Kind and attentive pet care
Pet care experience
Growing up my dad had a lovely bonded whippet pair, I would walk them together every day as a kid, and I've loved dogs ever since. At my mother's house we had a beagle who showed up to our country house and adopted us, later I helped care for my mother's cocker spaniel and my sister's rescue walker hound who had developed epilepsy. I love animals of all kinds; I've had cats, dogs, an iguana, and aquatic fish and snails. As an adult I've had a few sweet orange tabbies and have adopted my own rescue greyhound, who I trained from scratch and really enjoyed taking out to parks to watch her run. I prefer to hang out with all my friends' pets whenever I get the chance, I'm definitely hanging out with the cat/dog at the party. They've always gravitated towards me, often even very shy pets will warm up to me faster than other strangers.
Reviews
Evangeline R. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Friendly, flexible, communicated well, did a great job with my two dogs who both go at very different speeds. Will definitely work with her again!
Evangeline was wonderful with my kitties! She played with their favorite toys and sent me lots of pics and updates. Will definitely hire her again.
Kronos(Bull Terrier), and I love Evangeline. She is always in mind when I need someone I can trust to take care of kronos when I need some support. Either afternoon or morning (whenever I'm working), I know kronos is in safe hands. She is good with supporting my boy and making sure he gets an accurate count for walking, playing, and simply training. I trust her with my buddy.

I'm happy to take your pet out in your neighborhood or take them to a nearby park/dog park as requested. I especially love long walks and playing fetch in parks! I worked over a decade as a clinical dental worker and I'm very detail oriented and great at following directions, so just tell me what you need and I'm happy to oblige. I am a very alert caretaker and will make sure your pet is safe and sound with me.
Information Evangeline R. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know your pet's energy level, amount of training, red flags, and favorite activities. Please tell me any detail you think is relevant to making your pet happy.
A typical day
I love visiting the parks around Richmond with pups for long walks. If possible I enjoy letting the dog off leash (if it is safe for them and in enclosed spaces) to run, chase thrown sticks or toys, roll around and receive belly rubs. Tug of war is a classic dog activity, as well as doing tricks for treats. At home we'll enjoy cuddles on the couch and ear scritches!

Availability
I am currently studying and changing careers, so I'm looking to pet sit for my main income. My schedule is very open and flexible and pet walking/drop ins are my main concern. I have my own reliable transportation and an a very conscientious driver and caretaker.
