For my entire life, my family has owned dogs making me a lifetime dog lover. I have cared and watched dogs on my own for the majority of my life and absolutely love it. I love all dogs both big and small. I currently have a Pomeranian and a Shih Tzu. :-) I will snuggle with your dog, take it for long walks, play with, and treat them like I do my own. I can check in on your dog while you're away to cut down on your dogs stress level, or I can board them in my home. While boarding at my home, my general rule is to allow only one dog at a time so that I can give them and my own pups a lot of attention and make sure that everyone is not overwhelmed. I do telework some days as well, so I will be able to spend ample time with your dog during the week. I work and live in DC but am able to get to VA and MD for walks and check ins. I understand that dogs are family, and I treat them as such. Feel free to ask may any questions that you may have:-)
