Legitimate love for all animals.

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my whole life. There hasn’t been a period in my life when I have not been around some type of animal. I love and respect all animals whether they are big or small, furry or scaly. I am dedicated to the love, care and respect of all animals. Pets ARE family and the pets I have ARE my children and I aim to treat yours as such. I have volunteered at various animal shelters, a zoo, a big mammal rescue and even a veterinarian office. I have experience with a variety of animals and I have had every type of dog and cat from old to young, sick and disabled. I have animal and house-sat for family, friends, coworkers and neighbors since I was 11 and I am the go-to person at my work when someone's pet(s) are needed to be cared for while they're away.

Dakota was amazing! I had him do drop in visits over the weekend and I came home to my house being clean and a little envelope with pictures even! I will 1000% book again in the future with him. He was very communicative and helpful as this was my first time booking with Rover or any other dog service. Thanks for loving my babies, Dakota!
