I work for the federal government so in addition to Rover's background check, I've also been through an even more intensive background check for my job. I would prefer to take care of your pet(s) at your home bc animals are more comfortable in their own environment, but I also do drop in visits as well. Animals give me joy, and are the best way to make any day better. I will care for your pet as if they are my own bc that's what I expect for my baby:) I will never put your dog in danger, stick with strict dietary requirements, or any other rules you have for them. I do not smoke, and have reliable transportation. I do like to take an insane amount of photos with your pet doing cute things and will probably text you those photos for fun and peace of mind. I have no problems house-sitting as well, and am willing to do extra around the house, and keep it tidy. **Note on rates: these are for a 24 hour period. If you will be more than 2 hours above and beyond the 24 hours, please let me know ahead of time to discuss pro-rated amounts. It is imperative that you fill in the times when booking so I can plan accordingly.
