Four years ago I was living 2 blocks from the beach living a perfect life, then I got the call that my mother was in trouble. So I’ve moved in with her and I’ve got her in really good shape. Down 40 pounds, off the walker and into social clubs. Now I can get out and do other things but still be close enough should she need me. I'm an owner and a yoga instructor, so adding dog walker and house-sitter seems a natural easy fit. Caring for my aging mother, so being able to get away, but not to far away is essential to my health and well being. I take good care of myself, my mother and my sons dog Cyrus. I have a lot of free time as I only teach 4 classes of yoga per week on Tues & Thursday's. Hence why I thought I would sign up for Rover. I hope to meet you soon. The dogs I care for and walk become a part of my family. When they see me or if you mention my name they get excited. I'll talk to them like I talk to my own. I love to lay around with them, have them do their tricks, maybe play catch with a ball if that's allowed. Basically treat them like they were my own. Fall in love. If they need grooming I'd be happy to give them a good brushing. Does your dog like to play with the hose? Or maybe you have a pool we can both go goof around in when it's hot? The possibilities are endless really. I love hanging with a dog, what can I say. Must love dogs is my motto.
