We have never been without a dog since married. We are set up with fenced area and ability to separate if necessary. I am retired so unless out of town always available. I am retired available to board, house sit drop in or daycare. We love rover and use it when we are away. We have two elderly sweet dogs that get along with others. We do have home set up to separate if needed. I have fenced in area. Can separate if needed, never leave alone in separate area. Dogs are family.
