I have loved dogs and animals of all kinds my whole life. I was lucky enough to grow up with dogs (Golden Retrievers), cats (adopted strays), a few birds, some hamsters, and fish. My previous two companions were Australian Cattle Dogs, adopted from local shelters. They are very intelligent, fiercely loyal, and high energy. Intense dogs! But they were so, so special. My current doggo is an American Staffordshire Terrier. She is also a rescue, as she showed up at my front door one morning and (thankfully) never left. She is a very well-loved and treasured member of our family. That’s the way should dogs be treated, and how your dog will be treated when they are here. Like family. Dogs give so much and ask for nothing (well, maybe some bacon) in return. They are so pure hearted! I am experienced with many different breeds and personality types. I regularly dog-sit for neighbors, friends and family and I thought Rover would be a great way to meet other folks in need of dog care. I know that when I am away from home that finding someone to care for my dog is the most stressful thing! I would be honored to take care of your family member like they are my own.
