Hi there! Prior to starting Rover in April 2021, I served as a Senior Animal Rights Advocate for The Humane Society of the United States. Throughout my canvassing efforts in the Richmond area, I had the honor of informing the public on current animal rights issues, national/local legislation, and shared how our community could actively stay involved. I have also worked for a small animal hospital in Carytown in the past where I regularly scheduled spay/neuter surgeries and vaccination appointments. I have an extensive amount of experience handling dogs, cats, and rabbits of many sizes! I loved learning about the medical side of pet wellbeing from the veterinarian and vet techs I worked with - I regularly use this clinical experience combined with my compassion for animals to provide the best care possible. I’m a cat & dog mom who has always had a pet growing up (dogs, cats, birds, fish - you name it), so I’ll care for yours as if they’re my own. I’m tidy, kind, and fun - Your pet will be spoiled and loved on so much by me. Not only do I love providing detailed notes for each visit, but I take lots of photos throughout my stay so you're always kept in the loop with how your pet is doing.
