Hello! I’m a 22 yr old college student that has grown up with and taken care of many dogs. I prioritize patience with your pup warming up to me while creating a safe environment for them to explore. My apartment has a small, private, gated yard with enough space to get your dog some exercise and time outside! I also have two dogs of my own that are always up for playing, but if your pup is more on the shy side I have a doggy gate in my apartment so you don’t have to worry about that. In addition, I find that it is more of a smooth transition to let your dog explore my apartment/outdoor area first on his/her own before letting my pups out. After being a Rover sitter for about three years now, I take pride in maintaining a safe yet friendly environment that I would want my own dogs to be staying in. I send frequent pictures and updates of your fur buddy so that you know how he/she is doing. I live with 3 other people (my family) that love meeting new dogs as well! Thankfully, my family supports my dog-sitting business to ensure complete safety and peace of mind for you and your dog. Your dog won’t just get a care taker, they’ll get some new friends :) I can’t wait to meet your fur buddy!
