Hi there! I am a veterinary student in my third year of education and I have ample knowledge on caring for animals. I have been using Rover for several years now, and prior to vet school I worked for four years in a 501(c)3 no-kill dog shelter in Miami, where I trained and socialized dogs who had either been owner surrenders or pups who were found by other good sams. I also co-founded an organization on my undergraduate campus called UPup, where we raised and trained CCI dogs into service dogs. I’m “fear-free” certified in animal handling and worked in both a small animal clinic and an emergency clinic for 4 years, and I grew up around horses so I love large animals too. Needless to say, I have a lot of experience working with under socialized animals and very socialized ones! My partner and I typically use Rover for I boarding only at this time in our home because he has a full time job and school requires me to be away from home for up to 4 hours at a time. We have one cat and a pup named Sunshine who we rescued in Alaska during our time up north, so we ask that your animals are socialized and friendly with other animals in order to make the most of their stay with us.
