About: Since I was a small child, I have had numerous family dogs and otherwise, all of which have helped me develop a deep understanding of love, care, and joy. Each dog I meet leaves a mark on me, and I truly value that. Recently, I left my career in Civil Engineering to pursue my love for dogs and all animals - which has brought me to my most recent job and passion of working at a kennel. I only wish to continue this new journey by helping/assisting/caring for even more animals, which brings me to Rover! I am currently working part-time (25-35 hours per week) at a kennel. I have 3-4 spare days each week - in which I hope to incorporate extra care work into my schedule, which brings me to Rover. I am comfortable with both on leash and off leash care, and am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. In my home, my dog has always been the priority in my day to day. Ensuring good health, a positive atmosphere, and the ability to show them/allow them to live their life to the fullest. I value safety incredibly, and I am confident in my abilities to build trust with any and all dogs - given the necessary time and comfortability.

“Carol managed my two dogs and their visiting cousin like a pro. They are a handful to walk together so I suggested just letting them run around the backyard but she want to give them more so she walked them separately in the neighborhood. And the pictures were great.”
