New to Rover! I got my first dog, a Golden Retriever named Tigger when I was 8. My first job was at my hometown’s veterinary clinic. I’ve been a veterinary assistant, shelter worker, and large volume doggy daycare and boarding facility worker. I treat your pups like my own (maybe a little extra spoiled!). I have plenty of experience with animal behavior and specific medical needs. I’m a full time pet sitter and do part time work gardening and planting, but am self employed so am never gone for longer than 3-4 hours, and many days am home full time. Whatever your dog is used to at home (being crated, being on the bed or couch, a certain blanket, feeding times) I will do here in my home to keep them feeling as cozy as possible. I give lots of individual attention and one on one time. There are baby pools in my fully fenced backyard for them to cool off in and I have a doggy door, so they can go in and out freely.
