I'm Trish, a software engineer who works from home all-day 2x a week, and from 3:30pm onwards on the other 3 days. My husband, Ray, and I have a large apartment on the ground floor of our house, with access to our small (but mighty) backyard. We have a young daughter, so we're only able to watch small dogs at this time. I adopted my older furchild, Alva S. Vanderbilt, back in January 2012. Alva's an adorable, affectionate Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. We brought home our younger furbaby, Romola, in summer 2019. She's a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog and is over 100lbs, yet gentle with kids and dogs alike (as is typical of her breed) . Roma and Alva get along swimmingly, and Roma --still a playful pup-- especially loves having canine friends to romp around with. Both my dogs belong to needy breeds, and that's no coincidence -- I love giving dogs attention/affection just as much as they crave it! Having playmates for my girls and more doggies to dote on are my primary reasons for wanting to petsit on Rover. I accept dogs for daycare on days when I'm working from home, so they can enjoy long, supervised playdates with my pups. For overnight stays, your dog will stay in our bedroom so s/he isn't isolated or lonely. Belly rubs and photo updates come complimentary with each visit. I look forward to offering your beloved pooch a fun, welcoming, safe place to stay.
