I grew up with dogs and have come to love being around them! I miss having my own dog, but I am happy to be a sitter with Rover to keep dogs in my life. Back home in California, I trained my two dogs (a golden retriever and a Jack Russell terrier mix) to become pet therapy dogs; I took them to nursing homes to visit the residents. As a teenager, I had my own petsitting business, which included boarding dogs at my house and/or walking them frequently. I also love cats and adopted my own in 2019. I am a medical student and will be working from home for the next few months.
