I grew up with dogs and wish I could have one of my own, but my housing won't allow it! I’m pretty much on Rover because I can’t have a pet of my own right now. I've fostered dogs, dog-sat, and taken care of the pets belonging to friends and family. I used to volunteer at the Humane Society a few times a week and have experience with everything from young puppies to older dogs with special needs. I have personally raised puppies and have lived with elderly dogs that require medication. I love to walk and run myself, and do a good job gauging your dog's comfort level. I understand the huge amount of love that dog-owners feel towards their pets and that it's important to live up to the owner's expectations for a dog-walker or dog-sitter. I follow instructions well and take them very seriously.
