“Ashley took great care and updated me everyday about my dog. She was so patient with my puppy to ensure that she adjusted well to the new environment. Very effective communication and I felt so grateful for having her and her family to board my girl while I travel.”
“Debbie is the most amazing person and the care and attention our dogs get is simply wonderful! I never worry about our fur babies when they are in Debbie’s Care! Her and her husband treat them like family. Our dogs simply love them!!”
“Angela takes amazing care of my dog Athena! She loves my dog like she’s her own and always keeps me in the loop with regular updates. I am so happy to have found someone so wonderful to watch my pup.”
“Jenna and her husband were great. They worked around my crazy schedule to get my pup out there, and we're more than accommodating when I asked to pick him up early because I missed him! The house was a nice space and well kept, and the yard was a super nice large space for the boys to rhomp. They were both really friendly and great with my pup, making my feel as ease to leave him with them. And their pup and mine got along really well, so that was a bonus that he had a buddy for the week! It was also really nice that I got pictures all week of the boys playing and chilling together. All around excellent experience, I can't say enough good things to say how pleased I was with everything. I would certainly look Jenna up again to sit for my pup! Thank you!!”
“Chantal was amazing with my pets! She kept me updated the entire time and made me feel at ease while they were in her care. They came back happy and well taken care of. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“I can’t say enough about how Christine and Matthew made me feel so comfortable leaving Riley with them when we were out of town! They kept me updated on how she was doing every day. When we arrived to pick her up, I thought she might want to stay!”
“What can I say about Lorinda? She provided exceptional care for my two dogs on a two week private at home boarding at her house. Her communication and responsiveness was 10 out of 10. She was incredibly flexible and helpful with logistics and some special accommodations we needed. When the state got extended and the dogs ran out of food, she was kind enough to go to two different stores to pick up what they like. She is very professional and reliable, and I feel very comfortable being out of the country, knowing that my dogs are with her.”
“Nina was a lifesaver! She was able to schedule a meet and greet, and book our dog for the weekend with short notice. She was very communicative. We received updates, and pictures, which was so appreciated. Our dog seemed very content during his stay with Nina. We are looking forward to using her again!”
“Kiera took such wonderful care of my senior guy! I dropped him off at her home while I moved into my new place and I had such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Kiera sent me pics and videos of Chico playing and out on walks with her sweet senior girl! I will definitely bring Chico back to Kiera’s in the future.”
“Booked last minute and was very accommodating. I needed a day sitter for my 2 labs and received pictures/ updates thought the day. My dogs had a great day and were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future.”
“Cassandra was amazing with my Sophia who is an older dog with a few senior issues. We were kept in the loop every day on how she was adjusting to her new sitter ( including pictures) and that made me feel confident we made a great choice. I would hope Cassandra will agree to watch Sophia again when she needs boarding. Anne”
“I was very anxious about leaving any of my dog with a sitter, as I have never left any of them with anyone before. I was very pleased how my fur family was taken care of, (he definitely goes above and beyond for your babies) I would definitely recommend him as well as use his services again in the future.”
“Kara was great ! Was able to take Zoey at late notice and was more than happy to accomodate her special needs. Will be happy to use her again next time I'm out of town”
“Loving caring family that genuinely loves pets and take great care of them. We made a relatively last minute booking to care for our dog over a long weekend and could not be happier ! Jester loved the beautiful fenced in back yard which gave him a big safe place to enjoy the outside. We would not hesitate to leave Jester in their care again. Thanks Matt and Christie. We really appreciate you both for the love and attention you gave Jester and for making your home a fun, pet-friendly place for pets to vacation !!!!”
“I was very pleased that they were able to take Freya on short notice. When I went for the meet and greet, Duncan was very meticulous in asking questions about Freya and writing everything down. He took great care of Freya and she was a happy pup when I went to get her. I would recommend Joan and Duncan for dog-sitting anytime!”

“This was our first time using rover for our 2 cats. They are super anxious kitties and Natalie was awesome. She kept me updated on them and I didn’t have to worry about a thing!”
