I have had family dogs in the past but never owned my own, sadly. My schedule up, until now, has been too busy for me to dedicate the necessary amount of time needed to spend with a dog. That being said, I know how hard it can be for dogs to get all the attention and care they need. Rover allows me to help with that! Rover can let me be the "cool aunt" to dogs -- while also helping out dog families in need. My schedule is very flexible, so Rover is perfect for me. And in my desire to own my own dog one day, Rover will let me get my dog "fix" in on a regular basis. And just so you know, I will love your dog as if it were my own.
