I am a teacher with Minneapolis Public Schools and care about animals as much as I do children. I have been around animals my whole life and know how important they are to every family. I grew up with a dog that we got when I was in Kindergarten and she passed away while I was in college. She was a lovable 16 year old weimaraner. I watched dogs and cats for many different families off and on through college and have continued to do so through Rover for some additional funds to help with my college loan debt. Since I do not currently have a dog of my own, I enjoy keeping your companions company in your home, where they feel most comfortable. I work at sticking with your usual routine as much as possible (feeding times, walks, etc). I also have watched many cats and some rabbits! Contact me for more information! *Also please note, I keep my Rover calendar fairly closed during the school year due to unpredictable times of stress and busy schedules as a teacher. Please feel free to send me a message or request and I will let you know if I am able to open my books for you (I usually try to!). This is especially true for my previous clients! Don't be afraid to reach out! *My partner, Jeff, has often stayed with me at clients' houses to help out occasionally and be additional company for pets (always with client permission of course). Dogsitting is our way of being responsible dog-lovers, by not getting one of our own yet. Please let me know if you'd like to meet him as well or if your animals do not appreciate male presence.
