Hi! My husband and I are dog lovers and proud parents of Buddy, our9-year-old Westie. I’m a stay-at-home wife, so dogs are never left alone in our home — they always have company, attention, and care. Because I’m home all day, dogs get plenty of potty breaks and walks. Our routine includes at least three walks a day (morning, afternoon, and evening). Walks range from short 10-minute strolls to longer walks up to an hour. Since Buddy is a senior dog, we usually do shorter walks during the day and a longer evening walk with my husband — and visiting dogs will follow a similar routine based on their needs. If needed, I’m also happy to walk dogs separately to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe. Our community has a dog park just a 1-minute walk away, along with a well-maintained park full of grass and open space, making it a great environment for dogs to play, explore, and relax. We decided to join Rover simply because we truly love dogs! — and caring for them is something that brings us joy. + As a dog parent myself, I truly understand how hard it can be to leave your dog in someone else’s care. My parents live in Korea, so when I travel to visit them, I sometimes have to leave my dog, Buddy, with a trusted friend or through Rover. Even knowing he’s in good hands, it still takes a lot of thought, trust, and emotional energy. Because of this, I deeply understand the feelings that come with leaving your dog behind — the worry, the guilt, and the hope that they’ll be treated like family. I care for every dog as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and genuine love, always keeping their comfort and emotional well-being in mind.
