I have a dog of my own, and have been caring for her for 3+ years. In the past, I have taken care of pets I've had for as long as I could (some were given away and passed). I had a lot of animals growing up (mainly dogs), so that got me interested in caring for animals. I am new to Rover and my schedule is pretty pretty flexible (for the time being). My special skills involve keeping pets entertained to the best of my ability and following instructions given by other pet owners (I may call or text to ask if I'm doing the instructions right). I'm also accessible very easily through call or text (I'm not as busy, most of the time).
