with the owners to see if it is okay for me to take them on walks or to other places that are outside of my neighborhood. If they are fine with the idea & places , then I normally take them to nearby trails such as Fountain Head, Occoquan Park & a couple of others. Nearby dog parks are also one of the places that I love taking he/she too. There is also many more activities that I like to do with them such as playing fetch, tug aware & etc.

I do not have any breed preference. I will sit any kind of breed. I typically like to know what kind of breed he or she is, what they do & don't like, and care instructions!
