I grew up with the sweetest golden retriever, and absolutely adore dogs. I can't currently own a dog (landlord's rules) so I joined Rover out of my love of being around dogs. I'm extremely responsible and dependable, I'm easy to contact, and you can be sure I will pamper your dog with lots of hugs and comfort. As for me, I'm a 29-year-old public health professional, with a masters degree in international health. I'm originally from New York, and have lived in Seattle since 2016. I enjoy documentaries and travel - my most recent trip was to Tanzania. I always ask first before petting strangers' dogs (but I do ask nearly every stranger I see). I hope to meet you and your dog very soon!
