My dog is restricted to the main floor of the house during the day and has access to food, water, and enrichment opportunities while I am at work. When home he is free to roam the home and is treated like another member of the family. My home does not have a fenced in yard and as I am renting, I do not have the ability to care for animals overnight in my home. However, when entering others homes I carry the same mentality as when I am camping, hunting, or fishing: Leave No Trace. Rover is an opportunity for me to assist others in pet care and being trustworthy is one of those principles of this type of work. My career as a Mental Health Professional makes me value and honor individuals’ homes, privacy, and the vulnerability that is given by requesting Rover services. Unless I am hired to spend time within the home, I will do everything I can to make my coming/goings as scarce and least disruptive as possible. I pride myself on transparent communication about pick-up’s, returns, my arrival, my departure, and what (if anything) was utilized or needed to be cleaned up.
