I grew up around dogs and have always had one. I also frequently dog and house sat throughout junior high and highschool. I love all animals, especially dogs. I decided to join Rover as a way to not only help others out with caring for the pets (more like best friends), but also as a way to enjoy time with dogs again, as my family dog lives in upstate NY. I'm very caring, patient, compassionate and fun. I'll play outside or in. Take your dog for walks or on car rides. My apartment building is a dog-friendly place. We even have a dog park at our facility. Another added bonus if your dog is social! I will follow your outlined requests and rules in order to make sure your dog is comfortable and happy. Anything that I can do to ensure for the well-being of your dog while they are staying with me or me with them, I will do.
