Exemplary Pet Sitter!
Pet care experience
My guiding principle is that your pets are members of your family. I first experienced this bond caring for our family's cats and dogs. My first dog, Tweek, was happiest running away. He always came home, is over 15 now and still lives with the family who adopted him when I moved to an apartment that didn't allow pets. Tovah is my current Terrier-Spitz bundle of joy. We rescued her 10 years ago and she has blessed me, my daughter and my extended family with so much joy since then! Now that you have met my furry friends, I would love to meet and care for yours! If you contact me, I will come to introduce myself to you and your pet(s). If I walk your dog(s), I will meet your expectations about length and location. I'll also be glad to transport your pets, as you request. If you need to travel, I recognize that some pets do not board well and could not be left alone in your home overnight. In that case, I will stay at your home to care for your pet(s) and handle other chores.

Information Matthew D. would like to know about your pet
I typically meet the owner and dog in-person to get an idea for how he/she interacts with her environment, e.g. immediate family, other pets in the home, etc. I have no breed preferences at this point, but am most experienced with small and medium-bred dogs.
A typical day
When the weather is nice, I enjoy hiking the trails surrounding the Rappahannock and also in Stafford and Spotsylvania. Fresh air is great! Once I get to know your pet, and mutual trust is established, there are a few nearby fenced-in areas to run around and play fetch.
