How good are dogs?! I am a huge dog lover with 10+ years of experience as a responsible pet owner and caregiver. In addition to taking care of our family dog during her 16 years of frisbee catching, I am also a Dog mom the sweetest chihuahua mix I rescued as a stray in Mexico. As a pup parent myself, I understand the patience, compassion, and diligence it takes to ensure the health and wellbeing of our animals, and you can rest assured I bring that same intention into my interactions with your fur babies. I have been a trusted source for house and pet sitting for friends and family alike. Over the years I have enjoyed the opportunity to bond with a variety of breeds of dogs and personality types, and am particularly sensitive to the needs of rescues and understand the importance of establishing trust and routines. I have the energy to keep up with the most rambunctious pup, but am always keen for a laid back stroll and am happy to accommodate whatever the individual needs of your dog may be. I really believe the key to successful pet care is open and clear communication with pet owners! I am new to Rover and excited to meet some new adventure buddies, until I am able to get established I am happy to provide prospective dog parents with additional references or answer any questions you may have in addition to offering discounted walks/check-ins!
