If ever there were a dog-person, is it ever me. I love 'em all, from the smallest chihuahua to the biggest mastiff. I've had three dogs in my lifetime and each one was my best friend. The memories I made with my three dogs (Jazz - Rottweiler/Lab mix, Houston - Bassett Hound, and Delilah - Pitt Bull/Boxer mix) are some of the best times I've ever had. My dogs were unimaginably important to me, so I understand how special your dog is to you, too! I am not on Rover to start a business or anything. Right now I am home full-time so this makes a lot of sense for me - I have the time and ability to take care of your dog just as you would. While staying at my house your dog will get plenty of attention and have ample potty-breaks. Also, I have a large fenced-in yard so not only will your dog be safe, but there will be no shortage of playtime and exercise while staying at my house. I can't wait to meet your dog!
