I would love to spend time with your dog(s)! When I was growing up, my family always had one or more dogs- all Labrador retrievers. I really miss having dogs in my daily life so I'll give your fur-child lots of love and attention. My husband, Greg, also helps out with the dogs so your dog will get double the attention! I have an undergraduate degree in animal science and a graduate degree in education. I have worked at a horse farm and a dairy farm. I owned and cared for two horses prior to moving to the city. I currently work for a non-profit in Arlington, VA and volunteer at a therapeutic horseback riding facility. I'm happy to watch your dog over night in your home and keep them safe, happy, comfortable and healthy while you are away. If you are located close to my office, I am happy to drop in during the day as well. Greg and I can split coverage to make sure your dog gets all the care he/she needs and we'll send you lots of pictures along the way. Please note: on one night requests that require more than 18 hours of coverage, the rate will be increased.
