**Fun, responsible walks & visits**

Pet care experience

*****I require a "Meet & Greet" with both you and your pet(s) prior to caring for them for many reasons. Thank you very much for understanding the importance of this.**** I worked all through high school at a veterinarian clinic and volunteered at the San Diego Department of Animal Services for several years and have been walking & caring for pets with Rover for approximately five years. I'm very comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats. I have an eye for detail and your fur baby(s) will receive my undivided attention whether for play time and visits or fun walks with treats (belly rubs and butt scratches included). :) I'm friendly and out going and absolutely love being around animals. Special requests and care instructions are not a problem so please do not hesitate to fill me in. I'm very familiar with Hillcrest, North Park, Mission Hills and University Heights areas. The majority of my clients with Rover are returning clients and I'm looking forward to wowing you and your fur baby(s) so please consider me for your pet visits and fun walks, you will not be disappointed!
