Why am I qualified to take care of your pets? I've had dogs, cats, horses and livestock my whole life. I've had jobs caring for horses, dogs, cats, and even cows. I've been a volunteer at Guide Dogs for the Blind and another guide dog school in Norway Last but not least, I have bachelors and masters in Animal Science, have taken courses in animal anatomy, nutrition, biology, animal welfare and behavior, and have been trained to administer medications. Why am I passionate about providing the best care for your pets? For 33 years (my whole life!), dogs have been important family members and I will treat yours as such! I love exercising and exploring, and have the energy and desire to give your dog the mental and physical stimulation he/she needs. I enjoy helping people as much as I like helping animals, and believe that going on vacation is important. I will do my best to ensure that your animals are safe and happy, so you can enjoy your time away to the fullest! I have two dogs of my own and they will need to come with me when I housesit, so we should meet ahead of time to make sure everyone gets along. Although I am new on Rover, I have been dog sitting for many years and have plenty of references. Feel free to ask!
