I have had dogs all my life, usually more than one at a time. I recently lost my best friend Suzie, a black lab, at the age of 15. Dogs are an essential part of my life, I think it may be hereditary, both of my sons got pups of their own as soon as they got their own place. I hope to get a rescue pup this year, a sister for Stella. I think it will be great to raise a pup while pet sitting for Rover so my new pup will get along with all dogs. My son does dog boarding/training for Rover and It has been a really great experience for him. After learning more about Rover I decided it was the right part time job for me. I enjoy spending time with dogs inside and outside the house and have a very dog friendly environment inside and have a good size fenced yard always available for the dogs. My son Cameron helps out and also does house sitting, dog walking and drop-in visits. He has been doing Rover just as long as me and has been caring for pets all his life.
