I’m part backyard cuz dogs dig me

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Piper and I am 23 years old. I took a little break from Rover but I’m back :D. I grew up with pets my whole life and used to train as a vet tech. I have worked as a sitter, to a volunteer at the SPCA and No More Chasin’ Tails, and observed for school at Newport News Animal Hospital and Colony Animal Hospital. I have also worked at Petsmart, Petco, and Petsuites. 🐶🐱🐹🦎🐍🐠 Need someone to spoil your fur babies? No problem! I have all the extra belly rubs and head pats. Sometimes it takes time to build relationships with dogs and thats no problem for me. Some may seem big and scary but all are just fur babies to me. Waggy tails and derpy drooly smiles are the best sight for me to witness. Doesn’t matter the breed or size, I love all dogo’s. Of course, I also care for cats as well. I have three of my own at home 🐱🐱🐱💕. Notice for dogs going through their monthly cycle: - For any female dog that is unspayed that is going through their monthly cycle during my time walking or sitting them, I require that I need an assistant just incase of any mood swings. You will (not) have to pay extra for an additional person. Additionally, I can do other animals as well. (Ex: Small Animals- Ferrets, Hamsters, Mice, Rats / Reptiles - Lizards, Snakes, Frogs / Farm Animals). Just let me know if you have animals thats not listed as a dog or cat and we can figure something out. Notice for other animals: - If you have an animal that eats live animals like a snake, I only will feed frozen. - If you have a relatively large snake that requires one on one attention, I may have an extra person assist me. I am a snake lover, however, this is just for protection assistance in case the snake gets spooked and constricts around me. You will (not) have to pay extra for an additional person.

Piper was great with my two cats. I came home to two happy boys.

Piper is the best! Super reliable, excellent at communication, and our pup loves her!! My Aussie is high energy + sensitive, but he loves playing with Piper and she is super attentive, loving, and careful with him. Can’t recommend Piper enough!!

Information Piper T. would like to know about your pet

- Are they afraid of car rides for going to parks? - Breathing or hip problems? - Do they get exhausted easily when walking or jogging. - Do they get car sick? - Any allergies? - Are they able to consume treats? - Are they okay out in the sun? - How are they around people, other dogs, or any animals in general?

A typical day

Parks are what I noticed dogs enjoy the most but neighborhoods are cool too! Balls and frisbees are fun and easy exercise. Sometimes, if I know the client good enough and have been with them for a long time, I will take them out to special places like Petsmart for a special treat or to Starbucks for a Puppuccino ??.

Other than those who are already scheduled with me, I am pretty open. I am currently on Winter Break for school and I don’t start the semester until the 8th of January. However, I can still work around my classes to still pet sit.
