I have always had much love for animals and have been pet sitting for friends and acquaintances since college. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, and hedgehogs. My current apartment does not allow dogs and I've often said I would love to just borrow a dog to take walking with me, so Rover is a perfect fit to get to interact with dogs in my neighborhood. I used to teach music at a private school. Now I perform and teach private lessons, so I am usually available on weekday mornings and early afternoons until 2 or 3. On weekends my availability varies. I understand that your dog is a special part of your family and I will treat him or her with just as much care as I treat my students.
