I have lived in a house with dogs since I was 5. I grew up taking care of a variety of pets (rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, mice, cats and dogs) because to my parents, it was my responsibility and I loved it. My dog, Bella, who I had for 9 years, had always been on the chubby side but I loved running with her every day and now exercise extensively with our new dog, Buddy. I am a very active person and I love cuddle sessions with my furbaby, hopefully, yours too! I currently have Buddy living with me, but he has recently phased out of his puppy year and prefers to lounge around, which is why I turned to Rover. I wanted the opportunity to continue to interact with animals, stay active and help families with pet care while they are away. I am very experienced, having looked after dogs anywhere from little Yorkies to 180lbs Newfoundland's in animal shelters, zoos, other pet sitting environments, and so on and so forth. I love the work, and I love animals! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions and concerns, I am very flexible!
