Greetings from Westminster. My roommate Lydia and I have a large fenced yard ( aka fetch paradise) with lots of room to climb, dig and explore. The raised deck provides shade for the dogs and also allows them to keep watch over the neighborhood. I have an air conditioned small quaint house and am fine with dogs being on furniture. Our two dogs love to hang out in the lower level of the house because it is naturally cooler. Our neighborhood is great because we are surrounded by beautiful scenic walking trails that literally start as soon as you leave our backyard. I have wooden floors so pet clean up isn't a huge concern of ours. I've grown up with labs and my most recent dog before my lab Aiden was a German Shepherd. As you can tell by Emma we also love little dogs too. We love dogs and find comfort in providing a good home while owners are away. I am also a Rover customer and love that I can return the service that many other sitters on here have provided for me:)
