Safety, trust & environment

Since I’m currently working towards going to vet school, I’ve gained a lot of valuable animal knowledge on in addition to having my own pets I care for. My 5 year old lab mix is very lazy and easy going, but his greatest joys come from walking around and sniffing, so I make sure he gets out and is exercising frequently. Besides that, over the last couple years I’ve gotten valuable clinical and shelter experience that has especially developed both my dog and cat care skills!

Information Virginia V. would like to know about your pet

Specific quirks and behavioral patterns should be relayed to me just so nothing is confusing or off-putting when I’m caring for your pet! Also, any relevant health issues should be addressed!

A typical day

I can deal with high-energy animals who need a lot of playtime, and I'm willing to play with them for as long as they need. But, I can also just keep animals company, give them attention, or even just give them space if that’s a preference! Whatever your pet may enjoy, just let me know and I’ll do my best to provide!

Pet care experience

As a senior Biology student at Binghamton University studying to apply to vet school, I have gained many valuable experiences over the past few years! Frequent shadowing in a clinical setting and volunteering at shelters to walk dogs and feed cats has familiarized me with animal health, handling, and behavior! I also currently work on a farm for a dog breeder, taking care of about 20 dogs per shift by feeding them, changing water, bringing them out, and giving them love and attention of course! I also have senior dog experience, as I have had two senior dogs myself who had unique medical issues. My experiences and love for animals is something I will take with me in every animal care setting!

My dog and I are so comfortable with Virginia. She is a natural with animals and really puts thought into understanding their needs. She truly loves dogs of all kinds. She is trustworthy, reliable and a friend to all canines.
