2+ years running a doggy daycare and dog training. 1+ year with an agency doing house to house walks and overnights. 6 months in a pet store caring for puppies (meds, food, cleaning, playing) Decades growing up with dogs as siblings. I speak fluent dog. I have several private clients preceding Rover and have only used this site a little so far. But if you need more reviews/reference, don't be afraid to ask. Artist. My schedule is ultimately whatever I choose. I work from home (or can bring my drawing pad to your home). Extremely flexible and a creative problem solver. Safe vehicle for transporting pets if that's helpful. I have a fenced in back yard and a nice, air conditioned, dry, clean basement where I will be sitting next to your dog at my drawing table. NPR playing. Easy access to the back yard. Friendly housemates for additional fun. My price is negotiated differently for different jobs and different dates. Rover makes you choose a flat fee but that's not realistic. I prefer to meet your dog before agreeing to a price (when possible). I can be utilized in many different ways in addition to your pet care. I have a 7 seater vehicle to bring you to and from the airport. I can take care of the lawn, fix things, pretty good at painting, etc. All things are negotiable.
