Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Connor and I have been around with animals my entire life. My love for animals, and first pet, was the most adorable Lab Hound mix puppy. She recently passed away from old age but I now have the most loveable six year old Pit Bull Terrier. In high school, my experience with animals included volunteering with the Animal Welfare League of Arlington as a dog and cat foster parent. I fostered animals in need of homes and administered medication, if applicable. In high school, I had the opportunity to work more hands-on and breed some of my animals (leopard geckos, fish, scorpions, and mice). During college, I worked with children and had the opportunity to be a director of a summer camp. I am currently a volunteer at Richmond Animal Care and Control helping out in any way I can. I also have experience with multiple dog/cat breeds, ranging from small pugs to beefy Labrador Retrievers. Ever since I was a young child, I have owned multiple species and types of animals. From slippery fish, swimming turtles, scaly reptiles, slimy amphibians, dangerous scorpions, creepy tarantulas, loveable cats, cute guinea pigs, adorable bunnies, and intelligent rats. I currently still care for many of the animals I had as a child after I moved down to Richmond. I have over forty animals, and my collection is only growing. Working with children and being a director has taught me patience and how to adapt to any situation or behavior. Owning multiple kinds and species of cold-blooded and warm-blooded animals has allowed me to be diverse in pet care. I believe my skills and experience are an excellent match with what you are looking for. I am passionate about providing the utmost experience for your pet(s) and making sure you are able to relax while you know your pet(s) is in good hands. I understand and have the ability to adapt to any type of an animal’s needs and I look forward to helping out in any way I can. YARD: I do not have a yard for your pups to run and play in, but I live right next to the canal in downtown Richmond. Your pup will love the beautiful canal trail and the breeze through their fur. PRICES: All my service fees are a set price, but my additional rate prices are open to negotiation depending on the situation/scenario. I am flexible and can be accommodating as needed.

connor did an absolute wonderful job with my pups. i went out of town and hired connor to help out with an evening walk between the pet sitter leaving and a friend coming over to hang out with the pups before bed. i put a lot of effort and time into my three pups - their training, well-being, etc. they are three high energy and high velcro aussies. connor followed my instructions perfectly, was in constant communication with me, was quick with replying to me, and sent very detailed rover cards. his effort and consistency helped my pups trust and bond with him. i hope to use his services again soon!

I live in a great, dog-friendly neighborhood filled with lots of open and enclosed parks. My backyard is also a great energy drainer and play area for all breeds and sizes of dogs.
