We are a couple that loves taking care of dogs and going on short and long walks with them. Cesar grew up with three German shepherds and has dog sat for friends multiple times. Elena's family has had dogs since she was 8 and even after moving out she was a big part of taking care of them for many years. Cesar works full time but mostly from home, while Elena is currently studying and working part time a few days a week, so both are flexible and available to watch and walk dogs. We just moved into a townhouse in Old Town Alexandria with a small fenced back patio. It is a very pedestrian friendly neighborhood with many dog parks around that offer great walking opportunities.
