I have been a dog owner for nearly my whole life, sometimes having 2 or 3 dogs at a time. Recently we lost both our beloved dogs within a week of one another. We were crushed. Our one dog was 15.5 years old, and the other was 10. They had good lives, but for us, it was lives way too short. We both work from home, and these dogs were our constant companions and faithful friends. We have a huge void without them. Rather than rush out to "replace" them, which we could never do, we decided to share our love of dogs with other pet owners by working with Rover.com. We will love your pet like it was our own. Your pet will be loved on and paid attention to. Your dog will be played with. Promise!
