The fairy dog mother

Pet care experience

My family gave me my first dog for my third birthday, we owned both cocker spaniels and border collies in our home. In the past I worked at a veterinary office as an assistant. I have always had a passion for animal care & health. Today I have a 4 year old female springer spaniel & I am a working professional in the medical field. As a side hobby I have invested time in participating as a dog sitter on Rover - I look forward to meeting your fur babies. I understand firsthand that it can be challenging to leave your pet's with responsible sitters! I hope to help ease some of this stress by being able to provide a reliable service to those in need.
