About: Hello, My name is Elaina! I’m a 23 year old who is hoping to help some pet parents feel more at ease while working with me! I worked in an Animal Hospital and Pet Boarding Facility for 3+ years so have lots of experience with all different sizes and breeds, dog aggressive dogs, special needs dogs, etc. I also am familiar with giving medications such as oral, topical, and injections and can give CPR if needed during an emergency. I am here to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! I currently working part time, so it leaves me with plenty of time to care for my senior pup, rabbit and cat. It also leaves plenty of time for me to give love and care to my clients pets! Depending on clients wants/needs, I have a completely fenced in back yard with extra safety on both exits so no accidents. I like to make your pet feel as if they were with their pet parent!
About: I started working at a horse farm in high school and stayed there through after college where I studied wildlife conservation. There I took care of the horses and dogs. I then went to a pet boarding facility where I took care of dogs, cats and small animals. Working there provided me experience in all aspects of taking care of everyone’s furry loved ones. After working at the boarding facility for a couple years I then went on to work at an explosive detection dog kennel, working with high drive working dogs for 4 years. I have experience in basic obedience, behavior modification, and detection dog training. I also have experience with grooming, giving medication, and I have worked very closely with vets so I have a basic knowledge on vet care. I am currently unemployed and between jobs so I am very flexible. I can be available at anytime during the week and weekend as well as drop in whenever is needed. I have 2 dogs, a German shepherd and German Shepherd Mix. They are great with other dogs that are calm so I will be very selective on dogs staying in my apartment. I will never put your dog or my dogs at risk of any harm.
About: I have worked in boarding/daycare facilities and have been in pet care since I was 10. I love all kinds of animals especially dogs. I do have one of my own and he is very friendly and would love some playmates to keep him company! My whole life has been animals and taking care of them. I have a dog of my own and I love taking him to the park or on hikes and walks. I’m very punctual with feeding and medication scheduled as I’m aware of how important that our animals are cared for and well tended to. They will always have 100% of my attention no matter what. The animals come first for me in this line of work and I will do everything in my power to make sure they are cared for and well loved.
About: I grew up alongside my childhood dog and my cat; I don’t have any memories before I adopted my old dog. I love animals so much, so I genuinely enjoy taking care of them and hanging out with them. I have taken care of dogs from 7 months up to 13 years old. Over the summer, I usually dogsit/housesit for a few weeks at a time. A few summers ago, I dogsat for two different families, and I still miss the dogs so much! I just graduated from VCU with a BFA in Fashion Design, I am currently in Winchester working a part-time job. My work schedule is not consistent, but I am available most evenings and should be able to house sit any time. Unfortunately, I can’t care for any animals in my home. However, I’ll follow any instructions to make your pets as comfortable as they would be if their owners were home! I am very understanding of daily routines for pets.

About: Hi, my name is Saniya! I have two high maintenance King Cavalier & poodle mix puppies of my own. I’ve been walking and watching them for over a year. I have watched pit bulls and cats as-well! I work at a pet store with knowledge of proper pet care and needs! My services excel with direction, instructions and previous information about the animal! So let me know what works for you and your family! I am currently working part-time at a pet store as previously mentioned. I typically work Monday-Friday until 3 PM. That is why my services are only provided on Saturdays and Sundays. If the demand for my business becomes higher, I will eventually turn to full-time pet care work! Comfort is my top priority, so my services are provided for you, in your home. I prefer to have an in person conversation beforehand about your dog needs and what you’re comfortable with; Such as walk times, toys they frequently play with and food they typically eat.
About: Our family has a mischievous hound, so our home comes with basic dog proofing. My pups, Cooper and Hank, love all animals and will be a great friend to your furbaby. I regularly do leashed walks, cuddles, and playtime. On nice days, I'm happy to include pups on our hikes, dog park trips, and car rides with approval beforehand. My goal is to always make your dog feel at home and to alleviate the stress that owners like myself experience when trusting someone outside of the pack to take care of their fur family. My vet is no more than 2 miles from my home and my dogs are UTD on all vaccinations. My husband and I are available throughout the weekends to spend as much time with your pets as possible. We are happy to send updates as often as you'd like. My own pups require a lot of patience and care, so I'm no stranger to taking extra precautions with pet. Cooper, my hound, is always looking for trouble and I keep trash cans and anything else he shouldn't have out of reach. Hank is my special boy. He is deaf and partially blind, but we work hard to make sure he is hand signal trained. My husband and I will put the same care and effort into your pets that we would put into our own.
About: I have 15 years of experience with dogs and cats and can’t wait to love yours like my own! References will be provided to all! I am a stay at home wife and am looking to pick up extra work during my free days at home any day of the week. I care for all animals by staying on top of theirs needs and giving them the love and attention they deserve! I am proactive about following specific instructions for all needs of any pets and will always make sure they feel comfortable and safe in any environment.
