A bit of an animal welfare advocate

Pet care experience

I was raised with wolves (literally)! Having been raised in an exotic rescue family, I've shared my home with timber wolves, skunks, boars, chimps, and ferrets in addition to domesticated pets. I continue the family legacy as an animal welfare and rescue worker. I volunteer and foster with Animal Connections and the HOWS Project, where I specialize in feral and special needs dogs. I have established pet sitting clients and gained additional pet care knowledge working in/with veterinary offices. During the week, I work from home as a catering coordinator and I share my home with the sweetest, 6 yo, Australian Shepherd (Dahlia) and two, dog savvy, cats (Gulliver & Poppy). They are all, of course, rescues. I've recently purchased a home in the Twin Lakes subdivision of Ruckersville, and though I've not yet installed a fence, I have a nice yard for short potty breaks,and take my own dog for a walk at least 3 times daily. I am confident in handling all sizes and breeds of dog on lead. My home is properly equipped to separate or crate pets if requested but I otherwise allow pets to roam free in my home. Yeah, I'm 'that guy' who fills your feed with animal pictures, lost pet posts, and adoption posts. I hope to have an opportunity to add your baby to my group of furry pals!

I have been using Faith for weekly dog walking services for over 6 months now. She has been wonderful! I highly recommend her. She is more than a dog walker, she has a vested interest in the health and wellbeing of your fur family.

Faith took excellent care of our cats (and hermit crabs!) for over a week while we were away. She was very reliable and clearly loves animals. She texted me updates daily along with pictures of my cats, which I appreciated. I felt like my pets were very happy and well cared for when I returned. I would absolutely use Faith as a sitter again in the future.

I've known Faith for close to 10 years, she has watched my dogs (3 different dachshunds), many times over the years. Two of my dogs had fairly severe cushings disease & required medication & special care as the got older. Other than her thumb getting between an extremely food motivated dachshund and a treat, everything always went as planned. In the last 2 years or so she has successfully fostered 4 different dogs from rescue to adoption, one specifically that started with a very strong fear of people & noise. And over this entire time she has always had her border collie Kiel who is a chill fellow & gets along easily with other dogs large & small. I trust Faith with my dogs & you can too.

I cannot say enough good things about Faith. She truly has a special gift with animals. She is a skilled caregiver, loving, trustworthy, and and quite intuitive. It doesn’t take long to figure that out when you see her with her own pets or any of the distressed animals she volunteers to assist. Faith house/dog sat for me for a full week when I had a sick fur-baby. I was devastated to have to leave my ill pup but could not get out of required travel. I had planned for my pet to stay with family while away but called on Faith quickly after a visit to the vet. She administered medicine and watched over my girl as requested, even checking in with the vet for monitoring. But the love and comfort she gave in my absence is something I will never be able to repay. She is the only one I would trust in a scenario like that. It is such a blessing to find someone I Know will watch over my pets in the same loving manner that I do!
