13. Brooke L.
About: Hi my name is Brooke, I’m a 3rd year at UVA studying business in the McIntire school of commerce, and I love animals. I have a lot of experience with being a caregiver for pets. My uncle previously was a breeder and he would have my sister and I take care of the puppies during his work days. I also have experience with caring for others pets and have completed many services through Wag. It’s currently the summer so I have a lot of time to spend with animals throughout the day. But during the year I will be in school and have availability during the evenings and weekends. Depending on any service, I usually read the owners notes to care for the pet during the time asked to do so. I’ve previously used Wag and when I complete the services I communicate a lot with the pet parents throughout the time letting them know what I’ve done, etc.

18. Clare F.
About: I am lucky enough to say that I have never lived without a dog! Charlie and Frankie were Black Labs, and Willie is a Yellow Lab. I love taking Willie on walks and to the dog park when I am home for breaks. I have experience with dogs of all ages, and have a love for senior dogs, as I know from my own dogs how they can be slower and more gentle in their later years. I am excited to get to know your dogs! I am a fourth year at UVA and have a pretty open class schedule. I am available in the mornings to midday, and evenings on Mon-Thurs, as well as all day Friday and Sunday. I am a very responsible person, so walking dogs on leashes and staying attentive to their safety is my biggest priority! I am happy to work with your and your dog's needs to make sure they are having a safe and fun time.
