I've been an avid dog-lover since I was a child. We had 3 when I was young (2 mutts and a black lab), but my dad developed allergies over time. Still wanting to be around dogs, I took up pet-sitting and walking for family friends growing up. I joined Rover so that I can get the chance to play with puppies young & old. As I already love to go on walks out by the park, I figured what better way than to bring along a four-legged friend. Safety and the right care for your pet is very important to me. Please let me know of any health issues, triggers/things to avoid, and preferences for your dog ahead of time. Looking forward to meeting you both!
