Are you going out of town? Awesome! But who will take care of your beloved pet/s? Well, that's simple. Me! It can be stressful for pets when their favorite humans must travel, but it does not have to be. I would love to take care of your pet(s) with scheduled feedings, walks, play-time and lots of TLC during overnight petsitting/housesitting reservations as well as check-ins and now dogwalking! I am a professional dog-walker and petsitter(cats and all others welcome, too!) and love dogs of all sizes! I have experience working with both tiny and extra large dogs and understand the special needs of both. I love animals and am very active in the rescue community in Northern Virginia (LDAR foster). Our 15th Foster just found her fur-ever home <3 I also have Pet CPR and First aid training. Let your dog stay in their favorite place, home! Areas served: Burke, Springfield, Fairfax, Fairfax Station, Alexandria, Shirlington, Arlington, Lorton, Clifton, McLean, Woodbridge, Kingstowne, (somewhere else?) ...I'll come to you:o) Why I love dog sitting... I have been an animal lover my entire life. I have never lived in a home without fur- family members - and can not imagine it any other way. I take great pride in knowing I am providing the pets within my care exceptional treatment and easing their anxiety, while their favorite people are away. I have very high standards and know what I as a pet-parent would want and enjoy providing this service to others. My Pack... Our current Pack includes a 13 year old rescue Maine Coon named Miko, a 12 year old Pomeranian named Cody, a 2 year old LDAR rescue GSP/Italian Greyhound named Grace and two, three year old Lucky Cat siblings, Abbie and Frankie. Further Animal Experience... As a child, I was a competing equestrian. I studied animal biology and behavior extensively in my Pre- Med undergraduate studies. My studies also led me to became scuba certified to prepare for an expedition in the Bahamas. This time was spent studying coral reefs and sea creatures in the ocean(I love sea creatures, too!) . I love all animals and they've played an integral role in my life. Meds? NO problem! I am experienced administering medications to dogs. I can give oral or topical medications. I also have experience administering insulin to dogs.
