Hi, I’m Haley! I’m new to Rover but not new to pet care. I have over 15 years of professional animal care experience for everything between snakes and horses, but my heart will always belong to dogs. I grew up with Golden Retrievers and cats in the home, and adopted MY first dog at 16. I have three dogs currently: Honey, Bat, and Jonesy. You can read more about them on my profile! I lost my senior dog, Ellie, in April 2024. She had a slew of health problems including Cushing’s and diabetes. Being her mom for 12 years was the greatest gift, but caring for her at the end of her life was the greatest honor. The last few years with her came with its own set of challenges - but it ultimately taught me more about senior dog/special needs care than I ever anticipated. Rest assured I am confident and comfortable with injection medication as long as you point me in the direction of your pets preferred injection site. In addition to my own animals, I spent my youth learning from my aunts in the animal business One is a pet sitter with 30+ years of experience. The other runs a small boarding facility for dogs, horses, cats, and llamas on her 20 acre ranch in. Growing up with them I didn’t just learn how to care for animals, I inherited a deeply rooted respect and reverence for them.
