Our 3 children were dying for us to get a pet but we hadn't committed. We thought this would be a great way to see how responsible they would be and how much they would be willing to help while also giving them the opportunity to love on your pets while you can't. We ended up loving meeting so many different animals and so many different owners so much that we decided to just keep doing Rover :) My husband works from home every day and I do an average of 2x/week so one of us is always here. We've both both had dogs/pets in the past so are very able to be great pet sitters/walkers/etc. We have a great big yard and are willing to travel to get to your yard/neighborhood to walk/watch your pets. Hoping to hear from you and meet your awesome pets soon!! We keep dogs on a leash (unless you tell us otherwise) as we do not want to be responsible for any lost dogs on our watch!
