I’m retired so I’m home full time. I’ve been an animal lover all my life, have had a variety of pets but mostly dogs. Years ago I used to board my dogs at a kennel. I always dreaded having to drop them off knowing it was never like home. It wasn’t until I discovered Rover that I knew what a difference it makes having them in their own home or someone else’s. Knowing that they get more attention and aren’t confined to a small space with limited outdoor time made all the difference. I provide walks, attention, and care along with treating your pet like I would mine. If you just need me to check on your pets while your away I will follow your instructions and insure they’re met. You can go away and not feel guilty or worry. Some of my most rewarding experiences have been with animals. When I owned a Welsh Corgi several years ago I went through the Humane Society Pet VIP program and we went to assisted living facilities. I volunteer with TROT of Tucson which is an organization that provides equine therapy to adults and children with various disabilities. Lastly I was a docent at Reid Park Zoo and after an extensive training program learned all aspects of how the zoo functions on a daily basis as well as becoming knowledgeable about the animals. All of these organizations have confirmed to me about the special bond between animals and humans.
