I have never been without a dog in my life. I also have taken care of countless pets for other people. Currently, I have a dog who does not do well at kennels so I understand that some pets require an intimate setting and one on one attention. One of the reasons why I joined Rover relates to my own experiences with pet sitters. The best sitters have a true love for all animals and respect for the client. I love to send pictures! No matter how many times you may need to check on your pet for peace of mind, I will be availiable by phone to assure that your pet isn't "just fed." My availability is plentiful At this time. I also do emergencies!
