About: I have previous experience in caring for an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix for long periods at a time. Being a high energy dog- I’m prepared for anything. I’m willing to help in whatever way I can- and provide your pet with love and attention! I have always had pets, but currently can’t afford to keep one myself. Growing up I had a Rottweiler and a Jack Russell, as I became a teenager we adopted a Pit Bull type dog who really changed my perception about the breed. I have high energy myself- so I love to be able to get dogs outside as much as possible and burn off a lot of their pent up energy. Dogs need it just as much as children do! I work a normal 9-5 job usually Monday- Friday but I have a partner who works from home, who I could argue loves pets as much as I do. I have a big yard and perfect sized home that is very safe for big and small pets as it is a single floor home. I do have a crate if needed for your fur baby and will treat them like my own pet.

I am available with a flexible schedule and can visit your home as needed to care for your pets. I am currently not working and available to care for your dog. I will be able to accommodate your dogs needs for medicines and potty breaks. I am happy to care for your pet(s) as instructed and as needed. I can feed and administer medications as well. Be confident that I will do as we planned!

About: I’ve grown up with pets at home for the last 17 years. My extended family all have had dogs my entire life varying from Rottweilers, dachshunds, German shepherds and yorkies. I’ve walked, dog sat, bathed, taken care of for both short and extended periods of time for family and friends for about 10 years. I’ve recently moved to Virginia with some family and although not “technically” mine, currently with an extra 4 Maltese and 1 mastiff I set my own hours with my day job. Because of that, I set the same hours on a weekly basis to minimize any confusion. My parents currently have a dog who is very anxious and easily scared so from my personal experience, I’m great with making sure a dog feels more than comfortable with me. I allow them to sniff my hand and/or anything else including shoes, pants, shirt, whatever they need to feel comfortable. Trust with a dog is built over time and I will never force you for baby to go with me if they don’t feel safe.

11. Dawn G.Star Sitter
“Dawn is an amazing, caring, loving person. When she cared for my pup Mocha, I could see in their initial reaction with each other during our meet and greet, just how amazing, patient, and a true animal lover she is. Dawn puts the pups first, and made Mocha feel right at home. She always provided pictures and updates on how Mocha was doing, this of course gave me peace of mind knowing Mocha was having a good time. When Mocha came home she was happy and tired, I would absolutely without question be using Dawn again for my Mocha, and have already recommended her to everyone I know :) Thank you again for taking such good care of Mocha and also for taking the extra time making sure Mocha would eat, which is no easy task I know! lol”
