I grew up with a medium-size black lab mix and a crazy outdoor cat and I frequently walk and look after dogs and cats through the app and for friends and family. I live in central DC near a great dog park and love spending time with dogs, getting them exercised and socialized (or keeping them away from trouble spots if they don't get along with other dogs). I've also taken care of many cats over the years. I understand how much people's pets mean to them and will treat your dog or cat with the same love and attention you do. I look forward to giving your pets the attention and exercise they need when you're not available! I also have a fair amount of flexibility in my work schedule and can be available in the middle of the work day as needed. I'm also happy to work with reactive or anxious animals. I have my own reactive dog who I've done extensive training with and I will treat your pet with patience and care, meeting them where they're at.
