I started hosting dogs in my home when I became a part of Rover in 2013. As a dog owner or any one caring for a dog, I believe our actions directly affect their day-to-day lives and well-being. I approach care for pets as taking on the responsibility to offer them the best love and care that I can. I have 10 years of experience professionally caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My love for animals expands even further than owning and caring for animals- from volunteering at the local animal shelter to adopting a vegetarian lifestyle. I have my own pup, too! I have a 9yo chihuahua mix named Tank. He's a tiny guy whom you will most likely find halfway under the nearest blanket with his tongue hanging out.
