I have been a dog owner and dog lover for the past 14 years. Having big and small, old and young dogs has given me experience to spend quality time with your dog! I currently have a mini Australian shepherd who is just over a year old, so I know how to tire out a high energy dog! I am a part time substitute teacher for Arlington public schools making my availability very flexible. I enjoy taking dogs to Roosevelt island to run with me. I always keep an extra bag of food and water bowl in my car so your dog will be in great hands. I am more than happy to share my bed with your dog whether it's at my place or yours.
