I may be new to the Rover website, but I'm very experienced with taking care of animals. I've lived with 5 dogs, one of which I raised from 7 weeks, and 3 cats, so I've been around animals my entire life. I've also volunteered at the SPCA and Animal Control and always pet-sit for my friends whenever they have to go out of town. I've also started working at a doggie daycare on the weekends which has taught me a lot more about caring for dogs. I work Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm at my full-time job and usually work 7-8 hour shifts at doggie daycare on Saturdays and Sundays, so I'm currently unable to look after dogs that aren't used to being home alone for 8 hours. If my schedule works for you, I'd be more than happy to look after your dog while you're away! I can be somewhat flexible with my schedule, so feel free to ask if you have any questions.
