The world is definitely a better place with dogs in them! That’s why I became a dog sitter: to make sure that every pup is just as happy as can be. Dogs make our lives easier and give so much to us, so I’m here to give a little back to them as well. Getting to provide the love and care to them so that they can thrive is a kind of therapy in and of itself to me as well! I know how happy I am around pups, so working with them really is a dream come true for me. I have a long history of working with dogs, both as an owner and in a professional capacity as well. Since I was little, my family had two dogs, named Franki and Jett. I grew up in a dog-loving family, which definitely rubbed off on me in a big way! I loved taking care of animals, so I started sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. It was always a great experience, which definitely encouraged me to become a professional caregiver for dogs. I joined Rover over a year ago and started developing my client base! I regularly take care of about 15-20 dogs, and they are all my little canine family! It’s been a great experience and I’ve learned so much along the way. When taking on a new client, I always like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way for us to make sure that we’re all a good fit for each other, and we get to chat face-to-face about the best way to take care of your pooch! I love to talk with owners about what makes their pup tick. After all, no one knows their best friend better than you do! But the meet is also a good time for me to make friends with your pooch, which means I’ll always let them take their time to warm up to me. I like to get on their level so they know I’m here to make friends. Once we’ve become new pals, I like to ask lots of questions, so the meet is just a great time for me to find out everything I can about your pooch! When your pup is under my care, I will put my whole heart into caring for them, all while satisfying my (human) customers' needs. I am big when it comes to affection and companionship with every dog I'm working with, especially considering their owner isn't present. Dogs can get sad and feel lonely when their owner isn't around, and so it is my goal to provide the best customer service I can by being affectionate and attentive to their needs. I’ll always keep lines of communication open between owners and myself in case there is any need to get in contact or ask any questions at all. Additionally, I’m always happy to send daily updates with accompanying pictures so you can see how much fun your pup and I are having together. But no matter what, your pup will be in good and loving hands when they are with me.
