My family had our first dog family member in our lives when I was 11 (Black lab mix named Boss). I learned so much about caring for a puppy and building a routine around our new member that made me love dogs more than I thought I did before. Since then, I have had experience not only taking care of my own family dogs but my best friends and families dogs as well (see profile picture with Mr. Harvey, my puppy nephew and I). I have house sat for multiple weeks at a time as well as taken dogs on walks and to puppy park adventures. Dogs allow so much fulfillment in my life so if I am able to help current dog owners through Rover, I would be the happiest. I have experience with small and large dog breeds (mostly large..I love big dogs -- I have an English Mastiff -my sister Mona and a Rottweiler- my brother Diesel back at home). Whenever I go home not only do we get ample play time, but I go back to taking care of them and helping my family out as needed.
