I've grown up with all kinds of animals. Dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, turtles, gerbils, horses, goats, you name it! As an extremely attuned, observant, compassionate and loving individual, I have a huge soft spot for animals. I know how important your pet is because I have grown up having had to say goodbye to mine. I also have almost lost my present cat. He is 10 years old and I have raised him since he was 8 weeks. We have moved internationally and cross country multiple times, and he has gone through an emergency surgery as well as dental surgery. With these challenges, I truly understand the responsibility, love and commitment being a pet owner requires! I also believe that our animals choose us, just as much as we choose them. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your fur baby, they are our companions! Rest assured, I treat your pet as I do mine -- with the utmost patience, love and attention they deserve. I am about quality, not quantity. The quality of a visit, I believe (as well as the quality of ones life) is what matters most. Though this is my first time as a Rover sitter, I have over 6 years of experience caretaking for my friends and neighbors pets. With my love for animals coupled with having a flexible schedule due to working from home, I wanted to become a Rover sitter. I hope you would allow me the honor to check in on, play with and love your pet while you're away!
