COMPLETELY AVAILABLE JULY 4 WEEKEND

Pet care experience

I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, but now find myself in an apartment that doesn't allow dogs--and I need my fix! As a recent graduate from the Master of Social Work program at VCU, I am hoping to fill my newfound free time by lovingly caring for your dogs while I settle down and begin the job search. My schedule this summer will be very open and flexible. I truly love dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds--my experience in caring for dogs ranges from newborn puppies, to my family's own blind, deaf, and severely allergic senior dog that stays with my mother. Your dog(s) and I will enjoy fun days out on the town, the river, and in local parks, and will receive loads of love, exercise, and attention!

Michael has been one of my best friends for 20+ years. I watched him grow up with dogs, bunnies, hamsters, and many cats in his house. Michael's passion for animals has always been obvious- it was rare for me to visit him and find him without a cat in his lap! As an adolescent and young adult he has helped take care of his family's animals and now, together with his roommate, Michael fosters cats through the SPCA. Outside of his passion for animals, Michael is an incredibly responsible and caring person. He recently graduated with a Master of Social Work degree, a path that is suited for him given his compassionate nature. Michael would be a great person to assist you in caring for your animals with daily dog walks or house sitting :)

Michael is one of the best guys I know, smart, trustworthy, and a great friend. He loves dogs, esp pit bulls and bull dogs!! As his roommate, he and I always get along, couldn't have asked for better! Hire him!

Information Michael D. would like to know about your pet

Although it would be ideal (for both of us) to meet your dog beforehand, I understand this may not always be possible! Some dogs can be a little weird around men, but they just need treats and exposure. I myself love all breeds of dogs and can usually win them over.

A typical day

As an avid park-goer, your pup and I will not only walk through your neighborhood, but will also explore all of the parks and dog-friendly outdoor opportunities our city offers!
