I love ALL animals - from the wild ones to our home pets. I have a big heart and love to engage and talk with the pets I care for. I have been around animals all of my life and have cared for others' pets for the last 5 years, so I know a variety of types and personalities and how to keep them happy. I am an active person in all sorts of weather and if they are up for it, make sure my pets get fresh air and exercise. I am practical in nature, so cleaning, providing meds, and feeding is easy for me. My Rover availability is very flexible and accommodating, so I can meet your needs during the work day, partial days, for your vacation times, and special needs. My home setting is full of green space, national forest, trails, small streams, and friendly people. I live in a neighborhood where there are other dogs, if your dog would like interaction/play time. My front yard is a large, grassy park. My home space is easy-going and casual. I have a front porch that can be closed for additional sunning, rest, and fresh air time. There are just two adults in my house, and while I will be the primary care giver, Jim will give more interaction, care, and fun.
