I grew up with many pets (dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, and a bird), and I have always loved caring for animals. In the last couple of years, I have worked in the Williamsburg area providing pet-sitting, dog-walking, and in-home boarding care services. I am available to provide boarding care, overnight care, feeding, play & exercise, and/ or dog-walking any time weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I am athletic and would be happy to take your dog(s) for a walk, run, or swim (weather permitting). Safety is a top priority when caring for my client's pets, and many of the safety features that I have in my home for my children also act as safety features for pets (i.e. corner bumpers, edge bumpers, baby gates, plug protectors, etc.) My house also has a fenced-in backyard (6-ft tall fence) which can accommodate dogs big and small. I provide a dog bath for stays of a week or longer (or upon request from a pet owner). As part of Rover.com's "Sit a dog, save a life" program, I have pledged to donate 3% of my proceeds to The Humane Society of the United States.
