About the caregiver

I am a Graduate Student at Marymount University (studying Forensic and Legal Psychology), with a degree in Psychology and Criminology, and I am also a substitute teacher with Arlington County Public Schools. I have always loved and cared for all animals, but lately have been really missing my own dog (a yellow lab named Bella) who lives with my family in Florida. Now that I live in an apartment building with tons of dogs I see everyday, I felt this was the perfect time and place to work with animals again! Over the years I have taken care of many dogs of various sizes and personalities--doing dog sitting, walking, feeding, and some training, with plenty of playing mixed in. I already walk/jog all around this area everyday, and know lots of great places to take a pup to explore. I am an extremely attentive and responsible person, and am very good at watching and listening to dogs' behaviors (thank you, Psychology), and just at good at handling any potential issues that might arise (thank you, Cesar Millan.) I look forward to meeting and taking care of your best friend with as much care and love as I would my own!