“Anastasia is an outstanding sitter who was available on short notice and was able to care for Stanley very well. He can be a difficult cat but she won him over despite some very loud meowy protests. Would recommend to anyone for cat care”
“Amber is great! She's very responsible and communicative, understands cats from being a cat owner herself, and is very caring and loving with them. I would highly recommend her services.”
“We had an amazing experience with Chantal. She is incredibly warm-hearted and kind. She communicated with us transparently about our cat, regularly sending pictures and keeping us updated! Going above and beyond what was required of her. We would 100% book with her again. Thank you so much!”
“Gil's calm and thoughtful demeanor immediately inspired trust. His care of my cat was flawless. I will request Gil next time I am away. I recommend Gil without reservation.”
About: Who better than a veterinarian to take care of your best buddies while you're away? I am a new DVM graduate, and am happy to take care of your pets, no matter how old or young, especially those with special needs! I am certified in dog/cat CPR, and am comfortable providing any care needed. *Please note*: My providing pet sitting/dog walking/pet care services does NOT constitute a VCPR, and I cannot provide medical advice unless a VCPR is explicitly established in accordance with NY State Law* I prefer to stay in the client's home especially for dogs as this is generally much more comfortable for the dog to stay in their own environment. For overnight stays, I like to meet the dogs beforehand with owners present. This way they are assured it is okay to have me in their space for staying with them.
“Excellent! Super friendly, immediate and positive responses, very engaged, incredible with dogs. Even noticed a medical condition in my poodle and offered to help. Even helped with other animals on property. Super thank you! Would 100% recommend. Dependable, honest, proactive, engaging communicator, trustworthy, and non-judgemental.”
“Cortney came to the house to meet Teagan before we went away-the longest trip we’ve taken since he joined the family, and I was approaching basket-case level anxiety about it. I was immediately relieved after meeting Cortney and seeing Teag warm right up to her! She sent pics and messages about him everyday. And it’s no small detail that she’s a vet tech and knows how to assess an animal’s health! I hope Cortney is available for our future trips!! Teagan was happy to see us back, but he’s still a little cranky about us being away?”
About: Hi there! My name is Jordan R. and I love taking care of dogs :) My family has always had dogs growing up from big to small, and have been my best friends. My roommate also has a dog and I love to play, walk with them, teach them tricks, and have fun with them! I am available to walk dogs, dog sit, come over and take them to the park or to hangout, anything you need! I'm available at almost any time during the day and overnight when needed.

About: I grew up with two cats, so I love cats as well as dogs. In 2019, I adopted an incredibly loving, gorgeous lab pit named Lucy, and she keeps me very active every day! She was a rescue dog, and although we were originally fostering her, I bonded with her too much to let her go. I’ve always been a natural introvert and have been drawn to the compassion of animals. I believe we can learn more about our own humanity through caring for animals. I look forward to meeting your amazing furry friends! In addition to Rover, I substitute teach right now, and this allows me to have a very flexible schedule. It's closer to part-time than full-time. My priority is to listen and adapt to each client’s needs/preferences, so that both the client and their pets will be as happy as possible.
“Such a great experience and a wonderful caring human to watch over our fur babies! Sent lots of updates while we were away and followed all of the care instructions for our cats. Thank you so much. 100% recommend!”

About: I grew up with dogs and recently owned 2 rescued dogs. I have land around my home and access to a wooded area with trails for longer walks. I am comfortable with caring for dogs in any facet. I am a teacher and I am looking for summer work. I am free every day until late August. I am willing to walk your dog in your neighborhood or board a dog over night. I have a stake in my yard for when my daughter visits with her 35 lb. Dog. Previous bigger dogs were walked on a leash at all times. I usually walk my dogs 1-2x daily for up to a 1/2 hour.
About: I’ve had multiple dogs all my life and raised plenty of puppies. All kinds of dogs are my favorite people! They bring so much joy and energy to life I have 6 of my own dogs and live on a farm, so walking the fields and woods on our property is a daily occurrence. My dogs truly run my life! Lol I have a large fenced back yard as well as 50 acres to walk with them. There are dog doors to the fenced yard and my pack of 6 dogs provide plenty of entertainment and exercise for visiting pups.
