Hello! My name is Val Suarez and I am excited to care for your four legged pals. As a personal trainer my schedule is flexible, offering me ample time to spend with your pet during breaks. I am available to stay at your home, where your pet is comfortable or they are welcome in mine. I live in a two bedroom, ground level condo in Southeast DC. My neighborhood is quiet and green and I love it! I live with my boyfriend who also loves dogs. Growing up my family always had a dog. By the time I left Texas to finish college and teach overseas we had three poodles-- Lucky, Dusty and Noodles. To fill the void I often sit friends' dogs. To provide individualized attention, I only accept one dog at a time or 2 dogs from the same family, so your dog will be receiving a true home experience. About rates: The rate is for 24 hours of care. There is some flexibility with drop off and pick up times. I would prefer during the week days for drop offs/pick ups to be between the hours of 6p-9p. On the weekends, 12p-9p, but again I can be flexible. Please let me know of your plans when you send in your request.
