INTRO: I will care for your pet like he or she is my own family member! I make sure your dog gets the proper attention, exercise and nutrition he or she may need. I love spending time with animals, this includes snuggling and games. I am more than willing to do house sitting duties as well, like watering plants, checking mail, signing for packages, or anything else you may need while you are away. I'm also open to caring for fish and other aquatic and exotic pets. ABOUT ME: I grew up with two chihuahua mixes and have been around dogs of all breeds for the majority of my life. I had a pet turtle for many years when I was a kid and I have also been around many cats though through family and friends. I work from home so I am able to provide your dog with many bathroom breaks as well as outside time. When it is nice out I often work in the backyard with my dog. I can also provide walks / leash training when they are in my care. OUR HOME: I live with my fiance (also a verified Rover sitter!) and our super senior chihuahua mix and live in a small row house across from a park. I never let my dog out without a leash and close supervision and will provide the same to your pet. There is plenty of couch space for naps and cuddles, as well as little corners for makeshift caves and relaxing spaces -- though we have 4 formal doggy beds as well. We can also divide the space in half if your pet needs some independence or boundaries, or there is room for a crate. For sleepovers, dogs are not usually allowed on beds but they often do find themselves there, somehow.
