I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life, from my childhood cocker spaniel who I helped out with in his younger energetic years and into his older, unfortunately more sickly years, to the current family sprocker who, while adorable and loyal, is particularly timid due to experiences prior to our adoption of him. Over the years I have dog sat for friends and family, caring for dogs similar to those that I've grown up with, but also those with extra needs in the form of anxiety and varied routines. While I hope to adopt a dog in the future, sadly at the moment I am not in a position to have a full-time pet, but would love the chance to be around, and care for animals in the meantime! So far through Rover I've had the opportunity to look after a variety of dogs (and some lovely cats) with different needs and requirements who you'll see scattered throughout the pictures on my profile and have loved spending time with all of them and getting the chance to explore more of the walkable local area in the process. I also volunteer with a local lost pet charity as a media and email admin, helping in efforts to reunite missing and lost pets with their families, and occasionally assisting with their stall at local events, such as the RSPCA dog show earlier this year.
