I have a fenced in yard in a beautiful country setting and two playmates for your pup. Robin is 13 year old chocolate lab mix, who we rescued from the roadside. She gave birth to 8 puppies about 2 months later and we were able to find loving homes for them all. We also have Emmett, who is a shepherd/spaniel mix that we adopted as a puppy during covid. He can be shy around new people, but loves to play with any dog he has met.

Dover dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kirsten was very pleasant and knew what questions to ask when she watched my Stevie. One thing I really appreciated was that she asked if it was ok to feed her some chicken. I keep Stevie on a very healthy diet and try to keep her away from table scraps because she has a habit of begging, but that was a welcome addition to her food and a good treat for Stevie. She kept me well informed when I was away and sent me some photos to show me how happy she was. It was a worry free trip for my family while we were away. Thank you so much Kirsten!
Oliver spent a week with Kirsten and Jeff. They were great in providing daily updates and photos. Their home provided a wonderful fenced outdoor space where he could run and play. Kirsten was very amenable to drop-off and pick-up plans. We, including Oliver, are looking forward to his next stay with Kirsten and Jeff!
