As someone whose work often keeps her tethered to a computer, having four legged furry friends around is a pleasure. My husband also enjoys interacting with dogs. In fact, he generally gives the dogs 2 walks per day despite having a fenced-in yard. When the weather is good, we hang out with the dogs in the back while Aaron smokes a cigar and Geneen pulls weeds (in addition to throwing balls). If I'm working in good weather, I leave the door to the deck open so dogs can sun on the fenced deck. Please explain if your dog has ever growled, snapped, or bitten a person or another animal for any reason. We may ask you to sign a written pledge accordingly. We are NOT a good fit for dogs who have shown signs of aggression toward people or small dogs. Daily rate is for any 10-hour period between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. Rate includes regular outings to the backyard plus snacks as permitted. We prefer two dogs max plus our own. Nightly rate is for any 24-hour period. Two walks are included. While we prefer dogs be crated overnight, they may roam freely in the living, dining and kitchen areas of the house. We do not enjoy dogs who demand to be on our bed at night. Let us know if we may be of assistance. It is important to us for you and your puppy have the best possible experience. Be sure to include picture(s) of you and your dog on the Rover website and to complete your profile for the quickest response.
