I grew up with dogs. My parents had two dogs when I was a toddler and later on they got Sparky when I was 7 years old. Sparky is a little Terrier mix and is living out his golden years with my parents and about a year ago, my parents got a puppy while I was home from college for the summer. Her name is Bella and she's a Mini-Poodle/Coton du Tulear (Poo-Ton). While I was home for the summer, I took care of little Bella and Sparky and that experience makes me very excited to work with RoverGO to meet more dogs and their people! I love dogs because of how loving they can be. I’m also the type of person that gravitates toward a dog at a party or I’m definitely someone who asks if I can pet your pup at the park. Dogs are such great buddies and being around one automatically makes the day better. I'm becoming a sitter because I want to care for dogs. Since I currently can’t have my own dog, I thought that I would help other people care for their dogs instead. In my free time I like to go hiking and I would love to have a hiking buddy! I also spend time doing some photography and going to the beach. I would love to take your dog to a dog-friendly beach and snap a few photos! I love spending my time exploring hiking trails and the beach, so if your pup like to take longer walks, we can spend some time there too!
