Hello! I decided to start with Rover to help pet-owners out, make a little bit of extra money, and get some daily exercise. I grew up with cats but have cared for roommate's and friend's dogs in the past. I've gotten along with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I'm patient and affectionate towards all animals, and can't wait to meet your dog! I live very close to several parks with greenways and dog parks. When walking your dog I will avoid major roadways, and communicate with you beforehand (communication is key!) about interactions with other dogs we might meet along the way. I'm generally free in late afternoon/evening during weekdays, but I have more availability on Thursdays and weekends. If you want more than just a walk for your dog, I'd be happy to take them on a short run! I'm an avid runner and would enjoy a canine companion.
