Who provides the dogs food?
I just started with Rover. Had my first meet and greet. It went well...
So...do I provide the dog food? Or does the dog owner???? Anything else I should be thinking of to ask????

Owners definitely need to provide all food, meds, a leash and anything else they think their dog may need. Just before the stay, I send a note to the owner with a list of things they must bring and others that are optional. I supply poop bags and have extra bowls and beds and lots of toys, but tell owners if their dog has a special affinity for an item, then bring it. Also, if the dog might be a little anxious away from home, then they should bring a used T-shirt (or anything with their scent) that I'll put in the dog's bed to make him feel a bit more at home.
The owner provides food and everything else the dog needs for the stay. But I keep extras of everything in case the owner forgets something. I also use Amazon Now which delivers within 2 hours. And during and after Hurricane Irma I had potable water thanks to my Berkey water filter. You should have your own poop bags, towels, brushes -- owners will rarely bring these. Welcome !
The owner usually provides the food during my bookings...if you'd like to purchase the food though I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
Thank you all. Your feedback was very helpful!!
