I have had a dog for the past 15 years of my life and have been a dog-lover for my entire life. Growing up, every morning before school I would take my dog for a walk/ run and I miss doing that since I moved to DC. Both of my previous dogs have had medical emergencies, so I know rudimentary care for dogs. My sister is an animal trainer (and past vet tech) and has taught me some of the tricks of the trade. I am available during the weekends all day and on the weekdays in the morning and evenings (I could come during my lunch break if you live close to my office in DC). I am a working professional but also attending grad school at night (but not during the summer). I wanted to join Rover because I miss having four-legged running partners and pups to play with!
