Leading the Dog Jog Pack
The Owner/Dog Runner
My name is Jen Rock-Buslepp and I am the owner of Dogs Who Jog LLC. I was inspired to start a dog running company due to the fact that I run with my 2 Australian Shepherds. At times it is tough to schedule adequate play time throughout the work week, and running is something that not only helps to release energy physically but is something that has been mentally stimulating for our dogs. While our dogs also enjoy a nice leisurely walk through the park, we find that nothing satisfies them more than running in full stride.
So, how am I qualified to take your dog out for a run? I have over 6 years of experience running with my own dogs and have been running with Dogs Who Jog clients since September of 2018. I gained experience running with dogs of various sizes and personalities while volunteering at the Humane Society of Macomb. In the summer of 2019, I began volunteering to run with dogs at the shelter who have increased stress and energy. If you follow our Instagram account (@dogswhojog) we post #rescuerunfriday to highlight dogs from the Humane Society who are a part of the running program and available for adoption. I began running in High School, competed for Loyola University of Chicago & Wayne State University's Track & Cross Country teams, and concluded my competitive running career after running two years post-collegiately with the Hansons-Brooks team.
Whether your dog is new to running, an experienced runner, a leash puller, an energetic doggo, or prefers to walk: I have experience working with all different breeds & personalities and would love to develop a plan to meet the needs of your pup!
