I believe that dogs -- well, animals in general -- are the most innocent, compassionate beings on this earth. I find that they are loving, loyal, and simply want the same in return. And there’s nothing that can compare to the unconditional love a dog gives! The way their tails wag uncontrollably, their big smiles that welcome you home, or their sloppy hugs and kisses that greet you when you walk in the door are absolutely priceless. The pure happiness that a dog can provide is why I like to work with Rover. My own pup passed away a couple years ago and since then I haven't been able to get another dog of my own, so helping care for other’s pets give me experience of the pure happiness only a dog can give. I grew up with dogs. I raised my rescue, Princess, from the time she was 3 months old until she reached 11 years. My older brother volunteered at a rescue and I assisted him with foster puppies until they were old enough to go to adoptions. I have experience with all types of breeds and sizes, from TeaCup Yorkies to Pitbulls. I also have experience with rescue dogs who have experienced some sort of trauma like abuse, separation anxiety, neglect and the like. I am natural at providing customer service to my clients and their fur-babies. I would treat and care for your pup as if they were my own and the Rover app is also great for keeping you updated on how your pet is doing! I want to ensure you that I will keep your pup on their routine and stay on track with feedings, medications and potty times. I have a flexible schedule so there’s plenty of time to hit the hiking trails, dog park or beach. We would also have playtime with their favorites toys or just walk around the neighborhood and play in the backyard. In our downtime, we’ll snuggle on the couch and have movie night. Your pup will receive plenty of attention, belly rubs, cuddles and treats!
