I've loved dogs and cats ever since our family picked up Buddy, our faithful Beagle, back in 2007. As a kid, I took great pains to learn the ropes of proper dog training and maintaining. My dad taught me the fundamentals of raising a good pet and taking great care of him or her. Since Buddy, we've owned other dogs. Rover, our last pet, seemed to be the epitome of a well trained and well cared for animal. I'm on my own now; no more pets in the house but I'd love to share their friendship once in a while. When I heard about Rover.com I jumped at it. I honestly think I would make the ideal pet sitter. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and friendly, and I guarantee I'll get along with your dog!
