Insta: champsdogsitting I’ve been a full time entrepreneur since my early teens and am a recent MSEd graduate. Dog sitting has been an amazing outlet for exercise and connecting with furry friends since my own dog recently crossed the rainbow bridge. - I didn’t grow up with dogs, but I adopted one as soon as I finished college and was ready for one. I had my senior rescue dog, Champ, for 3 years before he passed away. I’m a fast learner and Champ’s spunky attitude taught me a lot about patience and his multifaceted personality gave me unique experiences with dog ownership. After adopting him, he had to go through heartworm treatment and I had to keep him completely calm but entertained for two months. Otherwise, he was a wild and energetic dog who loves his ball. I have experience with senior dogs, dogs needing to be kept calm for heartworm treatment, doggy dementia, deafness, vision problems, and dogs with separation anxiety. Because I’ve had to look on Rover for sitters, I know how scary it can be to trust your baby with a stranger! My largest issue with Rovers has been poor communication - because of that, I seek to always be in communication with the owner for problems, questions, or fun updates! I provide 2-3 updates with photos daily and am available for questions any time during reasonable hours.
