Availability

I work full-time as a teacher. During the school year, I'm gone from 8:20am-4:40pm M-F. I do have a dog walker that comes between 11-1 to provide a 15 minute walk. She is able to take 1 other dog with her, with your permission. On the weekends I'm usually home most of the time and love spending it with my pup!

Safety, trust & environment

Walks at least 3 times a day in a very dog-friendly neighborhood! I have a 7-year-old boxer mix. He is a rescue who is very sweet, but a bit timid at first. He loves to play with other dogs, though! Although I don't have a fenced yard, I do have a tether that allows my dog (and any doggie visitors) to enjoy the outside with supervision, of course! My pup loves to bathe in the sunshine. I live within 10 minutes walking distance of Shirlington dog park. So lots of play time options!

Information Kristine M. would like to know about your pet

What does he/she love to do the most? Where does he/she prefer to sleep? How often and how much does he/she eat? How well does he/she get along with other dogs? How many times a day does he/she usually go for a walk? Is she/he house-trained? Do they take any medication that I need to administer?

A typical day

We'll walk around my neighborhood, which is very dog friendly! We can also go to the dog park, if that is a good fit for your pup. We'll play lots of fetch. Your dog will have lots of fun playing with my pup, too!

Dog-Lover Seeks Dogs to Sit For

Pet care experience

I've been a dog lover my whole life! I've had my own dog since I was 24 years old. Before that I had a family dog growing up. For almost 17 years I had a Boston Terrier. In the time that I had her, I administered various medication and care. I trained her as a puppy at 8 weeks old and took care of her as a senior dog when she was blind and deaf with doggie dementia. I have experience with all ages of dogs.
