Newfound love of dogs
Pet care experience
After working in a pub for a few years that allowed dogs in, I have discovered that I love dogs, when I always thought that I was a cat person. I was surprised that I was really happy to see some dogs that came in regularly with their owners and looked forward to seeing them both. Following this, I have dog and cat sit for some friends of mine who had to be away quite a lot, meaning I got the chance to spend a good few weeks with their pets, which I really enjoyed. Having also volunteered on a farm for about a year, I love being around animals, and hadn't actually realised how much I enjoyed this. Hence applying to Rover. In the past, have shared many a house with people who have cats, and I love being around cats too. My current landlady has not given permission for me to have a pet, otherwise I would have my own greyhound by now. The photos on my profile are of Tyson (the dog) chilling out after a long walk, and Charlie (the cat) watching me brush my teeth. Whilst dog and cat sitting I was required to administer tablets for one of the dogs, once a day, as well as a topical cream to rub onto it's tummy. I walked them twice per day, and if I was out that day, where possible, came back to let them out as frequently as I could. Where possible, I aim to find different routes to give the dogs some variety, as well as discovering new routes myself.

Information Joanne L. would like to know about your pet
I love Collies especially, and greyhounds/saluki's or that family of dog breed. However, would consider most types of dog as it's interesting to meet new ones.
A typical day
As much as possible in grassy areas, along the canal if possible, open fields and places where it's possible to let them off the lead, dependent on the dog itself. I usually take a tennis ball to throw, with a catcher (and lots of doggy bags as well!)
