I have had dogs for over 30 years. I love my pets and will care for your dogs as I care for my own. They are our best companions and so much fun. I have used Rover and other services like it for years. I have had good and bad experiences....knowing what makes a great dog-walker and sitter from a client's perspective gives me insight to be a great caretaker for your animals. I know that good communication and caring for your pets as they are my own is paramount. I have had dogs since I was 8 years old. My rescue lab, Cassidy, is 9 years old and amazing. I also have a 17 year old cat, Sampson. Over the years I have had the privilege of having 4 cats, 5 dogs, and 5 chickens. Caring for them has brought me so much joy.
