I work from home, so pet care fits into my schedule super easily. I can take dogs out for potty breaks and walks as needed.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment, so my living situation better aligns with smaller dog breeds. But park proximity still allows for walks and outside time.

Information Michaela Z. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I want to make your fur baby as happy and comfortable as possible.
A typical day
I love to keep your dogs entertained physically and mentally. We can play with toys, fetch and tug of war, and we can go on walks at one of the nearby parks. I also offer plenty of snuggle time if your dog likes affection. :)

Pet care experience
I love absolutely love dogs! I work from home as a Generative AI associate so my schedule is very flexible and ideal for taking care of your dog when you're busy or away. I'm available mornings, afternoons, or evenings, basically whenever you need. And my apartment is located in Shockhoe Bottom near two parks, ideal for walks. I grew up with Lhasa Apso pups (Cassie and Teddy) and have been dog-sitting and dog-walking for about 5 years. I've taken care of a variety of breeds, ranging from a Chinese crested to a boxer-pitbull mix. I'm a very compassionate, gentle, and patient person. I love spending time with dogs and look forward to meeting yours! :)
