I cared for my dachshund Chili for 16 years before he passed away, and saw him through a range of health conditions and all of the age categories that require different types of care. My dog meant everything to me and deserved the best - I know what it's like to expect that as an owner and will do the same for your pet. I'm attentive to changes, will never take risks, and will be quick to act if necessary. I currently have my own medium-sized dog who we're training to be less reactive, so I understand having the occasional surprise during walks. I've worked in petting zoos and wildlife rehab centers, and I've been taught to handle everything from alligators to horses. Nothing phases me! Someday, I hope to run a nonprofit that provides mental health services while caring for rescued animals including dogs, and Rover will be a great experience.
