My name is Virginia and I am returning to UNCC in the fall to pursue a degree in Education. I have always loved animals and spent a good portion of my childhood studying all things "dog" in hopes of convincing my mother to adopt one. While never successful in convincing her (due to terrible allergies), my passion for animals continued to grow. I volunteered with the Humane Society and was able to put some of that childhood knowledge to work when assisting in walks, socialization, and training. However, my most glowing recommendation would come in the form of my 9 year old Collie Spaniel mix, Merlin, and two 1 year old kittens. Merlin was a shy, timid 3 year old when I adopted him from the Humane Society and has blossomed into a thriving, friendly pup through consistency, exercise, and most importantly love. After all, the best gift humans could have ever received was our steadfast, furry companions and I firmly believe all breeds are deserving of love and attention. Since I will be returning to school in the fall (and currently not taking any summer classes), I have a wide range of availability this summer for walks, drop ins, or overnight visits. Since I have 3 animals of my own now, dog sitting at my own home is on a very strict basis, as I am sure you can understand! My availability, willingness to work with all breeds, and passion for animals is what sets me apart. But enough about me, tell me about you and your furry friend(s)! What kind of service are you looking for?
