I'm an enthusiastic dog lover! I enjoy playing with dogs, teaching dogs, and just being a part of their lives. I believe strongly in positive reinforcement and gentle but stern leadership. I've watched several dogs for my friends and family before I joined Rover, both overnight and for the day. My schedule is usually pretty flexible after noon, last minute cancellations don't bother me. If your dog would like a play date I can bring my dog along with me for some doggy interaction - but if your pup prefers people my girl will stay at home. I'm also more than happy to drop in on cats, birds, reptiles or other pets. Thanks for considering me! I'm always doting on my own dog, and caring for our parakeet, cockatiel and two ducks. It's a daily job but I love to do it! I follow all instructions given to me to the best of my ability. I'm respectful of your animals and home, and do my best to keep my clients at ease.
