It’s truly a privilege to be trusted with your fur baby! My husband Eric and I are dog lovers. We started doing Rover after we rescued a 15 year old dog with hind leg paralysis whose elderly owner had to enter a care facility. We only got to love on her for a year before she passed of chronic liver failure, but she was so sweet and grateful and it brought her former owner so much peace, it meant the world to us. We knew we could give so many more dogs love and care and a place to feel comfortable when their owners couldn’t take them along, but we weren’t quite ready for the heartbreak of losing another rescue. So, we decided to try rover so we could care for dogs on a short-term basis. We know that it can be confusing and a little nerve wracking for dogs to be away from their people, so we truly treat them like one of our own and welcome them into the pack. It makes us genuinely happy to see your pets feeling at home in our home, lounging on the couch or playing in the yard. I had my senior (crossed the rainbow bridge at almost 18 years old) since he was a puppy. In his old age he difficulties like doggie dementia, missing teeth, arthritis, poor vision, and accidents. All these special needs have helped me to become the most patient and attentive dog caregiver possible. Our young dog Rosie struggles with separation anxiety. Their distinct challenges make me confident that I can care for and accommodate any dog, regardless of their unique needs.
