Vet Tech, Dog Trainer, Dog Owner

Pet care experience

I am currently a vet technician in the north suburbs and a student at Northeastern Illinois University in my final semester for a bachelors in Biology. I have past experience as a dog trainer and have been a technician for 5 years. I grew up with dogs and have pet sit for family and friends so I truly understand they are part of the family. I have years of experience with canines in all different settings. I am great at reading canine behavior and have worked with all breeds. My years of experience in veterinary medicine as well as being a dog owner provide me with the ability to take care of all of your pets needs and to recognize and resolve any problem that may arise. I am on rover because I am looking for extra income while I am in school because I am not able to work as many hours I would like to as a vet technician due to my class schedule.

We were confident leaving Russell in charge of our house and pets while we were gone for an extended period of time. He was very responsive to communications and with his background he was the right person to have around when Elwood had some unscheduled seizures. He left the house is great shape. Honestly surprised to find the sheets in the wash and the vacuum run. We would definitely recommend him to anyone that was in need of sitting services.

Russell proves to be a skilled vet technician and dog trainer. I have a small, overweight papillon who is very fearful of men and overall has a lot of anxiety. Through immense patience and a fearless, friendly approach Russell gained his trust surprisingly quick. He is the only person I have trusted worry free with my baby O for an extended amount of time!

Information Russell P. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I am okay working with aggressive or fearful animals and can approach them calmly. I am great at gaining the trust of a fearful canine. I would like to know the dog's general routine and any abnormal behaviors before sitting him or her.

A typical day

Neighborhood roads, preferably with sidewalks, or walks through parks. Every dog has their own favorite activities so I am open to anything (throwing tennis balls, kicking a soccer ball, frisbee, jogging).
