“Aarika was absolutely amazing!! She was flexible and communicative through our entire last-minute planning process. She sent daily progress updates and photos of our sweet boy smiling and having so much fun (and getting lots of pats, which he loves!!) We will absolutely be booking with Aarika again! :)”
“Ratih and her partner were so incredible with my dog. Super responsive, caring, accommodating, and nurturing. I felt so at ease leaving my boy with Ratih and would love to use her again in the future. Thank you, Ratih! ♥️”
“Jennifer is outstanding! Finding her was truly a God send. We recently got a puppy and were worried we wouldn't be able to find a sitter in time before we all returned work. I stumbled across Rover, did a quick search and there she was. Communicating with her was simple and response time was almost instant! She took our little girl in with open arms and have provided her excellent care! Our pup adapted to Jennifer, her animals, and her home with ease. She has helped me with a few late care requests and accommodates my early drop off and late pick up due to work! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! :)”
“When Beebe lost her bonded pair, she experienced separation anxiety and is challenging to leave on her own or with other care givers. I appreciate Kelsey's willingness to care for her very much.”
“Elaine and her family watched my dobie and I couldn't have been happier with his stay. They loved him like he was their own and I felt totally comfortable leaving him. I have used Elaine twice and I will continue using her in the future. She was fantastic!”

“We had an amazing experience with Cynthia! She took care of Milo for two days and treated him like her own. She kept us updated, made sure he was comfortable, and gave him lots of attention and care. It was clear that Milo was happy and well cared for the entire time. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Angela was awesome with Monte. I was worried leaving him in a new place for 3 nights. She sent pictures of him having fun which let me relax and enjoy my trip. Highly recommend!”

“There was very good communication from the beginning of the book till the end. I appreciated the updates with pictures of my dog. I would definitely rebook with Kimberly in the future. Service was 10/10.”
“Kris and her family took great care of our Romy and Tilly. Tilly has lots of medical/health needs and she came back refreshed and well fed. Romy is a sweet boy but was having some behavioral issues and they took care of all of it and offered some suggestions for us to help!”
“Kelsey took wonderful care of our dog, Ruby, while we were out of town for a few days. Ruby had so much fun with Kelsey’s dogs and you could tell she instantly felt at home. Thank you so much for treating her like your own!”
“Avery was wonderful! Patient, caring and kind. This trip Finn was a anxious being left this time. Avery did what she could to support him and manage his seperation. After a great play fay with another one of Avery's pack.. all went well. Thank you so much Avery, See you next time.”
“It mean so much knowing our dog is somewhere where he is loved and taken care of. Sherri takes care of our dog as well as we would and her communication is awesome. Lots of pictures and stories!”
“A wonderful pet sitter! Very communicative and warm. She was able to accommodate our last minute request, sent us updates and photos of our doggy while we were away, which was very reassuring, and she was flexible and understanding when our ferry delayed our pickup time by almost an hour. We would recommend her and be happy to have her care for our pup again in the future.”
“Our fur goblin Vivi had a fabulous stay with Kara and her pup Doc! Vivi is an energetic gal who loves play and walks, and had a good time with the toy basket at Kara’s place. We appreciated Kara’s updates, photos, and even a video of Vivi and Doc playing together. We felt very comfortable leaving Vivi in Kara’s care.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Our two dogs were so well cared for, and it was clear they were treated with love and attention the entire time. We appreciated the daily photos and updates. It made being away so much easier. We will absolutely be booking again with Danielle”

“Morgan was great! She had great communication and genuinely cared for my pet. She took great care of Holly and Holly loved her! I will definitely choose Morgan again!”
“We had never hired a pet-sitter before, and we were nervous about leaving our cats home while I had to take a 3-day business trip. One of our cats is shy around other people and has weird eating habits. Zane set our minds at ease. She visited with us first and got to know the cats, then she gave us update photos/videos and comments with every visit. She was patient and kind and really took the time to earn our shy cat's trust. We would absolutely hire her again in the future.”
“Tyeler takes such good care of our cat, Nellie and she is our go to when we will be out of town! She goes above and beyond and I always feel more relaxed knowing Nellie is in good hands when we are gone.”
