Hi there! I'm glad you clicked on my profile. I hope it shows how much I love animals and that I treat all pets I watch as if they were my own. I have had dogs my entire life. My parents actually got a dog before having kids! My entire life we had Labradors or other big dogs but I do love them all. When I went to college I couldn't have a dog normally so I joined a non profit that raised service dogs for the blind. They would follow me around campus causing most people to stare at the wiggling butt beside me. I was responsible for exposing them to different social situations as well as basic obedience commands. I have worked with many different kinds of temperaments and I am comfortable with just about any dog. I graduated a few years ago and moved to Atlanta and with my job. The travel required means I'm not ready for a dog of my own. But since I miss the furry companionship I decided to join Rover. I have experience in all levels of training from basic puppy skills to more advanced commands. I love taking care of dogs and watching them learn. I love all kinds of dogs and have the patience to work with even the most timid ones. I have worked with puppies all the way up to aging dogs and I am able to work with all energy levels. I love teaching new things, going for walks till we're both tired or just relaxing and cuddling on the couch. Whatever your dog likes I am more than happy to oblige. Have other pets besides dogs? I grew up in a house with all kinds of animals. I can't imagine the zoo my parents dealt with. We had guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, fish, and even turtles at one point. I also worked at a pet store in college so I have expanded my knowledge on many different species. Whether it be fish, reptiles, small animals or even just a cat. I would love to look after them for you while you are away.