“Ashley and her husband were great. They were very responsive to questions, went above and beyond to update me throughout the daycare process, and also spoiled my dogs with a pool and so much attention. Thank you both for helping my family out while we were moving!”
“I can’t thank Gil enough for the attentiveness, caring, and love he showed to my 15 yr old dachshund! Gil took the time to listen to my wife and me when we described to him our pup’s tendencies and hinderances. We felt confident as we pulled out of the driveway that our old guy was in great hands! Gil made sure to send us photos of our pup throughout the day, as well as updates on its evacuations (very important for an older dog). Overall, I can say unequivocally that Gil was a perfect sitter for our elderly pup, and I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter in that area! Kudos, Gil!”
About: I’ve owned pets my whole life. My children are also in love with dogs snd cats and are very good with them. There are many non busy streets, hiking trails and a dog park near me. Backyard is fully fenced. I’m working part time and am very flexible, punctual and organized. I also have a large Pacifica van for getting dogs to and from that can fit large crates. I love exercising and playing with pups and even cats. They say a good dog is a tired dog and I love getting out with them.
About: I have 6+ years of taking care of my 2 jack Russell’s, neighbors dogs + cats in 3 different states and my boyfriends parents 2 cats (1 disabled). Promptly giving medicine to those animals in need for specific time, and patience tending to their attentions and needs. I work full time remote M-Thursday 8am-4pm with an hour and half lunch break each day. I work 3x a week part time on site and can be flexible as needed. I have a high energy dog (Jack Russell) that requires a lot of assertiveness and strict use of instruction. But at the same time requires rewards and playtime. I love to care for animals, but also care about the safety of myself, and owners property always keeping that at a #1 priority of my surroundings and the pets safety and better interest of the owner.
“Chantal is a fabulous rover who always takes such sweet care of my puppy. He absolutely loves her and warmed up to her within minutes at our meet and greet. Chantal follows directions and provides great care with updates. Kind, intuitive, and nurturing she provided excellent care while my puppy recovered from a stomach bug. He gets excited every time we pull up to her home and happily awaits weekly visits. Great rover reliable and sincere, she completely turned our Rover experience around after a negative experience with a different Rover the first time we used the app. Repeat customer, we can always count on Chantal to offer amazing services.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and prioritize clear communication with regular updates and photos. I have a fully fenced in backyard (although I can also take your pet for walks as well if preferred!) and am available to give lots of cuddles all day as I work from home full time! I work remote full time and have a fully fenced in back yard so I am able to watch your dog or cat full time. On the weekends I am usually out hiking or with friends, and can take your pet on those adventures as well! I also have a small 30 lb house trained and friendly doggy named Ramsey who is always down to play and/or nap :) I am able to give your pet around the clock care as I work from home, and my dog Ramsey is always ready to make new friends! I do allow pets on the furniture, just not in my bed, and have a fully fenced in yard for playtime, as well as the ability to take your furry friend on walks as well! Please let me know what your needs are, I want their stay to be as comfortable as possible!
About: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.
“Terri is great! We are getting our pupper acclimated to her “vacation home” for a longer stay later in the year, and after much trial and error found someone that lets us take a trip knowing our furbaby is in good hands. Rover needs more than 5 stars…”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and family members dogs growing up. My family loves to take care of dogs. We will care for your dog like we would our own. I have 4 kids(1-16) so the dog must be good with small children. I do work during the week. Someone is home during the summer and school breaks.

I have two levels of our house and the dog is welcome to the entire house. We love to go on walks!
“Staci was a great! She has excellent communication, and updated me with plenty of pictures. I felt very safe allowing her in my home to pick up and drop off my Ace. She has a lot of experience and I was confident my dog was in good care with her. I highly recommend Staci.”
