I have owned and fostered many dogs throughout my life. I also worked at a pet store for several years and volunteered at a shelter in college. Additionally, I was an equestrian and spent years working with horses. I truly love animals and I have a vast range of experiences with many different sizes, ages, breeds, and temperaments. Since becoming a Rover sitter, my experience has evolved tremendously. I now specialize as a care taker for special needs dogs with IVDD pre and post surgery. This requires administering medicine, bladder expression, proper paraplegic mobility techniques, and intense rehabilitation. That being said, I am extremely committed to helping in whatever ways possible, which could also just mean giving your pup lots of love and cuddles! I can assure you that I am well equipped to take great care of your best friend! When they are in my care, I vow to treat them as my own and take their needs seriously. I am very patient, dedicated and understanding. My fiancé is also very helpful and we work as a team to care for the dogs. He is very experienced due to his family running a foster program and housing many dogs of different breeds, ages and behaviors. Since we work from home, your pet has constant supervision with us. We have grown to love and adore the pets we host. Now that I’ve been with Rover for quite some time, I can’t imagine my life without them. They bring me so much joy and happiness!
