Hi there! I'm brand new to Rover... However, I am excited and looking forward to new experiences! My family has always had dogs around, and in a range of different sizes and breeds. As well as cats and other small animals. I am an avid animal lover and currently have a dog of my own who is treated like my child. His name is Cooper and he is a border collie mix and is about 2 1/2 years old. He is very smart, friendly and lots of fun! We both traveled here from Canada about 8 months ago, when I decided to move for a job opportunity. I have a pretty flexible schedule which allows for a lot of free time during the day and weekends to hangout and care for your dog (pets).
