Hello there! I wanted to join Rover to fill my void of not being able to have a dog of my own because of a unpredictable travel schedule for work. I've been caring for and volunteering with dogs specifically for 10 plus years. I'm an animal rights advocate and will treat your pet as a part of the family. Throughout my undergrad experience I volunteered with Pets Helping People, caring for and walking retired greyhound dogs. After college I volunteered at WAG a homeopathic veterinary medicine practiced. I work 9-5 or 8-4 during the week but have flexibility to work from home if necessary. I am a really big believer in making your pet feel safe and loved while your away. Big fan of getting out into nature or exploring the city on a walk. I currently live in a split level house with a backyard. I also live right across the street from Franklin park which is a great spot to take dogs on a walk nearby.
