Empty Nesting Pet Lover

We brought home our 1st puppy when our eldest daughter was 8 weeks old. Everything since then has been easy! Currently have an 8yr old Golden Retriever with a fenced in backyard. Each of our grown children took in a dog or puppy once they had their own homes. We have had cats, hamsters, fish, and guinea pigs over the years.

Schedule

I'm recently semi-retired and my daughters have used Rover for their dogs in far away states. I thought it would be a nice way to give our dog a playmate every once in a while.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a large fenced in yard which your dog can run around or hangout with our dog if they'd like. Our house is split level so there could be 6 stairs at time to go up & down. I love to walk our dog & listen to books or podcasts.

Pets

A typical day

We have lots of toys to play with, a yard to throw a ball or frisbee around. Phoebe, our golden retriever to horse around with. We can take walks in our neighborhood, or just sit outside & watch the squirrels and rabbits.

Typical things I'd like to know are - meal routines, status of bathroom timings, any medicines needed, typical activies in daytime, any injuries to be aware of. Preferences for taking walks (yes/no/length). Toys or treats they enjoy. Where they like to sleep. Anxieties like thunder, loud noises, children etc. And anything else you think is important.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
