I believe that all living beings are worthy of respect and can teach us something valuable. Dogs teach us loyalty and trust, while cats teach us independence and intuition. I long for that kind of connection with animals in my life right now, and since I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I decided to join Rover.com. I will happily take on all sizes and breeds of dogs. That said, if your dog loves to be outside, we’ll get along especially well. I love being in the outdoors—I visit national parks two or three times a year. As for meet-and-greets, I expect that we will hold one before the stay, but beyond that, I don’t have any policies for the meeting itself. I will ask you for whatever information and instructions your dog needs so that they will have a happy and fun time with me. On my end, I will stay in constant contact with the pet's owners with text/phone call updates, follow the pet owner's instructions and provide photos or videos to the pet's owner during the visits. There is no greater joy than being around animals, and it would be my pleasure to work with your pets soon!
