I am from Barbados where I lived for 14 years. My household always had cats and dogs, about 5 dogs and 6 cats. When my family and I had to move to DC 8 years ago unfortunately we could not bring all our animals, especially with such a difference in weather. We gave our dogs to a neighbor with young kids and they love it. However, I do miss them all the time and that is why I joined Rover. I heard this is a great way to spend time with animals and enjoy their company. I am also a very active and energetic person so I love to go out for walks and jogs, so what better way then to do it with a furry friend. I live in Chelsea where there are many dog parks nearby.
