I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I am an animal lover in general but especially dogs. I love the idea of taking care of someone’s treasure as I know how hard it is when you have to be separated and worry about them. I have a lot of space in my house and I work full time from home. In case you are wondering why I don’t have a dog now, I did not have the heart to get a new dog when my pepper passed away and at the time I was also working far from home so any new little one would have been alone way too long. I don’t think I have special skills that make me a better choice but I am very loving and dogs (cats-whatever animal) deserve to be loved and held and treated just as well as if they were home with their families. **Since I joined Rover last year, I've met some amazing, dogs (and cats) and not one breed the same! Now that I have more experience with different breeds, I've learned that no matter what kind of dog you take care of, or how anxious they are initially when they meet you....with lot's of devoted attention and love they feel right at home.
