Furry Friend Fanatic!

Pet care experience

I had pets of all kinds growing up and fell in love with animals at a young age. I spent 3 years working for an animal hospital where I gained all kinds of experience and cared for the animals in a special way. I also have spent several years pet sitting for friends and family and love any opportunity I have to spend time with furry friends:) I recently graduated from college and taking a rest period before I get into the career world:) I am very flexible in my schedule and can work with you to meet your pet's needs! I live just past Old Town and know several good dog parks and walking trails in the area:) I will make sure that I have clear instructions from you the owner for how to care for you furry friend inside or outside your home. Rover is currently my full time job!! And I am so happy doing it:) I am flexible in schedule for the most part but do get booked up several months in advance! Please reach out if you’re interested and I would love to help out with your fur baby😊 I am very adaptable in regards to your pet and your comfort level!! I know a lot of good dog dog parks in the DMV area thanks to Rover and also good walking trails/sidewalks. I always make sure (whether inside or outside their home) that your pet is comfortable, happy, and enjoying life!! In regards to kitty cats, please let me know what they enjoy!! Happy to play or sit and watch cat videos with them :) My hubby is also a big part of my life and LOVES all the fur babies:) So he sometimes tags alone! Just let me know if you are not ever comfortable with him coming to stay with a sit or hang out during a drop in:) Belly rubs and kitty purrs is currently my full time job!! I am happy to work with your pet’s schedule however I can. I do get booked up pretty quickly so a pretty far in advance inquiry is totally fine with me:) I service the Alexandria and Arlington area primarily and unfortunately do not take inquiries in DC. I am very dedicated and your pet’s safety is my first priority! Any notes or info you feel would be helpful please let me know. I primarily do in home sitting so this includes (when it comes to doggos) your pups favorite place to walk, home details, parking details…etc. any and everything is appreciated:) Second priority is that your baby (or babies!) have fun and enjoy me staying with them:)

A typical day

I love to have fun and engage a dog's energy through activities! I am a very active individual, so I would love to spend time playing fetch with your dog, going on walks/runs, and going to different parks to socialize with other dogs. In terms of kitty cats….I am definitely a cat/dog person!! I had mama cats growing up in the country who had kittens every year so they’ve always been a part of my life:) I’ve learned kitty behavior, their likes and dislikes, and that cats are definitely human form of animals (such personality!) Happy to learn your cat and to learn their personality and routine
