Hello Dog and/or Cat Parents, Thanks for visiting my profile! I know you probably want to know a few things about me before we work together so here are the basics: Why care for pets? I decided to join the Rover Team to keep busy and make extra money during the government shutdown. This seemed like a no-brainer because of how much I enjoy being around animals and because of the experience I have working with them. What is my experience? I have 2 year old Australian Shepherd, Cappuccino, who I have cared for and trained since he was 8-weeks old. Before him, I cared for an trained my childhood dog, Blizzard, an American Eskimo/Spitz. I have also watched a few of my friends pets (cats and dogs) in the past. Do I have any special skills? Well, I am a very professional individual with excellent research and organization skills. These skills allow me to understand various breeds, identify behavioral cues, and ensure foods and medications are kept in order. Who am I? To keep it simple, I am an active, outdoorsy individual. You can ususually find me running through the city or hiking in the forest - always with my pup.
