Took a long break from Rover due to some time abroad. Back because I wanted to spend some time again with my favorite four-legged friends! My work as a dog sitter began by chance as multiple friends noticed my ability to work well with dogs. At first, I was a part-time dog walker to an American Bulldog named Suess for a little over a year. After my client moved, I took a small break and began other work (teaching and grad school). In the past year, I had the pleasure of revisiting my passion by consistently house sitting for two friends of mine. Their dogs were a sweet Pitbull named Haven and a quirky French Mastif named Frank. The greatest feedback I received from my clients was my ability to create an organized schedule, while also providing solid discipline (as some were beginning to learn new rules) and fun for their dogs. By the end of my visits, their dogs became used to a routine and were also able to understand and respect boundaries. I am also a very active person who loves to hike and go for runs in the evening. If I have the pleasure of dog sitting over the weekend, I can guarantee a solid few hours of hiking and other forms of exercise outdoors :)
