I love dogs! We have fun being cozy in my apartment or running around in the dog park nearby. I have been taking care of/loving dogs for nearly 8 years and have a lot of experience taking care of other people's dogs. I have a dog at home, Lilly, who is a very calm and gets along very well with other dogs. She especially loves to run around and race them int he park. I have used Rover to board my own dog, so I understand your concerns and appreciate your trust. Please Note: I work a "9-5" job but it is a few blocks away from my apartment and I can come and go as I please. I am able to walk my own dog in the middle of the day, so we may be able to arrange the same for yours. :)
