The more an owner can put down in the "care instructions" portion of their dog's Rover profile, the more comfortable I feel. Here are some typical questions I will ask of a dog owner during a meet and greet: -Do they get along with other dogs? (most important b/c I have a dog) -Have you left them with someone before when you have traveled? -Do they have a regular feeding & bathroom schedule? -Are they prone to bolting or trying to escape? -What is their usual routine during the day? -Do they get aggressive or protective over food? -Do they chew or gnaw on things other than dog toys? -Do they have a favorite toy? -Any types of toys that are off limits? -Are they allowed on the furniture? -Do they use a crate? -Are there specific things that can trigger anxiety and/or accidents? -Do they bark at noises/strangers?

Here's where we'll take our walks My neighborhood is very quiet and residential. There are a lot of good trails and stairwells that provide quite a bit of incline on walks. There are also several small dog parks near by. Your dog's sleeping arrangement My dog, Charlie, sleeps in my bed. I am happy to have your dog on my bed as well, but will cater to whatever method works best for you at your home. I understand that every owner has different training regiments for their dogs when it comes to where they sleep. Time I'll spend with your dog I work during the week (9am-6pm), so my availability to play with your dog would be outside those hours. However, my house is very pet friendly and my dog, Charlie, stays inside most days while I am at work. On the weekends, I will be able to play with your dog around the clock.
