I signed up to be a Rover walker because I love to walk and play with dogs of all sizes and personalities! While I don't have a yard, I live near Target on South Hill right near a walking path I often run on and that's where I'll take your dog(s) for walks/runs. I often go hiking in the parks around the city such as Dishman Hills and Riverside State Park which I may also elect to bring your dog to. Experience: Growing up, I had two German Shepherds and two cats until they all eventually grew old and passed away. Being the oldest of three boys in my family, I took the brunt of caring for our pets. As far as meeting my friends' and extended family members' pets in the past, I have never had any issues to include dog sitting several times. The longest I've ever cared for a friend's dog was just over a week.