“Kevin did a great job with my playful, big, high energy pup! He had great communication setting up the booking and pickup times. When I picked up my dog, I could tell that she was happy and tired. Very happy with the experience!”
“Meghan was great! She was able to sit on short notice even when we arrived later than projected. She was really sweet with Skylar even bringing him into her pet family and helping him feel at home.”

About: By hiring an experienced and professional pet sitter, your pet will be able to suffer much less stress by staying in their own home and sleeping in their own bed. Additionally, there will be no exposure to dangerous illness from other animals, and I will provide the extra TLC they'll need while you're away. You can trust me, and feel confident your pet is in capable, caring hands while you're away from home. I offer "Meet & Greet" interviews for first time clients (within 15 miles from Middleton, TN), because I want you to feel comfortable with the whole process, and with me. My goal is to give you the peace of mind you'll need when you are away, and to make your return convenient, easy, and hassle-free. (Meet & Greets over 15 miles away from Middleton will incur a $1/mile travel fee for each mile over the first 15.) My rates are very reasonable. Rather than charging by the hour, I charge by the day, which makes it much more affordable for my clients. I can provide references of past customers upon request. I am also available to watch your pet in my home (my dogs are very socialized with both dogs and cats), but I have found that it's more convenient for me, and far less stressful for your pet if they're allowed to stay in the comfort of their own home. Depending on your distance from me, I can visit your pets 2 - 3 times each day, for 30 - 45 minute intervals, or I can stay at your home for as long as you'd like me to, including overnights, if that's what you prefer. I am very flexible and will work with you to set up a schedule and system that works best for you and your pet. You can also rest easy knowing that I am insured while in your home. I have experience administering medications for both cats and dogs. I will also walk them, play with them (of course!), snuggle and love them like my own, and do whatever other activities you'd like me to do. I have taken care of as many as 5 dogs at one time for a week or more, so no pet sitting job is too difficult for me, because when you love animals like I do, it never seems like work! :) Please contact me today to discuss your needs so I may provide you with a quote, and thank you for considering me for the care of your precious pets! ~ Lolly Winne LollyPup Pet Sitting F.A.Q. 1. How many visits are there per day? The number of visits is determined by you, the pet owner. Normally, cats require only one or two visits per day, unless medications need to be given. Dogs usually have two to three visits per day at morning, midday and evening, but the number of visits and time of visits are at the client's discretion. 2. How long are the visits? The length of each visit depends on the client's needs. The average visit lasts 30-45 minutes, but longer visits may be requested and the price would be adjusted accordingly. 3. Will you provide services other than animal care? I can also bring in the mail, open/close blinds as needed, take out the trash, clean litter boxes as needed, turn lights on or off, etc. to provide your house the security it needs while you're away. 4. What will happen if my pet becomes ill while I am away? You will sign a vet release form at the time of the first visit. If you're pet becomes ill while you are away, I will contact you first, unless I deem it to be an emergency. In the case of an emergency, I will take your pet to the vet you indicated on the vet release form. If their office is closed, I will take your pet to the emergency vet clinic. 5. Will you spend the night? I am available to do overnight stays on most occasions. This type of visit usually requires more advance notice so that I can mark those dates on my calendar. 6. What if you are ill and can't take care of my pets? If I have an emergency or become ill, my fiancé and my cousin are my backups. They both love dogs just as much as I do and are both very experienced, and will make sure your pet receives the same love and attention as well as the specific services you requested.

