I've always loved dogs, and have had my own in the past. My goal is for your dogs' stay with us to be as comfortable as possible by caring for them the same way they are cared for at home. So if they kennel at night and/or while you're out of the house, or if they don't, I follow what they are used to, so not to cause any unnecessary stress while you're away. Same goes for walks, feeding, being allowed on furniture or not etc. Its important to me to keep the same practices that you use at home, in place so not to undo any training or behavior modification you have done, nor force them to adhere to a routine or practice that is uncomfortable or foreign to them. Over the past couple of years, I've started traveling a lot more often so having my own pets is no longer an option, but I am the person who always asks to pet your dog if I see you out on a trail taking yours for a walk, and have always been the first to offer to watch friends, family member's and co-worker's dogs when they go out of town, so doing Rover was perfect for me when I learned about it because I get to love on other people's dogs and can adjust my availability if I am going to be out of town. Belly rubs, snuggles, tug of war and fetch are some of our favorite things to do with pups, as well as take them for walks in Bunker Hills which is a 2 minute walk from our house :)
