My husband and I are dog lovers with one small dog who love to sit for others. We have been both customers and sitters with Rover. We have been watching a variety of dogs in our home and enjoy the extra company to take on walks and outside for play. I work from home, so have flexibility to spend time with the dogs and go on walks throughout the day. We are open to having as much communication as you would like during your dogs stay. Our dog Mellow is a 5 year old bichon/mini poodle mix who does well with lots of different dogs. He respects others space but enjoys the company. We look forward to having your dog over for a stay soon!