How will I know for sure that all things are fine within the home i.e. no break in, water leaks, etc.? ALWAYS: - Be sure your pet sit dates have been confirmed with me. Call me when: - Your departure day or time has changed. - Your arrival day or time has changed. - You have arrived home. - If you have an emergency and must leave town immediately, please be sure to call and leave me a message. Be sure to give me a number where I can reach you to confirm that I have received the message and let you know that your pets will be taken care of. Please also email me as well. *NOTE: If your pet has been diagnosed with a contagious illness/infection I need to be aware of this. I DO NOT want to carry any contagious diseases to other client's pets or to my own, and I will need to contact your veterinarian for specifics. PLEASE be responsible pet owners and notify me immediately if you have a pet sit coming up and one of your pets is ill. Thank you for your assistance, my clients and their pets appreciate your thoughtfulness. THANK YOU! :) About this sitter: Anyone who knows me would say I'm a HUGE animal lover. I have a special place in my heart for dogs. If I pass by someone walking their dog, I've been known to turn around, go back, and ask the owner if I can pet them. Yes, this typically results in the weirdest expressions, but hey, their dogs totally love me! LOL A little about me... I'm 50 years young and live in Middleton, TN with my wonderful husband and our 3 small sweet fur babies (2 shih tzus and a bichon/poodle mix). I have 2 grown children and an 8 year old Pit Bull named Jax who lives with them in Murfreesboro, TN. I'm originally from upstate NY (born & raised 4 hours north of NYC, in cow country!) but moved to the south to be with the love of my life. :) I worked in a kennel years ago, so I've handled virtually every type of dog there is, and there was never a time when my family didn't have a dog or two in the house growing up. I've been jokingly called "The Dog Whisperer", as I'm known for befriending dogs that are normally unapproachable. The bottom line? I LOVE DOGS! Honestly? I think I must've been a dog in a past life... LOL ;) I will happily watch your pet in my home, however I much prefer to travel to your home to take care of them, where they are happiest and the least stressed. I'm willing to travel anywhere, as long as my travel expenses are covered. Please contact me today for a quote. :) I have been pet sitting for about 15 years now. Please read the testimonials provided by several of my past clients. :) About my yard: I have a large, fenced in back yard where the dogs can run free and get plenty of exercise. There's plenty of room for multiple dogs. My experience administering medication: I've done this countless times. This has never been an issue for me. I don't work a regular job because I have my own businesses. This allows me the luxury of making my own schedule and working from home, so I am able to stop whatever I'm working on an any given time to take care of any animals that are in my care. It's truly the perfect side job for me. At my home, I have 2 fenced areas that I can use for when your dog(s) need to go out, otherwise they'll be inside with me getting lots of love. They would never be let out unsupervised as I'd never want to take a chance of them escaping. (My goats are known for this so they've made me paranoid. Lol) Oh, and by the way, I have Valais Blacknose sheep (a.k.a. the "world's cutest sheep!") and Nigerian Dwarf goats who all stay in their own fenced pasture together. I also have two very sweet LGDs who are wonderful with other dogs, but stay in the pasture and lean-to (attached to my house) with them at all times to protect the animals and property from coyotes. And they do their job extremely well! At your home, I will follow whatever instructions you provide for the care of your fur babies, and I'll send you text updates everyday, including pictures and video.
About: Well hello everybody! I have owned and cared for cats my whole life! I would consider myself an expert even with the most challenging kitties and cats of all ages. Most of the cats I have had as pets have been special needs as well so please don’t think your little fur baby is too “difficult” for me! Also, I have been professionally taking care of pets all of my whole life. at most I’ve had 15 cats, 4 dogs, 1 turtle and 1 lizard. poop doesn’t scare me and neither does piddle! I have also had a plethera of pets that had special needs. therefore, if your pet requires special care, I am 100% willing to do that to ensure that you’re comfortable and that your fur-baby is too ☺️ Elderly pets are no worry. If your pet sprays I don’t wish to board them mainly because I don’t want their potty scent throwing off my animals. I have 3 cats of my own at my house. if your pet doesn’t agree with cats boarding probably won’t be the best solution for you! I have a completely open schedule that allows me to be around for you and your pet needs almost everyday of the week. I’m awake around the clock and don’t mind working with odd hours either! I would refer to the pet owners wants, wishes & concerns and of course treat them like as if they were my own little fur baby!

“Ashley took great care and updated me everyday about my dog. She was so patient with my puppy to ensure that she adjusted well to the new environment. Very effective communication and I felt so grateful for having her and her family to board my girl while I travel.”
“Angela takes amazing care of my dog Athena! She loves my dog like she’s her own and always keeps me in the loop with regular updates. I am so happy to have found someone so wonderful to watch my pup.”
