Growing up I owned an adorable Beagle for fifteen years. I was the primary caretaker and loved taking her on long walks around the neighborhood, into the outdoors, and snuggling with her inside. Though I was very sad when it was her time to pass, I've been enjoying dog sitting for friends and falling in love with their dogs. I've been enjoying this casual side-work so much that I'm starting a Rover account to do more! Currently, I'm a graduate student on winter break. My timing is quite flexible and I'd love to take care of your pup! I'm attentive to different dog personalities and have taken care of dogs of all sizes and social behaviors. I find that even the most anxious of dogs can respond to a calm demeanor and gentle guidance.
