My husband and I live on an acreage a few miles out of town and we both love dogs! We have an Australian Shepherd puppy and treat her as if she is our child! She follows us everywhere. When we are inside she’s inside and when we are outside she’s outside. We do both work full time and put her in her “dog-mahall” outside during the day while we are at work. This is a lean-to off the side of our barn that is 6’x21’. Plenty of space for her during the day. We have dog sat for family and friends before and recently used the Rover app ourselves while on vacation. We decided why not watch others dogs as well! We don’t let our dog on the furniture but do allow her to sleep in our bed.
