From childhood to early adulthood, I was lucky enough to have both a family collie named TJ and a yellow lab named Buttercup and loved both as though they were family members. I really believe my experience with animals growing up has made me a more kind and compassionate person. I currently live in too small of a space to have a dog of my own, but I would love to be able to have one someday soon. In the meantime, I'd be delighted to watch and take care of your dog(s). I am a very active person, and living in the heart of DC, I'll be sure to give your pup a lot of long walks, sunshine, and comfort in your absence. Thank you for trusting me to spend some time with your dog!
