I understand I'm new to Rover and I appreciate your interest and earning your trust as I care for your pet and build a relationship with you and your family. I've been in love with animals for as long as I can remember. From childhood through adulthood, I've rescued, cared for, and loved animals of all kinds, whether they're furry or feathered! Last year, our family said goodbye to our sweet Miniature Pinscher, River Girl, who blessed us with 18 wonderful years. She wasn't just a pet—she was family and brought us endless joy. Losing her left a space in my heart that I hope to fill by helping other families give their own beloved pets the same love, patience, and attention she always received. I understand that every animal has a unique personality. Some are energetic and playful, while others are shy, anxious, or even a little grumpy—and I genuinely enjoy earning their trust. I'm patient, compassionate, and experienced in administering medications, caring for senior pets, and making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. When your pet is in my care, I treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is receiving the same kindness, attention, and affection they would receive at home.
