Hello! I'm Hayes, your new go-to dog enthusiast here on Rover. I'm here to ensure your babies get the care and attention they deserve. I have experience with animals of all shapes and sizes, but for 11 years my world revolved around my black lab, Coby. Together, we conquered puppy training and faced the challenges of his later years, including diabetes and hind leg issues. This experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of the needs of elderly and high-needs dogs. I'm not just a dog lover; I'm a compassionate caregiver with the skills to administer both pills and shots, ensuring your pets receive the specialized care they require. Beyond my personal connection with my four-legged best friend, I bring extensive experience to the table. I've been entrusted with long-term dog-walking responsibilities, ensuring dogs not only get their daily exercise but also the mental stimulation they crave. House-sitting for various families has given me the opportunity to immerse myself in the unique personalities and routines of different pets, making me adaptable and attentive to their individual needs. Taking care of your pets isn't just a job for me—it's a source of peace and comfort. The joy and companionship I receive from these dogs are just as rewarding as the happiness and well-being I provide them. Your dogs will not only be in safe hands but also surrounded by someone who genuinely cherishes their company.
