Dog rescuer and foster family turned dog sitter! We are true huge dog lovers and very knowledgable in all things DOG. I have been around dogs my entire life and have spent my whole adult life doing volunteer dog rescue, fostering, and serving on the board of our local all-breed rescue. Dogs are treated like family here and I am home almost all of the time with them. I have 2 sons who love and respect animals and have grown up with dogs all around them. We have a built in doggy door and a large backyard with a locked privacy fence. I had been doing this for many years prior to starting with Rover, and I even quit my beloved nursing career to take on dogsitting full time. Dogs have my heart. I believe there is nothing like a home environment and lots of love and spoiling when you have to leave your pets behind. I have all sizes of crates for any dogs needing crated, stainless steel food bowls, and all sorts of supplies, but you're welcome to bring your own if your dog prefers it that way. I'm very laid back and relaxed. Flexible with drop off and pick up times and do not charge extra fees for giving meds, treats, etc. My home is their home!