“Jenna and her husband were great. They worked around my crazy schedule to get my pup out there, and we're more than accommodating when I asked to pick him up early because I missed him! The house was a nice space and well kept, and the yard was a super nice large space for the boys to rhomp. They were both really friendly and great with my pup, making my feel as ease to leave him with them. And their pup and mine got along really well, so that was a bonus that he had a buddy for the week! It was also really nice that I got pictures all week of the boys playing and chilling together. All around excellent experience, I can't say enough good things to say how pleased I was with everything. I would certainly look Jenna up again to sit for my pup! Thank you!!”
“Chantal was amazing with my pets! She kept me updated the entire time and made me feel at ease while they were in her care. They came back happy and well taken care of. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“I can’t say enough about how Christine and Matthew made me feel so comfortable leaving Riley with them when we were out of town! They kept me updated on how she was doing every day. When we arrived to pick her up, I thought she might want to stay!”
“What can I say about Lorinda? She provided exceptional care for my two dogs on a two week private at home boarding at her house. Her communication and responsiveness was 10 out of 10. She was incredibly flexible and helpful with logistics and some special accommodations we needed. When the state got extended and the dogs ran out of food, she was kind enough to go to two different stores to pick up what they like. She is very professional and reliable, and I feel very comfortable being out of the country, knowing that my dogs are with her.”
“Kiera took such wonderful care of my senior guy! I dropped him off at her home while I moved into my new place and I had such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Kiera sent me pics and videos of Chico playing and out on walks with her sweet senior girl! I will definitely bring Chico back to Kiera’s in the future.”
“Booked last minute and was very accommodating. I needed a day sitter for my 2 labs and received pictures/ updates thought the day. My dogs had a great day and were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future.”
“Cassandra was amazing with my Sophia who is an older dog with a few senior issues. We were kept in the loop every day on how she was adjusting to her new sitter ( including pictures) and that made me feel confident we made a great choice. I would hope Cassandra will agree to watch Sophia again when she needs boarding. Anne”
“I was very anxious about leaving any of my dog with a sitter, as I have never left any of them with anyone before. I was very pleased how my fur family was taken care of, (he definitely goes above and beyond for your babies) I would definitely recommend him as well as use his services again in the future.”
“Kara was great ! Was able to take Zoey at late notice and was more than happy to accomodate her special needs. Will be happy to use her again next time I'm out of town”
“Loving caring family that genuinely loves pets and take great care of them. We made a relatively last minute booking to care for our dog over a long weekend and could not be happier ! Jester loved the beautiful fenced in back yard which gave him a big safe place to enjoy the outside. We would not hesitate to leave Jester in their care again. Thanks Matt and Christie. We really appreciate you both for the love and attention you gave Jester and for making your home a fun, pet-friendly place for pets to vacation !!!!”
“I was very pleased that they were able to take Freya on short notice. When I went for the meet and greet, Duncan was very meticulous in asking questions about Freya and writing everything down. He took great care of Freya and she was a happy pup when I went to get her. I would recommend Joan and Duncan for dog-sitting anytime!”
“I am so grateful for the care that Ninja revived! Chelsea did a great job and Ninja felt right at home. I really appreciated the photos that were shared during his stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was well cared for. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets, as well as the pets of family and friends, for as long as I can remember. Animals have always brought joy to my life, and I love the positive impact they have on my mental health and overall well-being.My schedule is very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care and spend quality time with the pets I look after. I live in a spacious house with plenty of room for pets to play and relax. I also have a partially fenced backyard and a front yard where pets can enjoy supervised outdoor time. In addition, I live near several parks and green spaces that are perfect for walks and exploring, always with your pet’s safety as my top priority. I am currently unemployed but going to back grad school in policy studies at su so I will have pretty of time to devote to taking care of pets. I have a larger house with pets of rooms for animals to play around. I also have a semi fenced in backyard and front yard for out door activists. I also live next to many green spaces and places for animals to explore. Safely of course!
