I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with two dogs, which gave me early, hands-on experience caring for pets and understanding their needs. From daily walks and feeding schedules to playtime and companionship, I learned how important consistency, attention, and affection are in keeping dogs happy and well cared for. In college, I held a recurring dog-sitting role for a goldendoodle, where I was trusted to follow routines, provide reliable care, and ensure the dog felt comfortable and secure while the owner was away. That experience reinforced the importance of dependability and clear communication when caring for someone else’s pet. I’m on Rover because I miss having dogs in my life and enjoy the companionship they bring. I’m responsible, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own: showing up on time, following instructions closely, and providing a calm, caring presence you can trust.
