Hey there. I grew up with a family dog, but only count my years of experience once I started pet sitting for friends and got a cat of my own. In college I would watch my friend's dog for an extended amount of time while she traveled overseas. This was my first experience caring for a dog that wasn't my own full time and a puppy at that. I truly feel that prepared me for anything Rover can throw at me with time management, care, and working with the owner on maintaining consistent training. I look forward to hearing from you.
