****if you're new to Rover and this will be your FIRST EVER booking, ask me about my special code to get $20 off your pup's first stay!**** I recently raised a puppy after my older dog passed away. Spending time with my now 1 year old dog is the most important part of my day, and I know it is for her too; I understand the importance of spending time, exercising, and interacting with your dog. I am very used to high energy dogs and love running in the yard, walking trails, and driving out to large dog parks. I have dog-sat at my own home as well at others' homes and feel comfortable doing both. I work a first shift job with extremely flexible hours, but usually between 8-5. I am willing to travel home every 4 hours if your dog requires more potty breaks, or go to work earlier/later to accommodate for your dogs schedule. My home is a 3 story town home that is quite large and has a medium sized unfenced yard in the front. The home is located in a large subdivision with little traffic and leads to some trails, so it's perfect for walks. I do live with one other person who is a dog lover herself, and she spends less than 50% of her time in our home. I would say that I am very outgoing, easy to plan with, and willing to make any accommodations possible for your dog, and to make you feel comfortable with your dog in my care. My dog does not need to be present whether your dog is in my home or if I am in yours, and any and all communications regarding your standards and expectations will be met.