“She went above and beyond to help out with not only my animals but my garden too! Her communication was excellent and she was kind and genuine. So grateful I found a great sitter!”
“We are so happy to have found Karolina! She and our kitty seem to really love each other. She takes such good care of our house, and keeps our kitty happy while we are away. We have no worries when she is there.”
“Kayla was awesome, I could not tell you how relieving it is to be able to leave my cats (one which needs oral medicines) knowing she was coming. She played with them everyday and never missed anything. I enjoyed the photos provided and hope she can come back next time the cats need her! 1000% recommend.”
About: Welcome to my profile! I have over 4 years of pet sitting experience caring for puppies, kittens, seniors, and every age in between. At home, I have two Australian Shepherds and two cats of my own, so I know how to manage high energy as well as quiet routines. I am a self-proclaimed cat whisperer with extensive experience handling timid felines, as well as administering oral and topical medications safely. Beyond cats and dogs, I’ve also cared for fish, geckos, and axolotls! I pride myself on reliability, clear communication, and keeping your pets safe and comfortable while you're away. I look forward to meeting your pets! Open availability 7 days a week! My schedule is completely open with flexible, full-time availability through mid-September. Drop-In Visits & Walks: Available anytime morning, afternoon, or evening (from short check-ins up to a few hours of extended care/company). Overnight House Sitting: Available on a case-by-case basis! I am happy to stay overnight in the right home environment to keep your pets comfortable in their normal routine. Note: Once college classes resume in mid-September, my availability will transition to mornings, evenings, and weekends. Also subject to change if employed elsewhere. Caring for your pets in your home is a responsibility I take very seriously. Here is how I ensure a safe and trustworthy environment: Home Respect & Security: I ensure all entryways and gates are locked tight, respect your privacy, and leave your home as clean as (or cleaner than) I found it. Tailored Routines: I strictly follow your feeding, exercise, and house rules so your pets don't experience unnecessary stress while you're away. Specialized & Medical Care: Experience administering oral/topical medications and in handling puppies, kittens, seniors, and feeding exotic pets (geckos, axolotls, fish) safely. Emergency Readiness: I ask for your veterinarian's contact info and emergency preferences before every booking and send clear photo updates if requested so you never have to worry.
“Raith & her husband are BOTH incredible! My babies will absolutely be going back when I need a sitter✨ Was able to book with *VERY SHORT NOTICE* & I was updated regularly, with pictures included🩷 My two cats made themselves right at home & I could tell they were very comfy there, based off of the updates on their personalities☀️ They were very enthusiastic to spend time with my babies & even brought us a cup of Raith’s incredible coffee when we picked them up!🐾 Could not speak any more highly of them & their services😻”
“Thank you Madeline for loving our cats while we were out. She is prompt, and responsible. We trusted Madeline and would definitely contact her next time we are out of town.”
“Amber and her darling children are great! Our kitten was slowly introduced to the family and quickly became part of the family. Amber communicated well and sent photos and videos.”
“Amber took very good care of our senior cat and our house over the weekend. It gave us peace of mind knowing our little guy had companionship and care while we were away. If we need someone again we will definitely be checking Amber's schedule.”
“Karlee has checked in on my cat a couple times now. She has excellent communication and follows instructions. I know my little furball is in great hands with her!! Highly recommended.”
About: Cats are my specialty, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. I currently care for my own cats, including one who takes daily steroid medication, so I'm comfortable following medication schedules and paying close attention to changes in behavior. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet company, or simply needs someone to keep their routine consistent, I'll provide attentive, compassionate care. Every visit includes fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, playtime or companionship, and photo updates so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands.
About: I am an experienced pet sitter and have worked in Animal Shelters and know how to compassionately take care of pets with all manners of needs. I have also taken dog training courses at Colorado State University and have loved my own dog Bandit for 3 years. I am currently watching others furry family members full time and have open availability for all your needs! No matter you and your pets schedule I can be there. I am adaptable to care for pets in any home environment and can quickly figure out your equipment and routine to keep things as “normal” for your fur baby as possible.
