Highlights
Pet care experience
Pets are the spice of life!
For years, I've walked the fields and trails along the Potomac River with a furry companion - most recently with Flannery, my family's Great Pyrenees who loved romping in Virginia Bluebell flowers and sinking her paws into mud. Animals have always been a part of my life. I've mucked stalls, herded ewes and lambs, evaded headbutting rams, cuddled pigs, milked goats, trimmed hooves, and named a farm dynasty of cats and kittens names like "Nefertiti" and "Isosceles" (after Egyptian royalty and geometry terms). Animals and their personalities are a source of endless interest for me. “If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans.” ~James Herriot

Schedule
I have a flexible work schedule at home and welcome an excuse to enjoy fresh air and exercise together with your pet. I'm available for daycare and dog-walking every day except for Sunday mornings.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog can stay indoor in my apartment or outdoor in the fenced-in yard, as needed. I live in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for walking. If additional space is needed for running and walking in the open countryside, I am also happy to take your dog on a "field trip" to my family's little farm.
A typical day
I love to make circuits around the neighborhood and explore all the sights, sounds and scents. There's a loop along the edge of town with plenty of empty stretches of green grass to roam. A game of fetch is always possible in the back yard.

- I am comfortable walking large and medium-sized dogs, and I've provided pet-sitting for a variety of breeds. I take a gentle approach and enjoy making shy pets feel relaxed. My basement apartment is on the smaller side and the upstairs is used as an Airbnb, so I have a few (occasional) limitations providing daycare. Happy to discuss how we can best meet the needs of your pet!
