Hi! We are new to Rover but would love the opportunity to help you by housing your pet! We'll love your dog as much as we love ours -- and that's a lot! We've owned dogs our entire lives and have loved having our rescue pup for the past three years! Also, I've worked as a dog walker previously and handled dogs with all sorts of temperaments. Now I work less than a mile from our home and come home regularly to allow for bathroom breaks and visits. My husband owns his own company and many times works from home as well! We have a small fenced in back patio but also a park close by to stretch out our dogs legs and run! About our dog: we rescued our current dog, Pooch, in February of 2015 from a past neighbor who fell ill and could no longer take care of her. She is the sweetest dog as she was raised by the same lady for the first 4 years of her life. Since she stayed inside most of her life, she is only now realizing there are new dogs out there in the world. She loves to play but takes a moment to warm up to new dogs. Best introductions are off leash in a park or in her own home which makes Rover perfect!
