In my 30+ years of being a pet owner, I have developed a deep passion about ALL animals focusing my passion within the canine family. I believe pet care requires a person to have compassion and love in their heart to provide the required level of care for your 4 legged loved one(s). Great pet care requires BOTH the ability to show your compassion and trust with the "client" and their owner. Without these 2 characteristics, one cannot ensure you have selected the best individual for your loved one. As for my life outside of pet sitting, I am looking into going back to school to work towards a new degree in the medical field. I enjoy hiking, the Blue Ridge Mountains, wine making, cooking, traveling and spending time with with my own best buddy Winston (2yr old Whippet) I am excited to have become part of ROVER and look forward to bonding with your furbabies!
