Hello! Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile and considering me for taking care of your fur baby. I personally know how stressful it could be to trust someone to take care of your pet, but I can assure you, your pet will be in very good hands with me. (I paid a little extra to have Rover run an extended background check on me for my client’s peace of mind) I have a reputation with family and friends.......I LOVE DOGS! I take Bruno, my dog, for walks and to the dog park every day, it's good for him but I enjoy it just as much. Bruno is 9 YO, I trained him , he still has a lot of energy, he is a happy dog and also loves all dogs and that is one of the reasons I started doing Rover, and making some extra income of course, doing what I love. I have also done some volunteering for a local rescue organization. I am currently working from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I can be with your dog all day and night, except when I have to run errands, customer drop ins or walks (this is the only time your dog will be in a crate, as well as to sleep at night) which could be everyday, and it could take only a couple of hours or less, but only after his/her exercise. I have security cameras, and will check on him while I am away; I will provide you with videos and photos on a daily basis; when it comes for Drop-in visits, I am very respectful and honest person, and you will find everything the way you left it. I treat all dogs as if they were my own. I have actually boarded two family dogs as a favor, one for over two weeks and the other one for five days, Bruno was so happy to have them overnight. I had a Boxer named Rocky, for 14 years, he crossed the rainbow bridge on May 31st, 2009. I adopted him as well. I assure you that I have experience handling dogs, as long as they are friendly towards people and other dogs.
