Dogs are joy! I am a glass artist by profession, and an animal lover since birth. That's where Rover.com comes in! What better way to keep joy in my life than to fill it with art and animals? I have had dogs all of my life, and I love them so much. Nothing would be the same without them.They bring so much meaning, comfort, and happiness! When I was young, I did a lot of dog training, and later agility training. Now I enjoy spoiling my dog Murphy, and helping other people with their animals, too. Believe me: I understand the importance of being able to really trust the person who cares for your "kids." Do they like dog parks? Walks? Hikes? Playing ball? Tug-o-war? Would you like your dog to learn a new trick? I'd be happy to help! I do a lot of dog/cat/house sitting, and can provide many references. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friends! Because my elderly parents and I live in the same house, I am unable to take your pooch in, but I am more than happy to take care of him or her in your home. I'm also available for walks, visits, or training sessions.
