Growing up, my home was always full of animals so I learned early on how to be attentive to different needs, behaviors, and personalities. My grandma played a big role in shaping my love for animals. She used to care for the neighborhood cats and regularly fed the birds which I always loved helping her. That experience taught me compassion and the importance of looking out for animals, even those without homes. Over the years, I’ve also helped foster pets and took in my first injured cat, which gave me hands-on experience being patient, gentle, and attentive to animals that need extra care and comfort. While I’m newer to Rover professionally, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy making sure they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of!
