As well as having our own miniature dachshund, I’ve grown up in a house of blind people where my parents have always had multiple guide dogs within the family. I have grown up looking after them, as well offering dogsitting and dog walking services to my neighbours since primary school age. I am heavily involved with charity work for assistance dogs and mobility training. Having guide dogs has come with a lot of extra benefits in the sense of having to be more aware of a dogs needs, as well as additional training on how to handle large dogs and be aware of their different commands and be alert to what a dog is asking for or implying. I am most confident and capable when looking after your furry friends, this includes being comfortable with larger breeds. I currently have a Dachshund and I have owned German Shepherds, Mastiffs, Retrievers and Labs growing up and my Rover experience has allowed me to gain a better understanding of different breeds that I may not have been familiar with before, so I can confidently say that now I have a secure understanding of how to care for your pets. I’ve also had cats all of my life so I am also very well aware of how to look after cats and have a good sense of what stimulation is required to keep happy and healthy pets.
