Originally from Western New York, and most recently hailing from San Diego, I have lived in DC the past 3 years, 2 of which I spent watching and walking pets, mostly dogs. While in San Diego, I fostered dogs that were being rescued and volunteered at an adoption agency. While living conditions do not currently permit me to keep a dog, I have always loved them and have had a special relationship with them. In order to keep them in my life I began volunteering, and now I am excited to be working with them as part of my daily routine. I have one pet, a cat, Abby, whom I adopted from one of the agencies of my volunteer days. She has been a great companion, even learning to walk on a leash during our great roadtrip from California to DC. Having a background in hospitality, customer service and animals has led me perfectly piqued to begin an exciting new career with Fur Get Me Not. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

I was originally born in Montego Bay, Jamaica but then moved to Orlando, Fl back in 91; I know--it’s been a long time. I attended the University of Florida where I earned my B.S. degree in Hospitality Management in 2009. Afterwards, I moved back home to Orlando but wanted to shake things up, embark on some challenging endeavors, and immerse myself in a new environment. As a result, I moved to DC in August 2011 where I began my new life as an Notre Dame Mission Volunteer/AmeriCorp member working with U.S. Dream Academy which is a Non-profit aiming to direct underprivileged inner-city youth away from a life of incarceration (where their close family members currently reside) by pressing the importance of academics, implementing effective programming, character building, skill building, and dream building. I've always loved pets and currently have a Shih Tzu (Benji) who is four years old. I plan on attending graduate school (not sure where as of yet) and grow as a professional in an educational, non-profit, or human resource development capacity while serving youth and helping Fur-Get Me Not grow as a whole. I'm excited for this opportunity and look forward to being a part of the Fur-Get Me Not family.

Originally from North Carolina, I moved to the DC metro area about 7 years ago. It was meant to be a temporary living location, as I love to travel, but I fell in love with the area and immediately felt at home. My love of animals extends all the way back to my childhood - my mom loves to tell the story of how my sisters and I coaxed a stray cat out of a tree and gave it a better life at our country home. The best part of the story is that we all used to cuddle up with mom (and the cat) each night in the rocking chair before bed. Unfortunately, I don't have a rocking chair or a cat to continue that tradition, so that's why I decided to join Fur-Get Me Not. In addition to dog walking and pet-sitting, I'm also working towards my CPDT-KA. I've studied animal behaviorism with Debbie Winkler/Humane Domain and look forward to continuing my training education here at FGMN. And one day soon, I'll have my very own pup. In the mean time, I'll love yours as you do!

I am originally from Pasadena, CA and moved to DC January 2014. I graduated from California State University, Northridge with a B.A. in History. Prior to moving to DC, I was stationed in North Carolina serving in the Army for 4 years. Currently, I work at Coast Guard Headquarters as a Program Analyst. I am excited to have the opportunity to work at the Dog Wash and meet a variety of different dogs. I have always loved interacting with dogs and figuring out each of their different personalities. My fiancée and I have a Beagle puppy named Kirby who loves to play with all types of dogs, but especially ones more than twice his size! Again, I am excited to meet you and your wonderful dogs at the Adam's Morgan Dog Wash!
