I’ve been surrounded by at least 4 family dogs (mostly Boxers) throughout my life. When I was 14 I began working at an animal shelter for a year where I took the dogs out on walks and supervised dog meet and greets with potential adopters. At the animal shelter I became familiar with all types of dogs with all types of behavioral traits. I then went on to work at a doggy daycare/boarding establishment for a year where I oversaw doggy playtime with at least 15 dogs at once. I also ensured all dogs received the upmost love and care during their boarding experience. I also gained extensive training on dog behavioral management and a basic training in dog health emergencies. Recently I have begun participating in the local animal shelter’s “skip days” which has given me a solid understanding of the dog walking scene in DC. Overall I have a solid background in dog care for small to large dogs, but above it all I have a strong passion for caring and loving dogs with all I have!
