Hello - back on Rover after taking a break during the pandemic. I work full-time at U-M, and I love dogs so much. I've had dogs with me my entire life - either beagles or basset hounds (so, I'm used to the stubborn & lazy couch potatoes and the extremely scent-driven). Please note: 1. I work full time during the week on a hybrid schedule. I might be out of the house for up to 9 hours on days I work in person. 2. I live on a half acre, but my property is not fenced in--I never take dogs outside without a securely fastened leash. 3. I won't take first-time dogs without first doing a meet & greet. I don't do last-minute requests, sorry. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask, I always try to respond to every message as quickly as possible. I am also more than willing to do meet and greets over at my house!
