Great w/ medicated/senior animals

Pet care experience

I have over 20 yrs experience with housesitting, dog walking and caring for animals. I received a BS in Animal Science from Texas A&M. I have many years experience working as a Vet Tech (daily care, surgeries, medications, handling, senior animals, walking, play times) Animals are my passion and my joy. I have worked with all types: cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, turtles. I have dedicated half my life to taking care of and helping animals. I specialize in senior animals and animals with special needs or ailments/issues that might arise. I have cared for animals with Diabetes, leg/hip surgery, arthritis, anxiety and many other conditions. I enjoy spending time with animals daily and giving their owners comfort while they are out of town, or at the office for the day. I try to make the animals, as happy as they can be, while their owners are away and give the owners sense of peace while they are not with their pets. I don't have any breed that is my favorite, but I am fond of large breeds. I love learning about new breeds and definitely read about the breed if I am unfamiliar. I have an incredible group of vet techs and doctors I can talk with about any issue/ailment that the animal might have. I always try to follow the owners schedule with their pets, as close as possible, and I am more than willing to spend extra time with them, if need be.

Virginia was absolutely wonderful. Our two pups are 16 years old and need a lot of attention.

Virginia is so great with my cat. Honestly don't know what I'd do without her. She's great and providing me feedback on her conditions and offering care to my cat when military duty calls.

Information Virginia P. would like to know about your pet

I like the giant breeds, but no preferences. I have a lot of experience caring for Mastiffs, Labradors, Retrievers, Border Collies, Westies, Frenchies, Newfoundlands, Boxers and many, many others. I like to know the dogs routine and how a typical day for them goes. If there are any medications or if the animal suffers from anxiety, arthritis or has any issues/ailments, if they like other dogs, what commands they use for their pet. I will always do a meet and greet and find out what all of the necessities are and where everything is located. I like to find out who their veterinarian is. I'm pretty thorough on finding out the ins and outs of the animal and their owner.

A typical day

I love being around animals and I love the outdoors. I have a great throwing arm for catch, I love snuggling, petting and having fun with them. We go for car rides to the park or a stroll through the neighborhood. I take care of whatever needs the client has for the animal. I am definitely an animal person, I bond with them very quickly and I enjoy spoiling the heck of them (within guidelines of the owner)
