Following in my older sister's footsteps, I've been taking care of many of my neighbors pets since I was about eight. My family has owned dogs my whole life and because of that, I feel I have a deep and genuine love for animals. When I was in middle and high school, I'd dog walk and dog sit on my own, but now that companies like Rover exist, I'm excited to get back to taking care of animals to help make some income on the side. Any time while I'm out walking through my neighborhood and happen to run into someone walking their dog, getting to say hello and play with their dog for a minute or so, is quite often one of my favorite parts of my day.
