Loving care when you’re not there!

Pet care experience

Important things to know: -All dogs must be up to date on vaccines for the safety of your baby, and everyone else's. -Your dog may be accompanied by other furry friends during their stay, so if your baby is not use to being around other pups, it may be in their best interest to have their care elsewhere (please see * below). However if your pup loves to be around other dogs, they will have a great time! (There is no guarantee that there will or will not be any other dogs during your requested stay.) *if your baby does not get along with other dogs, and you prefer to have their stay alone in my care, I will charge time and a half since I will not be able to accept any other dogs during their stay* I am a psychology major at the University of Mary Washington who loves animals. I am a former vet tech of 3 years who just moved into the area due to my husband being in the military. I was an shift lead intern at a wildlife sanctuary in North Carolina where I cared for sick and injured possums, birds, hawks, rabbits, owls, ducks, and many others. Other than professional experience, I have owned dogs and cats all of my life. I do require that your pet is crate trained because I do not keep dogs out unsupervised, and truly want what is safest for your pet. Your pet would only be in a crate while nobody is home or while we are sleeping. I have one spare medium sized crate available, so please ask me if this is available before packing yours up! I would love the honor of caring for your furbaby! January-April Schedule for drop off/pickup: Monday 6am-9am, 6pm-9pm Wednesday & Friday: 6am-9am, 7:30pm-9:30pm Tuesday & Thursday: 6am-11:30am, 3pm-4pm, 8pm-9:30pm. Saturday & Sunday: As discussed between us. *when picking up and dropping off, please do not park directly in front of my neighbors homes, they would greatly appreciate it!*

Overall it went well. I was out of the country and felt good about leaving my cat in Heather’s hands. She played with him every day and cuddled with him. The one thing I did notice was that Maui had a lot more scabs on his head than when I left and Heather never mentioned it. Maui seems to have really liked Heather from the pictures I got every day and would feel comfortable leaving him in her care again.
