As a Virginia native now living on the Upper West Side, the one thing I miss most about home is the dogs! I grew up with a Golden Retriever, and would help my extended family and neighbors with their own pets. I also volunteered at my local animal shelter all through high school, giving me experience with all different sizes and breeds of dogs and cats! I decided to become a member of Rover because I absolutely love spending time with dogs and cats, and I know how important is it to find someone you trust to look after them. I'm professional, prompt, and will love your pets as much as I love my own. I live right next to Riverside Park, so I really enjoy going outside and going running- I have no problem keeping up with pups of all ages! Alternatively, if your dog prefers cuddles and treats, we can have a fun, low-key time together. Overall I really love dogs and hope that my services will create an environment that keeps your pet happy, healthy, and safe.
