**About me**
I'm 24 years old, I have a degree in Anthropology and Gender Studies, and I'm an aspiring illustrator and graphic novelist. I live in Arlington, but I frequent Riverside for good vegan food! Most of my job experience is in the food industry, usually in a cafe; I grew tired of working long hours standing up, some days I would never get the chance to be outside in the daylight! Most
importantly, I had no time for my family, my art, or for myself. So in November 2016 I quit my job and started Dog walking on Rover and it was the best decision I ever made! I'm so much happier now because I get to be outside AND be with dogs all day Dog walking and sitting has become my main source of income because this is what I love to do!
**About my home/services**
I live in a house in Arlington with my mom, brother, 7 dogs, and 6 cats! We have a huge fur family, and that's how we like it!
I don't usually board dogs in my house because we have so many pets ourselves, and dogs get overwhelmed just like people do!
Dog sitting in my client's home is my favorite because not only does your dog feel like their on vacay, but I feel like I'm on vacay! So grateful that my job doesn't feel like a job!
I love taking pups on long walks and going to the local dog parks or just playing fetch and tug-of-war. I love to make time-lapse videos of me playing with your pup just to show you how much fun we're having!
**About my neighborhood**
I live in Grove Park which is in the St. Nicholas/Arlington area; I have lived in this neighborhood for almost 20 years now, so I know the neighborhood like the back of my hand. I frequent the Riverside area a lot because of all the vegan food and a lot of my friends live there.
**What to expect**
I want all the love and all the kisses from your fur baby. I don't mind being tackled with slobbery kisses! All the cuddles all the time, I love when I get to slumber party pups; I let my dogs sleep in the bed with me at night, so I hope your dog will too!
I love to run, so I have a lot of exercise gear lol! Fanny pack, FitBit, head lamp, reflector jacket, you name it, I got it! So your pup is in for a treat if they love to play, run, and go on long walks!
I'm that person who talks to dogs because they can definitely understand me.
**Special rules or requests**
I have my own vehicle and would love to take your dog to the park if you feel comfortable!
I don't have any limitations on size or breed because I don't discriminate! I am petite so if your pup is big and strong and pulls a lot, just warn me! I'm stronger than I look ;-)
I love to do meet and greets! They help me get to know you and your dog most importantly, but we get to ask each other questions, and it gives everyone peace of mind!
