About
I am passionate about the health and well being of pets while in my personal care. I have been pet sitting for 15+ years and decided to take my love for animals further and become certified Vet Assistant. I currently work at a veterinary hospital. I do have references I can share from my previous employer if requested. I offer a safe environment for pets to be tended and cared for. This includes doggy daycare, house visits( walks, litter box changed, and feeding) and boarding. I have experience in providing toe nail trims, anal gland expressions, and baths if any are needed for an additional cost. I will request a meet and greet prior to being hired. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!!

How did you get started in this business?
I moved to Virginia from Arizona big and pregnant. It was hard to find work at a vet clinic while in this condition because you can't do all the required work. Might potential harm the baby with restraining, X-rays, dog bites, etc. I wanted to be able to work from home and around my fiancé's schedule, so I started a doggy daycare. When the pandemic came around this line of work was wonderful for me and my family. Virtual learning was not a big deal because I was already home. This has honestly been a fun journey and I'm blessed to have gotten to do it.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I work with all types of personalities and people. I'm a very social person so it's very fun to be able to meet new people since I'm originally from Arizona.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Honestly, I love that I'm able to make friendships through my pet care business. Oh, and of course getting to work with animals has always been my passion. That isn't really one event, but I like it. :-)
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
To be careful. These are people coming into your home and handling your pets while no one is there. It's important to get references and make sure these people are trustworthy.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Obviously, what's there experience with pets? :-)

What should you do if another owner wants their dog to say hi?
