Hello! My name is Santa A. and I am from the warm and sunny state of Arizona. This is my first time using Rover to be a sitter/walker, but by no means is this my first experience taking care of pets. Growing up, my family and I always had animals in the house. Whether it be dogs, cats, hamsters, or bunnies, I was thankful enough to have always been surrounded by animals. I used to be a volunteer in my hometown's humane society, where I would look over the animals, keep track of their food and water bowls, wash their dirty towels and washcloths, and keep the general space tidy for the animals. I have had a shih tzu for almost 13 years and a german shepherd for about 5. I also had 2 pitbulls and a cat. I love taking my dogs out for walks, playing with them outside, etc. When my german shepherd was growing up, I taught her how to sit and shake her paws. I care about animals as much as you and I want to be able to help those animal-lovers who have busy schedules, but still want the best for their furry friends.
