Hello hello! I initially got on Rover after a lot of lovely experiences watching my brothers rambunctious chocolate Lab. We don't have pets ourselves, so we like to borrow others! I am primarily stay at home with my two kids, as well as study from home. This keeps me very available for dog sitting. My two kids adore dogs and my daughter is particularly fond of licks on the face! My son likes to play fetch and tug-o-war with the right dogs. Over the past year, we have made our home more dog friendly. We have a very spacious enclosed back yard as well as an enclosed front yard. So, I make sure your pal gets plenty of sunshine, potty and play "breaks." I make it a point for my kids to spend ample amount outside, as with the dogs. We also have gates on our doors so we can have open doors and inside doggies. I almost always ensure that my dogs get a good walk in every day, as I am an avid walker myself. The bike path is a matter of blocks from my house, as is the river bottom. For the right dog, and the right time, I also take dogs down to the river bottom for a good frolick, sometimes off leash for the right dogs. In the home I try to keep large dogs off furniture but not a Nazi about it. Small dogs, particularly those with hair, are welcome on the couches. I also keep them out of the bedrooms as our bed are on the floor. Other than that, they can roam free. I am also open to providing discounts for extended stays and long term customers. All the best 👍 🐕 ❤️
