We had a sweet, older dog when I was young, but in all my family has always been "cat people". So when I got older and had my own pets, I always ended up with cats. It wasn't until my mid-twenties, when I met many amazing dogs, that my love for dogs really blossomed and I began to want one of my own. I've been fortunate to live with and help care for a few of those great dogs over the past several years, but then six years ago I moved to LA. I'm so far away from all my favorite dogs. But luckily there are a ton of little cuties all over this city! I have been considering dog-walking or sitting since I moved here, and hearing such great things about Rover has finally made me go for it. I love to walk and hike and have always wanted to have a furry friend to enjoy the outdoors with. But if your dog is more of a snuggle-up-and-watch-a-movie kind of dog, I'm definitely qualified for that too! I have most experience with medium to small dogs, but I also LOVE pit bulls, shepherds and retrievers. Really, I love all animals, big and small. I just don't have any experience with giant dogs. I do work full-time, so dog-sitting is just an occasional way for me to meet new doggies (and their humans) and make some extra money on the side. I also am in school, and do some volunteer work. I stay busy, but I also love to relax at home and am more than happy to spend that time relaxing with your babies!
