I have always enjoyed having family pets. There is nothing like their unconditional love! It was very sad when our last dog and cat passed away. At this time in life, we felt it was best not to take on new pets of our own. We hope to travel more when I retire in the near future. We have done some dog and cat sitting occasionally for family and friends and had fun. When I heard about Rover, I felt it was a great opportunity to give love to furry friends while caring for them as they give that love back.
