Hey: My name is Katherine. We have a small dog and her name is Lola, we consider her to be a part of our family. We live in a very pet friendly environment. I know how horrible it is not having peace of mind about when you are leaving your best friend for business or vacation. I have been there and I know how it feels when we are away from home. One time we left Lola at a location that did not look or feel like home. I was sad as I imagined how she felt about it. That is why I am doing Rover as I know it is nice to find someone to take care of your loved ones when you are away. With my experience I believe I can be a great caretaker for your puppy when you are in need. Hope to see your best friend soon. Have a great day.
