I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I started my journey helping animals when I began volunteering at my local Humane Society. Being able to work with the dogs and cats of the shelter and watch as they opened up was truly amazing. I love being able to be a guide to many other animals, hence why I love working with Rover so much. As my life's journey continued and I moved to a new city and I began working full time, I began looking for ways to continue to help out animal owners and that's when I happened upon Rover. I know how stressful it can be leaving for a trip knowing that one will have to leave their animal in someone else's hands. I joined Rover to allow pet owners to feel confident and stress-free leaving their animals with me so that they can better enjoy their time away. Living a few blocks from Forest Park, being close to dog friendly restaurants, and being an avid runner means that if your dog stays with me, it will be sure to get plenty of exercise and excitement. I'll keep your fury friends busy with frequent walks and runs while you're away but also bring them back to you full of excitement.
