Hi! I've been a dog owner for most of my life, in addition to taking care of others' pets. I'm new to being active on Rover, but I am experienced with large dogs, high-energy dogs, quirky dogs, hyper-friendly dogs, and everything in between. I'm comfortable working with the whole age range, from puppies still in the midst of house training to older dogs needing special attention. I love animals, and I'll make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and healthy - my philosophy is "safety first." I'm a recent college graduate currently working on my second novel before attending grad school, and have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I aim to meet your and your family's needs and expectations to the best of my ability, and I can't wait to meet you and your pets!
