Hi My name is Linda, I love animals that is why Rover is appealing to me. I live on 13 acres in Lexington KY. I have always had animals currently, I have 4 dogs and 2 cats that all live in the house. I believe animals mind you because they love you and want approval, not out of fear of you. I know its hard to leave them for work and vacations but when you have someone you trust it makes it easier. I am very kind and loving, Your animals will know as soon as they meet me it seems all animals know when they meet good people. I also have had birds in the past and I loved them too. Thank you for your interest Linda
