My wife and I grew up with dogs, and have fond memories of them that we often talk and laugh about. And now our children experience the joy as well. Dog sitting is something that has been a great solution for us. We have been on rover for over 11 years now, and we can honestly say we haven't had a bad experience yet. All dogs have gone home safe and happy! We've had several owners comment that their dogs are a little sad for a while when they had to leave here. We are all very experienced and comfortable around dogs and animals in general. We live in an expanded cape style home with a good size yard with woods with walking paths behind the house where we take dogs for walks frequently. The dogs really enjoy it, and it's nice to walk them in a more natural environment rather than pavement and traffic worries. Why I love dog sitting My wife and I grew up with dogs and some of our happy and humorous memories involved our dogs. Our children have all heard the stories, and now have a bunch of their own fun doggie memories and stories to tell. About my yard Our yard is fairly level with very mature pines and oaks. Mixture of sun and shade. Grass (and weeds!). Unfenced. There is a 100' overhead dog runner. My experience administering medication We have experience giving oral meds to dogs we've had through Rover. It's no problem. Although I did have a dog back in the day that made swallowing her pill quite a challenge!
