Highlights
Pet care experience
Fan of belly rubs and butt scratch
I have dog sat on and off for many years (maybe 10) mostly for friends and family, and occasionally cared for cats, but am new to Rover. I have grown up with dogs and have a deep love of them. I am comfortable with any breed, temperament and behavior permitting. I am also comfortable administering most forms of medication. I love getting dogs outside onto trails and exploring creeks (my dogs favorite things to do). I’m a graduate student who has lots of flexibility and works from home most of the time, providing flexibility and near constant supervision. Under most circumstances, I never have to be away for more than 3 hours. I watch over other peoples dogs like I care for my own. I provide frequent photo and text updates for peace of mind. Tell your dog I said hi.

Safety, trust & environment
I have an unfenced yard (working on fencing it), but take the highest priority of ensuring dogs are safely secured in their harness or collar when going outside. Life inside is pretty normal, the occasional playtime, sleeping around, relaxing. Im no professional dog trainer, but would say I have a very self taught, well behaved dog, and as such enjoy trying of some training with dogs I watch. My dog, Maple, a two year old golden retriever is very welcoming and friendly to new dogs and loves to play with them.

Schedule
I am a graduate student, meaning I take few classes and primarily work from home. I am generally very flexible and available most times everyday. At the very most, I may be away from home for 3 hours at a time. Ultimately, I am more open and flexible than not.
