Pet care experience

Professional, reliable animal lover

I'm a violinist in the Charleston Symphony Orchestra and a violin teacher at Ashley River Creative Arts Elementary. I have a BM, and MM from Cleveland Institute of Music. I also love all kinds of dogs. I've had lots of experience house sitting and dog sitting. I had a dog while growing up. He was a toy poodle and his name was Claude. I know your dog or cat is like your own child, so I will make sure to take care of him/her with lots of affection and attention. I particularly enjoy playing with dogs. Some of my favorite activities to do with dogs include throwing a ball and frisbee if the dogs do that. I've taken care of other pets as well. Some of these include a cat, fish and bird. I will take care of most kinds of dogs. However, I will not take any kind of aggressive dogs. This includes pit bull, German Shepard, Akita and Chow Chow. Thank you for considering me. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your dog! I can easily take care of your pet even if I have work. My schedule allows me to leave throughout the day if I need to. I don't have any work on the weekend or holidays, so I usually just stay at the owner's home during that time. I don't usually care for pets in my apartment. I'm nervous the carpet could get dirty... When I am at the owner's home, I always play, pet, take them potty, for walks, etc. The owner often will write a very detailed list of instructions for me which I like and will follow them.

Graham keeps us up to date when he stays with our two dogs. Extremely trustworthy, and the dogs love when he stays here while we are away.

Graham has stayed at our home with our dogs multiple times. Our dogs love him and we always find everything in perfect order when we come home. We very much appreciate his great work for us.

Graham was amazing! We were a bit nervous because this was our first experience with Rover and someone other than a family member keeping our pets but it was a great experience! Graham stayed at our home for four nights with our two dogs. He sent regular updates with photos, spent quality time with them and the house was immaculate when we returned home! He even brought our mail in! I highly recommend Graham! We will definitely be using him in the future!🐾❤️

Schedule

I work part time and my schedule is flexible. For example, on the weekends, I am able to stay at the home for a long time. For during the week, that depends on the day, but I am able to stay at home most of the time.

I don't have any breed preferences. I will ask questions such as the following. 1) When and how much does the dog eat? 2) How often does he/she go potty?
