DorothyDASH Pet Taxi Service - Washington, DC

Verified Member since Mar 2024 Verified checkmark

I am so excited to transport your pet anywhere in the DMV area or beyond! My two favorite passions are PETS and DRIVING! I decided to become a PT Pet Taxi driver to combine these two interests. I love to drive, have a driver's license, and am insured. I'm very reliable, independent, calm, and extremely comfortable around pets. My love of animals started as a child and over the years I have owned guinea pigs, hamsters, hermit crabs, chinchillas, lizards, iguanas, multiple dogs, many cats and more!

My first professional pet related experience was volunteering at Kentlands Animal Hospital taking care of a variety of animals. There I received training in helping dogs recover from surgery by putting them on underwater treadmills. I then worked at Starwood Pet Resort for just under a year, where I was surrounded by dogs all day in the boarding area, caring for them, taking them out to play, cleaning their kennels, and walking them. I then took on a position as a Kennel Assistant at Kenwood Animal Hospital where I kept a digital log of dogs and fed, walked, and medicated up to 40 dogs a day. I began my time at the hospital working as a Daycare Attendant in their Kenwood Canine Clubhouse, interacting with clients, and supervising and playing with up to 50 dogs at a time. I also worked at PetSmart as a Retail Sales Associate. For the last year and a half I have been a delivery driver for two florists, Uber as well as DoorDash.

I will take wonderful care of your pets as I transport them to your desired destination. I pick up and drop off animals to and from vets, hospitals, daycare and boarding facilities, groomers, playdates, neighborhood houses, and more! 

Please reach out now - I am so excited to meet you and your pet! I do not transfer individuals with their pets. My business involves solely me and your pet!
