I'll be your dog's Fun Aunt!
Pet care experience
Hello there! My name is Molly, I am a theatre artist working in the Bay, I love all animals, and have lived with/cared for pets my entire life. I worked at Throw Me A Bone and Ruby and Jack's Doggy Shack, two NYC doggy day cares in Manhattan, for a culmination of 5 years. I’ve also periodically fostered dogs and cats in my home, have cared for my own pets since I can remember, and worked at the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary in Folsom, CA for a little more than 5 years. Both my parents are zoo keepers, so it's safe to say that animal care runs in the family! I live with one dog named Barry and two Cats, Linus & Chickpea. They get along with everybody, so I'm sure they'll get along with your pet too! I would love nothing more than to walk, watch, play with and love your furry loved one!
Reviews
Molly is one of the greatest animal lovers I know, with years of experience working at a zoo, as well as being a caring pet owner herself. She genuinely loves dogs and they seem drawn to her too. She is sure to love and take care of your dog as if it were her own. Molly is responsible, dedicated to doing any job well, and extremely warm, and is sure to quickly become beloved by your dog.
Molly loves animals more than anyone I have ever met. Whenever we are together she makes a point of saying hello to every dog we pass on a walk, cat in a bodega, and bird in a store window. She herself is the proud caretaker of several animals– Luna (cat), Martha (cat), Mike Wazowski (one eyed cat) and Edna (a sassy beagle chihuahua mix). On several occasions she has taken care of my two cats while I am out of town, it always brings me such comfort to know that they are with someone so caring and excited to be with them. Molly has also been a dog walker with the NY based company Ruby & Jacks. On a regular basis she would tell me her adventures with dogs not her own, but whom she loved as if they were. Caring for animals is second nature to Molly and I guarantee both you and your pet will be more than satisfied!
Molly is one of the most well rounded animal lovers I know. Her work doesn’t begin and end with dogs, she has had a lifetime of experience with practically every animal, as one would being in zoos her whole childhood and having parents that are zookeepers. She has a big heart, and animals pick up on it right away. She’s the only person I know that will walk down the street and dogs will come right up to her and act like they’ve known her for years. She’s also the only person I know that won’t let a dog pass on the street without first acknowledging it, and saying how cute it is to either her friend walking next to her, or the dog’s owner. She is responsible, dedicated, and most of all loving. She is protective of every dog, and will take care of each one as it is her own.
Molly is an amazing person and the coolest most responsible cat mom I know. Together we are raising a sweet and feisty one year old Calico cat named Luna. Molly treats Luna like she birthed her herself and Luna is always ecstatic to see Molly after a long day. I am so pleased to know that when I am out of town that our cat Luna is well taken care of and gets to spend some one-on-one girl time with Molly. Molly has a dog named Edna at home in Folsom, California and though I have yet to meet Edna from the photos that I have seen of her she clearly adores Molly and is well taken care of. Molly is punctual, clean, and pays close attention to detail. I trust Molly with my life so you should feel more than comfortable having Molly care for your pets.

Whatever your preference and expectation is, I can meet it! In my home, we take frequent walks and sunbathe in my tiny backyard when the weather allows! There’s lots of snuggle time on the couch too! Lots of downtime. And lots of play! I try to meet the moment to moment needs of the animal I'm with.

Information Molly V. would like to know about your pet
I will love your dog no matter what! The only thing I want to be sure of is that your dog feels safe and comfortable with me.
A typical day
We can go to the nearest park, dog park, along the bay or whatever street we can find that isn't too busy and is just right for a safe and fun walk. If your dog loves to play with a ball or any other type of toy, I'd be more than happy to incorporate that into our walk as well!

I work two jobs, both of which are mostly remote with occasional exceptions. I am often out walking or jogging with my dog Barry in my spare time, and would love to pick up your dog along my route! or make an additional stop to spend quality time with your pet. Since I work from home, I have a lot of time on my hands to look over your dog! Day care will be a great way to make that happen, as long as your dog likes to play and hang with my puppy!
