I have a dog myself, Evie. I love dogs and they love me. I've actually been doing Rover for a year now with my gf. So taking caring of dogs using this service isn't new to me. Neither isn't taking care of dogs, I grew up on a Farm in California with over 5 dogs. So I know a thing or two. I usually take my dog outside very frequently just so she can play a little outside so she doesn't feel confined to my apartment; and play with her often. I would do the same with your dog as well. Giving them the same high level of love and attention they need like I give my own pet.
