I am a new resident to DC, having moved for graduate school this past June from NY. All my life I have lived with pets, both dogs and cats, however my new living situation sadly does not allow for me to have a pet. As a big animal lover, I sorely miss having pets in my life for their love and companionship and with graduate school, I have a flexible schedule that will allows me plenty of time to spend checking in on your pets. Most of my experience with dogs comes from raising my family's two Wheaton Terriers, who have sadly passed away in recent years of old age. When they were puppies, I played a huge roll in helping train our dogs basic commands (sit, stay, roll over, etc.) and was always responsible for feeding and walking our dogs. Most recently, in the last year of my dog's life I was also responsible for administering a daily IV to treat her failing kidneys. As such, I feel pretty confident in my abilities to care for dogs of any age.
