I grew up with many different dog breeds (including a Great Dane and high-energy boxer mixes) and now have an 11-year-old terrier mutt. (He really did win a blue ribbon at the DC State Fair for being the most unidentifiable mutt!) I have been known as a responsible, go-to dogsitter among friends for many years. Dog parents will appreciate my reliability and my attentiveness to their pooches' needs. Pooches will appreciate my love of long walks and frisbee-throwing expertise. I have experience taking care of senior dogs, anxious dogs, and high-energy dogs. In the past, I volunteered at rescue shelters and attended obedience and agility courses with my family's pooches. I am knowledgeable about different breeds' temperaments, quirks and needs. I look forward to getting to know you and your pooch!
