I love dogs! I've always had a dog until the last couple of years when I lost my Cocker Spaniel Millie. I am retired, but sometimes sub at the preschool where I used to work. I watch my 2 grandson's 3 days a week, they are 14 and 7. I am active and love to take walks. I have been to 2 different dog training programs with my own pets and learned some valuable techniques. We have a nice fenced backyard and dog toys available. I've been dog sitting for friends off and on for years and heard about Rover and decided to offer my home and time to someone else's beloved pets. I hope to help people who want to take vacations, yet want to know that their pet is safe at home, with someone who will keep them safe and loved.
