I have taken care of dogs for 40 years on and off as people need me. Started with friends for free! I've volunteered at local animal shelter. I've adopted dogs and 2 cats from local shelters. I took in my uncle's dog (uncle diagnosed with brain tumor). I've rescued dogs off the streets and taken them to low kill shelters! I actually love dogs and will greet them on the street before ever saying hi to their owners. I need to do better at that. Your dog will be cared for and looked after. I let them out 6-8 times a day in the fenced in backyard Saturday-Monday. I am at work 4 days a week for 4 hours each day. So that is the longest they are left in the house. I enjoy them hanging around with me. If your pet needs to be in a crate at night, no problem. I have a large crate so you don't have to lug one around. If they don't need a crate, they are welcome to join my dog and me in my bed. If I have more than 2 visiting dogs, we all sleep on my 3 couches. Everyone gets their own space, even me! I also sit for friends and word of mouth, so they won't be listed on my Rover calendar. For example: June 3, 2025: I have one dog, not from Rover, and my dog. Tomorrow, I'm getting a friend's 2 dogs. Later in the month, 2 other word-of-mouth dogs.