About: Hi, I'm Zora, and I am 19-year-old student who grew up in Mount Vernon. I am currently taking a gap year in Norway, and I am looking to do some pet care when I return home for the summer. During high school I was a dedicated leadership volunteer and a teacher aide at a preschool. I have a cat and a small dog and I love taking care of pets! I can stay at your house or just drop by when needed, and I can walk smaller dogs or calmer large dogs - I'm just not strong enough to handle super big dogs if they pull a lot when walking. I am very calm and gentle and I volunteered at the NOAH animal shelter for three years with both dogs and cats. I love animals and my goal is to make them feel comfortable and safe when they are in my care. I don’t have my summer schedule solidified yet, but I will prioritize any bookings made here. Once I make a commitment, I stick with it. I do not offer boarding, but I have a small, dog-friendly car so I can take them for a hike or a visit to the park if you are comfortable. I will spend as much time as I can with your pets to ensure they feel loved, comfortable, and happy when they are in my care. I am gentle and patient and will not force affection on animals who aren’t enthusiastic about it.
About: I have 2 years of experience working at a dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. From playful puppies to senior dogs with disabilities, I've seen it all. Growing up surrounded by a variety of dogs, from tiny Yorkies to gentle Great Danes, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs. Whether it's providing extra care for seniors or giving energetic pups their much-needed exercise, I’m passionate about keeping your furry friends happy and healthy! I’m available to care for your pets throughout the week! Whether you need a dog walk, check-in, or caring for your pet while away, I’m here to help! Let me know your pet’s needs, and I’ll make sure they’re well cared for during the times that work best for you. Please note: Starting June 1, 2025, my HOUSE SITTING rates will be updated. On Rover, the listed rate will show as $60 per night, which applies when you're away on vacation or need care over multiple days with daytime coverage. However, if you're booking longer daytime care without an overnight stay (for example, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM), the rate will be adjusted to $20 per hour for the time I’m actively caring for your pets. While the initial booking may still show as $60, I will manually adjust the rate on my end and send it to you for approval before confirming. This helps ensure you're only paying for the time you need, and your pets still receive high-quality, attentive care. Additionally, please note that for extended visits, I can provide early morning and late night drop ins, but will stay in my own home as I have my own fur babies to care for ☺️ Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide care in the familiar environment of your home, ensuring they feel secure and relaxed. I build trust through consistent, loving attention, treating each pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s following specific routines or providing a calm atmosphere, I make sure your furry friend feels safe and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Since I was 8, I have known how to care for cats. I grew up raising cats and kittens. At 22, I helped rescue a kitten for my mom and nephew. She is fully grown and healthy now. Cats need activity and play to entertain them.
“Patient and fun family, was available with a few days notice. Piper loved her tennis ball y’all brought. I can tell it’s her current favorite as it’s completely falling apart now.”
“Heidi went above and beyond to make sure our beloved pets were taken care of and safe. I would recommend her to anyone who's looking for a great pet sitter! She did an outstanding job staying in communication with us and giving us the piece of mind that our animals were well looked after. We will definitely be hiring her again the next time we travel and so should you!”
“Wonderful as always! Luna is happy, loved and fed when we get home. If you're reading this, tip on Venmo. Unfortunately there's a tip limit. And Emily provides care, reassurance and constant communication wich to me, is worth more than 20%”

“Thank you so much for watching our baby Boo! He was wore out and was sad the next day he didn't have his buddies around. Next time we come to Washington we will book again with Jennifer. She did an amazing job and he loved staying there!”
“She took great care of my dog Damian! He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Communication was smooth, and I really appreciated the updates. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.”
“Olga did such a great job watching Appa! We were extra nervous bc we had had a poor experience with a different sitter leaving Appa outside all day in the heat and him nearly dying. I didn't think I could trust anyone again after that, but we eventually found ourselves really needing a sitter and I didn't know what to do. After seeing Olga's profile, reviews, and seeing her home and meeting her I felt a lot better. Her house was nice and clean, I could see she was taking Appa's needs seriously. We decided to have her watch Appa. She did a great job reassuring me by sending me pics and videos of Appa throughout his stay and letting me know how he was doing. I could tell he was so happy in the videos. He has a lot of energy and Olga played with him a lot. He came home tired out from a full day of playing. I would highly recommend Olga to anyone and would use her services again!”
