From being a dog owner for most of my life, as well as spending free weekends volunteering for animal shelters and pet sitting for neighbors, I have had extensive experience that has been informative and rewarding. As I've been missing my family dogs who live in Denver (two Bichons and one toy poodle), I've decided to begin working for Rover mostly to have more regular contact with animals. I strongly believe in taking dogs on frequent walks, giving affection and affirmation, and paying close attention to a dog's actions and behaviors in order to watch their health and well being. I'm typically available in the mornings before 2pm and at night after 7:30 pm on Mondays—Thursdays and am free all-day Fridays-Sundays. I live in Brooklyn but work part-time in Manhattan in the Greenwich Village area.
