I grew up as a cat person and have always loved animals of all kinds, but fell head over heels in love when I got my first dog Marlie, who is now 12 years young! I love the individual personalities that dogs have and their unconditional love and affection. I personally use Rover any time that my husband and I can't be home and we trust our sitter completely with Brad, our 6 year old Beagle/Red Heeler mix, Marlie, our Pitt/Shepherd mix and our home. I look forward to being able to provide the assistance and reassurance you need in caring for your furry family member when you have to be away from home and I have never met a dog that I didn't love!
