Pet care in Washington, DC
I have my own sweet pup, Theo, and absolutely love animals! I live downtown and have some extra time on my hands. I'd be happy to help walk your dog or care for your pets while you're away. I know the comfort in knowing your animals are safe and happy!
I am more than comfortable with dogs. I have been volunteering at Guiding Eyes for the Blind and have been to classes on how to handle dogs. Volunteering included puppy sitting! Sometimes for one night or afternoon, and others for weeks at a time. I am fully prepared to animal sit any dog :)