“Amber took amazing care of Lili! This was my first Rover experience so naturally I was nervous. I was also worried because Amber had big dogs that I wasn't sure my dog would get along with. Well, I didn't need to worry at all! Amber's dogs are calm and very well trained and got along great with Lili. I LOVED getting pictures and updates. It is very clear that Amber is an experienced dog owner, and treated Lili like her own :) Lili got so much attention and love, will book again!”
“Elaine took the best care of my girl. Sadie is old, overweight, and not in the best of health so having peace of mind that she’s well taken care of and having a fun day makes me feel less stressed about leaving her for the day.”
“Katrina is a gem - quick responses, and was very easy going and willing to roll with it when I (embarrassingly) forgot my dog's bag of lunch, toys, etc. the first time I brought him over. I don't think he even missed his things, given how well her place is set up for dogs. The big, fenced back yard is a dream!”
“Morgan was absolutely wonderful with Vader! You could tell he loved her. She walked him frequently and gave him lots of love and us lots of pics. Would absolutely highly recommend!!!”
“Leslie is awesome to work with. We started with a meet and greet and then Toast stayed with her for daycare. She was very communicative, and was wonderful with Toast. Sometimes he can get really excited and stressed with too much time with other dogs, but when I picked him up he was relaxed and happy. We'll totally book with her again.”
“Angela and her family have been wonderful and communicative during Charlie’s first week of daycare. As it generally takes Charlie some time to settle into a new routine, this has been the smoothest transition I have had. 100% recommend Angela for daycare or pet sitting needs.”
“Chelsey was absolutely amazing! She saved my day by accepting my last minute request within 3 hours. She took incredible care of my pug Hulu, and her own pug, Nigel, was so friendly and welcoming. Hulu had such a great time playing with them that she didn’t even want to leave!”

“Morgan has been reliable, communicative, and fun to work with...she is clearly very fond of our Mini Schnauzer Archie, who is a challenge. We are new to town and Morgan's visits have allowed us to get out and have fun. happy Holidays, Morgan!”
“Zane has been very helpful for our two dogs with walkings during the day while we are at work. It is especially more complex as we have a 3 month old puppy who is still in training. Zane has been reliable and communicative throughout the day while we are away.”
“Kayla has done a fabulous job. I had a knee replacement surgery and the next day after I asked her for help. She has walked my dog every single day for a half an hour. She is prompt. He is happy when he comes back and she sends me a few pictures every day. I feel confident that she can handle my 70 pound dog even if he sees a rabbit.”
About: I have lived on a farm ever since I was a child. I have raised dogs, cats, goats, pigs, chickens and waterfowl. I have done dog 4-H for 13 years. In that time I have shown toy and standard poodles. I love bonding with and taking care of animals! I am available to pet-sit/house sit/dog walk Monday through Sunday. So plenty of time to give your pets the quality attention and care they need! In your home, I aim to maintain your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, medication, and playtime are all done on schedule. I also keep the home tidy and secure while you’re away. For dog walking, I walk in areas that you feel comfortable to have your dog walk in. Communication is important to me, so I send regular updates and photos to help you stay connected.
“Madeline came by to get the dogs zoomiez out so they didn't spend too much alone time being mischievous. I'd recommend Madeline and hope to work with her in the future!”
