How many dogs/critters do you have as your maximum?

We have 2 or our own dogs and 1 cat. We will take approx 4 Rover dogs. It does depend on if they are all from the same family, the owners comfort level and the pups personalities as well.

My husband and I have one adult dog and one puppy. We generally take up to two dogs (no other critters), but we sometimes make an exception and take in a third dog for a total of five. We base our limit on local limitations on how many dogs you can board before having to apply for a kennel license.

I have 2 dogs of my own, but there are other dogs in the house who share the yard. I take in foster dogs from a rescue as well. So I try very hard to limit taking in no more than 2 Rover dogs. I do not have a big house, but the yard is plenty big. Summer months give me more time outside for the dogs, so I can relax the limit a bit. But during the winter, when we are inside more, I stick to my limit.

I have one dog. I also routinely watch my brothers dog. Since I know them so well, I consider myself able to watch up to 3 other clients at a time as I am currently in an apartment. Once I move to a bigger place with a yard, I will most likely accept more. You have to do what you feel comfortable with and make sure you only do what you can handle. Trying not to overbook is a very conscious process but helpful for clients, repeat clients, you, and most of all any current pets you already have!

I have two dogs of my own, and a tiny aquatic turtle. I take up to two Rover dogs at a time. The maximum number of dogs I've had in the house at once is five: my two and three guests. If they're repeat clients I won't sweat a day of overlap or so, but my apartment is just too small to be taking that many dogs in regularly. I'm perfectly content keeping it to one guest at a time most of the time. I would not be opposed to attending to other animals, but since I'm a boarder, the opportunity has not come up.

I don't currently own a dog, and I have a limit of one dog at a time. If there are multiple dogs from the same family, I will take all of them, but not multiple dogs from different owners. Being single, I just don't feel comfortable being able to handle multiple dogs together who are strangers. As far as other critters, I will not take cats because of allergies, and I haven't been asked to take anything else, so it would depend on the type of critter.

Hi everyone! I also have a limit of two dogs. I try not to mix different pet families, but it's getting increasingly harder because most of my clients are now repeat clients (I am NOT complaining)! :) I've made a rule that I will mix different dog families, as long as one of the dogs is a repeat client. This way, I know the temperament of at least one of the dogs. I decided to never mix two new clients. It is so hard to tell a repeat client that I am booked. I always feel horrible about turning them away, so I do my best to accommodate my clients any way that I possibly can. That means, sometimes I end up watching five or six dogs at a time. As long as the dogs are compatible, I'm ok with it because I can help ease my client's mind. I don't like to use the word "clients" though. I feel with each new stay, my extended family grows. :)

My max is 6, but with all my regular customers I find my self with 12 dogs a lot. When I get to about 10 dogs I start turning customers away. I feel terrible doing that but I need to be safety minded and care about my neighbors. Usually once someone has been turned away they will stat to plan ahead and book in advance.
