I’ve taken care of pets since I was about 8 years old. I also grew up with dogs in my home and responsibilities were shared amongst the kids in our house. Now as an adult, my husband and I have two furry family members of our own - Reba & Penelope. I’m comfortable walking dogs, giving medications (I’m a registered nurse for people), feeding, playing and providing ample snuggles and petting time. I’m currently a graduate student and work as a nurse. I try to keep my schedule updated on rover, but if I’m unable to fulfill your request, I will let you know promptly. My husband (Ryan Gagliardi) is also on rover and may be able to meet your booking requests when I am not. I care for all animals as if they were my own. My husband and my schedules essentially revolve around our dogs well being. Our idea of a wild evening is walking our dogs, chasing them around our yard and then cozying up to a show with the dogs cuddled up with us on the couch. If I’m caring for a pet in another person’s home, I’m happy to respect the rules and training that you’ve established with your pet in regards to feeding, furniture use, etc. I'm currently a graduate student. I will keep my rover calendar updated as at times my schedule will change. I am happy to serve both regularly scheduled visits/walks as well as one-off visits based on my availability. And I am happy to adapt to each animals routine in order to provide them the best possible care. I care for each animal as if they were my own. I understand that needs and likes/dislikes vary for each animal. Before accepting care of your furry friend, I will ask for instructions so that I can best meet their needs. I draw on my many years of having pets as family members -both growing up and currently - in order to provide your animal with a fun and safe environment.
