I have grown up with dogs my whole life - as many as four at a time to as few as two. My family has always been a "dog family" so with this upbringing, I have grown to love and care for all dogs - pedigrees and mutts alike. My experience comes from looking after my own animals. From the very basic needs of taking them for walks, swims or to the park, to administering medications and ointments - I have done most of it! My dogs have had surgeries (torn ligaments, dental procedures etc) which required post-op care such as medications and physical therapy. I am also extremely responsible and reliable and will look after your animal like it is my own! When looking after your dog, you can rest assured that your pup will be in good hands. My wife initially joined rover to care for pets in her spare time whilst in SF (she is a flight attendant). I would join her on the walks and loved the time we would get to spend with all the dogs. I decided that its time I join the Rover team and spread the love. Not being allowed pets of any kind in my apartment, Rover seemed like the perfect avenue to spend some quality time with animals.
