I have lots of toys and a nice back yard for dogs to run and play in. They are allowed on my furniture to nap, sit and cuddle. I also have a couple of dog beds. I am home most of the time right now as I recently had foot surgery, but am capable of dog care accepts walks at this time.

Pet care experience

I have been working with rover since June 2017. I absolutely love what I do. I enjoy my current clients so much and miss them when I’m not around. I also enjoy meeting new friends. I am reliable, dependable and responsible which is what you want when leaving your animals in someone else’s care. Family and friends can be great, but do they have the qualities of a professional.? I require meet and greets for all new clients to make sure we are a good fit. Especially if you are bringing your dog to my house. I have a 13 year old yorkie mix and need to make sure they get along. Unfortunately, if you have a larger, dark colored dog my dog seems to be afraid of them. Most light colored large dogs and most smaller dogs are ok. I can’t wait to meet you!
