Hey there! My name's Mattea. I recently moved to Kensington from DC - I miss hanging out with friends' dogs & would love to hang with yours! Since graduation I have very badly wanted to get my own dog or cat but haven't been able to because of my living situation. I have been living vicariously through friends who have dogs for too long! I would love to hang out, walk and play with your pup! I'm responsible, prompt and attentive. Nothing bums me out more than the thought of a dog being kenneled or left alone for hours without a human. I grew up caring for my family dogs - Hannah & Buddy - and dog-sitting for neighbors. Buddy - a sweet, goofy black lab/chow mutt - had an auto-immune disorder & required special care, so I have experience giving extra attention to dogs with special needs! Namely, Buddy required oral medication and regular baths with medicated shampoo & post bath medicinal lotion.
