I'm a grad student at UCLA and I'd love to watch your pet! In Seattle, my former city, I had the privilege of dog sitting through Rover for two years. I took pride in giving families the peace of mind that their pets received the same care and attention as if their families were home. I've lived with family dogs since I was a child: one was an anxious, blind senior Cocker Spaniel and the other a smart, energetic Labrador who mellowed out in her senior years. I've also watched my parents' current Labrador puppy who benefits from routine, playtime and walks. Neighbors and friends have trusted me with their dogs for dogsitting and walking. I lived for two years in Cairo, Egypt, where I befriended street dogs who were afraid of people and also helped walk my friend's pet dog, which involved protecting him from the street dogs who were defensive of their territory. I'm forever a dog person, but in Egypt I rescued a kitten who gave me four wonderful years of cat parenthood before passing away from cancer in 2025. I've also had guinea pigs in the past and am familiar with keeping pet rodents healthy.
