My boys, Mickey and Gino (teacup yorkies), left a mark on my heart since they are no longer here. I want the companionship of a dog but need to be flexible at times. I have experience with animal allergies, shots, specially prepared diets and picky eaters. We will walk twice a day as required. Although the backyard is small it is completely secure with a 6' wall around the entire area. The neighborhood is very quiet with very little street traffic and not a lot of foot traffic. I still work at my own business and occasionally need to travel so the flexibility of the Rover program works very nicely into my plans. Your fur-babies will be very happy staying with me at my home.
