Since I was born, my family has had dogs as a part of our lives. But with travel and fun with friends, its difficult for me to own my own dog, and I can think of no better way to get my pet fix than through Rover! My family has had two rescued German Shepherds, one Golden Retriever, and currently a miniature Goldendoodle, but that hasn't stopped us from sitting all types of animals for friends and family. The hardest part about leaving home, is saying goodbye to our dog, because she is the best part of home. That's why I want to take care of your pet, to get that feeling of unconditional love, and make them feel at home while you're away! A final note: My rates reflect my level of care. I am an absolute dog lover, and have great respect for my clients' pets and homes. Previously, I would have a lower rate, and accept any client, opening my schedule for anyone in need of pet care. However, with my years of experience and dedication I bring to the job, I have decided to increase my rates. I also know that boarding a dog can be very expensive, and providing the animal an opportunity to remain at home, in their comfortable space, is worth the cost. I look forward to connecting with any potential clients who feel the same way. I am more than happy to discuss how my rates are calculated, and the value I bring as a pet sitter. Thank you!
