Since I was a kid, I’ve never felt like our family was complete unless there was a dog apart of it. Our dogs are members of our family, but they can’t go everywhere we do. It’s never easy to leave them, but when they are in good hands, we feel much better. That’s why we’re on Rover. We want you and your dog(s) to have peace when you can’t be together. We’ll care for yours the way we want other’s to care for ours. Our dogs are early risers. They need their morning meals and exercise before work. However, my job is flexible and I do not have mandatory hours. I can work from home when needed and go on walks, hit the trails, or bbq in my backyard. We love walks in the cooler evenings and it’s always a family affair. After the evening activities, dinner is served and one more bathroom trip while everyone starts concluding their day. My dogs are apart of our family routine which varies every season. But for them specifically, they eat twice a day, and then are put outside for exercise in our fenced-in backyard. They have their own toys, (and wild rabbits) they can play with (chase). If we must go, they are typically brought in, especially in the hot summer months. They have their own space to rest and cool off. If we are gone for extended time they get the garage to themselves for more room to play and move. One of our dogs is typically crated.
