As a biologist I love all animals and doggies rank among the top! I’ve done a lot of dog sitting via rover and for close friends and have lots of happy repeat clients. I recently got my own little furball, a cockapoo, and have been pretty busy raising and training her. I'm very playful and responsible with pets, and like to make sure that my time with them reinforces the training and habits you have with them at home. I've been training my own puppy pretty extensively so I'm also happy to sit puppies and help keep your training going. I have volunteered at dog shelters and dealt with a wide variety of personalities, temperaments, and ages. I'm very patient with dogs and understand that each dog is unique. I also had a variety of other small pets throughout my life including rabbits, hamsters, fish, and turtles and would be happy to look after other pets in addition.
