Pet care experience

Update to my profile- we recently moved from San Diego to VA and i am continuing to watch dogs. We no longer live in SD so there will be new pictures of our house. I have grown up with many pets and have experience caring for them. My father used to train dogs for competitions and I used to go with him to the farm and play with the dogs. We even got lucky and adopted one. His name was minking (he was a field spaniel). He was our family dog. After I got married we moved and were not allowed to have dogs in the rental property so we adopted a cat and we named him stinky! He was our 1st baby. 7yrs ago we moved to San Diego and our stinky came with us. Unfortunately we hired our neighbor to watch our cat for a weekend and when we returned she gave us the bad news that she couldn't find our cat. It was devastating. Years passed and I've had kids and decided to wait to get our own pet. At the moment we can't but we hope so in our future. In the meantime I would love to take care of your pet. Also, we have nice yard in the back of our house and front. Dogs love it.

Geraldine and her family were very supportive of and patient with our anxious fur-baby. They were concerned and communicative. Thanks for taking such good care of our little guy!

Geraldine and family were the best. They made Oreo feel like home and we didn’t have to worry about how he is doing.

Once again, Geraldine and her boys did an awesome job taking care of our dog Lindsey. Lindsey is very comfortable in her home because her family treats Lindsey like she is part of their family. Thank you!

Geraldine is a great sitter. Omar gets so excited to see her and her family and it made me so happy that he was having fun while away at a conference. He stays entertained and gets lots of activity. Geraldine is also a gracious care giver as she understands Omar’s quirks and was very kind in letting me know how he did without dismissing him. She clearly understands dogs! We are very grateful and look forward to working with her again!
