I am a dog lover. I have always had dogs and love taking care of them. Dogs are lots of fun and have unconditional love for their owners as well as caretakers. With this in mind, your pooch will have a second place to live when you are out of town, need over-night services, or dog sitting for anytime necessary. Know your dog's best 2nd home is with me. I currently have clients for whose dogs I take care of when they need services. I am fully insured via Rover and 100% compliant with Rover's commitment to excellence and security. Your pup or pooch is safe and secure to have a great time with me! About this sitter: I am an avid dog lover. I have experience with dogs from dog ownership to having once been a dog walker for local businesses. I am willing to provide dog sitting and travel to your home to ensure your dog is in a comfortable and familiar setting. I am here to pamper your paws. I am a teacher by profession so therefore I take learning and being learned in whatever I do very seriously. I pay close attention to detail and teaching has made me more attentive. I will use these soft skills in this area of expertise as it relates to dog care. But most importantly, I love dogs. I have been a dog- walker/ sitter with other companies in DC and Virginia prior to Rover. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since my adolescence. I grew up having dogs as pets and this followed me on and into adulthood. I've probably owned 10-12 dogs ever since my youth. About my yard No, I don't have a back yard.
