I have a 5 yr old golden retriever and help out friends and family watching their dogs. My dog Walter is always happier when he has a friend to play with outside, so i am on rover to give him the opportunity for more play dates, and to meet new friends. I will not be putting and pets in crates or fenced in areas, other then my back yard throughout their stay. "unless requested" I would prefer not using a crate and would ask for friendly other dogs that would get along with my dog, as to ensure a welcoming and home setting for every dog staying with me. I work from 7am until 3:30 pm weekdays but come home for lunch to let the dogs outside and play. Any other accommodations or services i can help with, i am sure can be reached. Thanks
