I love all animals, and grew up surrounded by wet noses and wagging tails. As a pet owner, I know exactly how I would want my dogs, Lucy and Charlie, to be cared for--I would want their sitter to treat them like a member of their own family. While growing up, I was surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, chickens, geese, fish, and almost any other animal you could think of so I have always had a passion for animals. I believe that animals are valued members of someone's family and will do everything I can to ensure a safe but fun time for your furry friend. I have an extremely flexible day job therefore I can generally accommodate my schedule around your family and friend/pet. Additionally, I have veterinarians in my family so any questions, concerns, or emergencies can be handled immediately / preemptively. From me, you can expect picture updates, diligent observation of any requests from you, and compassionate love for your dog. I joined Rover because I genuinely love being with animals and want to provide you with some peace of mind while you are away. I can't wait to meet your dog/ cat/ pet!
