Until I moved away to go to college I had never had less than 4 dogs around me at all time. Growing up on a farm has enabled my Rover career to take off by making me bond quickly with new dogs and instinctively know what they need... when they need it. I have worked with a range of large dogs (german shephards) to small dogs (rat terriers) and all cats- do not have a preference. My first job to understand your dog's or cats temperament and needs, then fit my exercise/care plan around him or her. If you have a rescue, first of all thank you! Secondly, no stress, my parents and I have rescued dogs for many years and I know how to intro slowly and smoothly. If you've had a long day and want me to wear out your pup, send me in! I love companion running and will even bring my bike to wear your sweet ball of energy out =) Additional questions are always welcomed!
