She Took detailed notes during the meet and greet, and went the extra mile to conducted a meet and greet w another walker after I had to extend my trip.

About: I've always had dogs in my life, mainly large ones. I've helped train and raise puppies, and I have experience taking care of reactive dogs. I am a law student with early mornings and evenings generally free. I do not have classes on Fridays and stay in town on the weekends, which makes me available for when you want to take a fun long weekend! I am happy to care for dogs in their home in whatever way works best! I have experience with crate training, and I love to play with active dogs and relax with more chill ones.

About: I worked in a vet clinic as my part time job and I grew up owning all type of pets. Im not a veterinarian but I always enjoyed being around animals. I first started using rover a few months ago and its had its ups and downs but once I got content with everything, things started to become smoother. Please know that I will make sure your fur babies are taken care of and if anything comes up I WILL communicate with you. I am human and had some mistakes but I always make sure I get the job done! If you have ANY questions about my reliability, relationships with animals, or anything at all please contact me! I first moved to St. Louis about a year ago for an internship and recently got hired on. Im now working fulltime and in between I like to rover to keep busy. Pets can roam free in the house and I will typically walk the dog in the fenced area of my apartment. If im dog sitting then I’ll make sure we have a clear understanding of what time I’ll be arriving and leaving the premises.
