About: I've had a 91 lb labradoodle from puppy to now for about 4 years. I've also been told that my cat adopted me about 1.5 years ago. My dog is a happy go lucky guy who's never met a person or animal he didn't like. My cat is about 15 years old and requires injectable medication twice a day, so nothing scares me when it comes to medication. I've taken care of the odd African Grey Parrot from time to time as well. I take my dog out every morning, lunch time and several times in the evening for walks and play. Our cat needs medicine twice a day that requires an injection so I'm well versed in providing medication and taking care of animals with special needs. There's a giant pop up blocking what this field is meant to say but it's saying I have to fill it in, perhaps I can update it later when the pop up is gone.

About: I've had experience taking care of dogs since I was the age of 10 years old. I have done this for family and friends for many years and even assist with grooming needs. I also have experience with giving medications to pets as I have worked as a veterinary assistant in the past. I am currently working at an elementary school but going to school to allow me to have a work from home job. Until then I am more free in the afternoon and evening but I am able to free up some time in the morning to help out. During the summer I do summer camp, working the afternoon/evening shift; however, I am able to adjust my schedule as needed. I have a fenced in yard here at my house so my dogs have free range of the back yard, however when we did not have one we had them out at least every hour. Our dogs get feed twice a day, morning and night, but I can switch however to fit your pet best! During my free time my boyfriend and I like to take our dog, Rico, to go hiking and swimming. We would love to be able to bring him a friend!

“Amazing, cooperative. wanted to meet the dogs for the first time for meet and greet made sure she listen to all my instructions and my dogs will have a wonderful walk with her. She answered my reply very quickly so if you’re looking for ASAP, she would be perfect for it.”

We haven’t had the time to commit to getting a new pet and we miss having one so much we would rather you leave them with us to love on then have them be alone.

About: I have been around all kind of pets since I was 6 and I am good with getting them up and playing and making sure they move and get exercise! I am currently on the hunt for a job as I just moved to Virginia but I can always work around my schedule to get people the pet care they need In my clients home, I will follow the rules they have set in stone and the way they want things done with their pets as everyone is different about how they would like things done.

I would absolutely be willing to send you videos or pictures of your pets throughout the day/on walks so you can have piece of mind that they are having a wonderful time. I am a 911 dispatcher working 12 hour night shifts so on days I work I will not be able to spend over, but other than my job I am completely free to watch animals, housesit, and walk dogs! If one of my day is marked unavailable and you need a walker that day please don’t hesitate to ask, I may be able to make it work! I have such a love for animals and am sad that I can’t own a zoo. If I could I would adopt so many animals. I treat every animal I’m entrusted with like they are my own. If you decide on my care, I promise your animals will be in great hands! I currently own 2 rabbits and a kitten, but I grew up owning dogs, cats and fish.
