Over the course of my life, my family has owned 3 dogs; one of which was a beagle so I think I can handle barking. I am a former professional soccer player and grew up playing soccer my whole life. I vividly remember the days when I used to play fetch with my dogs by kicking a flattened soccer ball or tennis ball in my backyard. I currently own a business and work a lot of my hours from home. Unfortunately, I do not have time to own a dog of my own at the moment, so Rover is the perfect supplement! Not only to I get to enjoy walking/playing with dogs on a weekly basis, but it gets me off my butt during the day! I am available 7 days a week!
