I am a student at VCU. I have lived with a middle-aged German Sheppard for 3 years and a number of dogs throughout the last four years and have become comfortable around many different breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. I have bathed, walked, played, and fed dogs for more than 9 years and have provided dog sits as long as a month on separate occasions. I am a friendly guy and I absolutely adore the innocence and happiness dogs bring to our world. Dogs reflect our inner selves and they only react to what we put out into the world, they are my therapy and I do my best to be their best friend. I believe that dogs can sense the good and the bad in people and dogs seem to like me, even when their owners consider them unfriendly. To me, there is no such thing as a bad dog. My friends and family have given me the nickname "Dog Whisperer," due to my ability to control and gain confidence from dogs of all types of personalities. I have taken all the precautions necessary with the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, I live alone and do not work because I am studying to earn my Bachelors, which also means I only have time to focus on school and taking care of your fur babies. I am Vaccinated and refrain from going to crowded places so that I can stay healthy and keep those I care about safe. Currently I am at VCU, taking 3 online classes and 1 hybrid class, meaning I only go in on thrusdays at 11am to 1pm. I am only worried about having wifi available so I can study and do my classwork. Other than that I am flexible with your schedule. I'm available practically every day of the week and will give notice ahead of time if I am unavailable. I am currently not offering dog boarding or dog daycare services due to my buildings pet restrictions. I appreciate detailed notes for any special instructions for your particular pet but am very comfortable with taking care of animals of all backgrounds. I take them on multiple walks a day, feed and water them, clean up after them, and also cuddle with them. I've got nothing but love to give and you can be sure that I am highly responsible and take this very seriously. I communicate with occasional updates through texts and pictures/videos and am always willing to give more or less communication depending on your wishes. Your pets are in great hands.
