I've always grown up with dogs.... I would really like to buy or rescue a dog for myself but Rover seems like the perfect fit! I have a 5 year old daughter who also loves the pups! I think that helping with dog sitting is a great way to teach her responsibility :) we have a miniature daschund at home who loves to play with other dogs! We have an awesome sidewalk that goes around the entire neighborhood for long walks! I work full time during the day but my roommate is home during the day to help with mid day walks. Anything else you would like to know... just ask! I'm not too sure how I would differ or set myself apart from other sitters on Rover, but I can tell you that I will adore your pet and give them all the love and attentions they need!
