I've had dogs and cats all my life and have had the natural affinity with them. I'm the person that goes to people houses and they say, "OMG! My pet is never this friendly with strangers they've never met." Maybe it's the fact that I have a gentle soul, or that I'm a very calm person. I used to work as a manager/dog groomer/dog walker/pet sitter/pet boarder/dog trainer for a business out in northern Virginia. I love animals and they love me. I have a car and can take trips to the park with your animals and am very situationally aware at all times to ensure that your pet is safe and happy at all times. The animals always come first. I also adhere to any special treatments your pet needs. This includes medications, awareness to past injuries, dietary needs, and love and affection preferences. I'm here for your pet. I can't board animals at my apartment ATM because my wife and I have a very old and jealous cat, but I am more than able to do overnight stays at your house if need be. Currently I work as a freelance Audio Video technician so I have a very open schedule of sitting around doing nothing. If I do end up having to work during a scheduled visit, I will let you know days in advance, but when I do work, I can take a lunch break to still fullfil the pets needs until I'm off the job. As we all know, every pet is different. Which means every pet requires different levels of care and attention. Some animals love cuddles and need them every day. Others hate being held but love having someone to sit next to or to be in the same room with them. Just let me know your pets wants and needs. If your animal needs medicine, special dietary needs, special handling or care, I'll be able to fullfil anything necessary. I always have my phone with me so we can always communicate if need be. I've been through the ringer of dealing with animal issues and drama as well as the lives of the owners. So when it comes to anything, I'm extremely adaptable. This way you can rest assured that I'll be able to handle anything that happens to your pet while under my supervision.
