Two lifelong dog lovers committed to creating safe, joyful outdoor experiences for pets across Washington, D.C
I am a Washington, DC native with a passion for working with animals. My entire working life has involved caring for animals and overseeing many aspects of animal care operations. From a young age, I also developed a love for the outdoors and count hiking as my favorite outdoor activity. Sine 2018, I’ve owned and operated Metro Mutts, a local pet services company, primarily serving the Capitol Hill/H street area. I’m excited to join forces with Ryann to offer dog hikes and outdoor enrichment with Trail Tails.
I didn’t always have a passion for dogs. After 11 years of working with survivors of domestic violence I wanted to make a change. I loved my pup so much I decided to try dog walking. I always thought all dogs were cute. I had no idea about all of their different personalities, energy levels and how much they just want to make us happy. I have now been in the dog world for over 10 years. What started as a break became a passion. Working with dogs has been a fantastic experience. I started only walking and now I board and am a certified ccpdtka trainer. The relationships we have with dogs are unique and miraculous. I’m in awe of the way they are able to understand us and connect with us. I have genuine love for animals, concern for their health happiness and well being. Whether it is boarding, walking or training my goal is to make sure dogs and owners feel comfortable and confident.
