Hello! I am an elementary school teacher looking to enjoy spending time with animals before returning to school. I have cared for animals as far back as I can remember. Even now, I have been able to pet-sit various furry critters for my friends and neighbors while they were away. I know the expectations I have had as a pet owner. I wanted my pooch to be provided with excellent care, attention and exercise to minimize the stress of family being away. That is my intent with Rover.com. Whether your dog is a puppy and needs boundaries and lots of exercise, an adult in need of a walk or diversion or an older pooch that may need to keep a routine or receive medication, I will do all I can to reduce the stress for the animal and the owner. Pets are part of our family and provide unconditional love and laughs. That makes caring for them my honor!
