I have raised dogs since I was a child, and done professional grooming for three years. I have competed with my own dogs in AKC shows; conformation, and agility events, and UKC conformation and obedience training. I served for serveral years as board member and president of a local dog club. Dog behavior is a big interest for me which is why I pursued Animal Science and Psychology degrees in college. I run several online discussion groups on the topic of dog behavior. I have a knack for understanding and relating to dogs from many years of study and experience. My personal dogs have included shelties and APBTs. Another interest of mine is helping lost pets get reunited with their owners. I do a lot of volunteer work with online lost pet networking. I am a very conscientious person when it comes to making sure pets are safe and well cared-for. Beginning in Spring 2018, my husband Seth is helping out at times if I need a hand with my Rover clients. He is a kind-hearted, mature and conscientious person who also drives the afternoon school bus for Groveland elementary kids who open enroll from the Wayzata and Hopkins area when he is not helping care for pets.
