I grew up always having dogs and cats, as well as the occasional hamster, and taking care of these animals has always brought me a special kind of joy. I have also volunteered at the Orange County SPCA walking the dogs that are up for adoption to help them release some energy, have a little fun, and socialize. I am currently a UNC student, so I unfortunately don't have any furry friends of my own. I joined Rover so that I could have the opportunity to care for your dogs with the same love and compassion that I would if they were my own. Being a college student, I have an incredibly flexible schedule and I am home for a large portion of the day. I love being active and spending time outside and live in a neighborhood that is great for walks, and in close proximity to plenty of parks!
