Hi, I'm a mom to three kids ages 13-20 and stepmom to 3 kids ages 9-14. All of the kids love dogs, and my oldest is an adult who has been happy to jump in and help with our furry visitors. I'm also a third grade teacher, so patience is one of my gifts in life. We live in a quiet neighborhood in Sandy, and my hubby Justin can work from home as needed, but does go in to the office when he needs to rub elbows with the "Big Dogs." Our yard is 100% fenced, and we have a pet door, so dogs have constant access to the yard. We have a female beagle that we love. She's part of our family and loves making friends with other dogs. Everyone in our family treats her like a princess, and anyone who has watched her doesn't want to give her back. We've thought about getting another dog, but we have too much fun watching all kinds of dogs through Rover. I've had dogs in my life for 15 + years and love having them around. We really watch dogs because we love them so much! I am happy to treat your fur baby as if they are my own while you enjoy your vacation or business trip.
