I've always enjoyed dogs and, alas, I can't have one in my apartment. What better way to hang out with them than by working with Rover! I'm enthusiastic, energetic, and eager to give the time and efforts your dog(s) so richly deserve. I've had pets in the past, including a blind albino ferret, several gerbils, mice, rats, hamsters, etc. When I was growing up I had a dalmatian named Trixie. Whe I was born she was a puppy so we grew up together. In fact, we shared the same play pen for quite awhile. I don't know how safe that was, in retrospect, but mom seemed to know what she was doing. Since then, I've always enjoyed my friends' pets and have enjoyed their company.