About: I still have few spots available in May, June and part of July, so book your pet sitting now! Sedro-Woolley, Bellingham and Mount Vernon! As a school bus driver, I work 6-10 AM, then have few hours break and go back to my afternoon drive 2-6 PM. To ensure proper care for animals, I like to book clients no further than a 30 min drive from Sedro Woolley. Please take this into consideration when looking at a sitter for your pets! The school year ends June 12th and I am available until mid-July. Afterwards, I am taking time off for my own motorcycle travels (this time to Colorado) and then spend August in Europe :) I have owned cats, large dogs (100 + lbs), and horses over the years, so I'm well-versed in handling a variety of pet needs. I am comfortable around animals and can stand my ground with them. I enjoy large breeds and, having two 150Lbs + dogs before I know how hard it is to find someone to take care of them! I am available for short and long term stays in Whatcom and Skagit counties. Dogs, cats, horses, turtles and fish - all welcomed and loved! I work as a school bus driver, so I leave the house early in the morning for few hours, then have 2-4 hrs off and then drive the kids home in the afternoon, usually 2-6 pm. If this is something that will work for you and your pet family, please reach out! I usually do a greet & meet before to make sure that everyone is comfortable! I will follow the directions you give me, be it giving medication to your pets, putting it in the crate at night or when away and any other rules that you may have.
“Kayla is excellent with my normally reactive dogs. Having another person help me walk the dogs more frequently has helped them be less reactive to others. I appreciate this service so much! Thank you, Kayla!!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and love them more than anything! I have lots of experience, 20+ years and have been doing Rover on and off for 12 years now and have also been pet sitting for multiple different repeat clients for the past 15 years. I have taken care of many pets with special needs as well, including cats. We have the sweetest 4 year old 14lb Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who loves making doggy friends of all sizes. They will never be left alone for a long period of time and will have lots of outside time if they enjoy that! We have a large fenced in yard. I'm available for overnight stays in my home, day care and also available for daily drop ins or to take your pup for walks. I'd love to take care of your animal any age and whatever needs he or she may have! I'm currently home full time so I have lots of time with your pup and they won't be left along for long periods of time. I have a large fully fenced in grass yard for pups to play or relax. I constantly keep an eye on all of my visitors inside and outside.
About: I have taken care of different sized dogs and cats since I was 6. I take great care of pets and make sure that they are comfortable. I work remotely, so I am often available for services. I am also available on weekends and holidays, and am very flexible with other peoples' schedules. I will always make sure to discuss and make note of exactly what the client wants. I am very detail-oriented and will do everything I can to make sure I am taking the greatest care of your pet!
About: I have taken care of my dog for several months, kept up with his training and spend time playing. Puppies need extra attention to grow into healthy adults. Adults need just as much affection and some play time. I work full-time weekdays but I am available in the evenings. Saturdays are free for me to play with dogs and take care of them. I can manage keeping up with a dogs training and take care of their needs at the same time! Who needs their dogs loved on or watched over?
“Heidi was great! She accepted a very last-minute request and asked great questions about Nova. She arrived early to meet her and be sure Nova would feel comfortable with her. Heidi brings great knowledge and professionalism to her work. Will call her again!”

About: Hi there! I am an elementary school teacher & during the summers, I like to spend my time outdoors, walking dogs! I have had dogs in my life since I was 6 years old. In my family, we have had dogs from little to big! I have also had plenty of experiences house sitting & caring for animals. I have experience with over night care, bathing, walking & play dates! Recently, I became a Dog Mama to a beautiful German Shepard who is the apple of my eye. In 2018, I was awarded a scholarship for my children’s book, “Ball?” (See profile picture). I wrote this book in dedication to my family dog & best friend, Astro. I continue to write more children’s books about the dogs & animals in my life. I love the cuddles, hugs, & wet kisses. ♥️ I am a primary teacher! School begins late August & ends in Mid-June. I am free during the summers and most major holidays. Please reach out in advance to schedule any visits on holidays. I will not be hosting any dogs in my home at this time. I prefer to walk dogs in the great outdoors! I also offer drop in visits. Thank you very much.
About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had this special bond with animals. I was always the one neighbors/familt friends would call to walk their dogs, feed their cats, or look after their birds and reptiles. It just came naturally to me, and I loved every minute of it. Those early experiences really sparked my passion for animal care. As I grew older, I wanted to make sure I was the best at what I do, so I took lots of courses in pet health, nutrition, and behavior. I believe every animal is unique and deserves personalized care, so I always try to understand their individual needs and personalities. Because of this, many pet owners trust me with their beloved animals, knowing they’re in good hands. I don’t just stick to the basics either. I’m known for going the extra mile, whether it’s staying up all night with a sick pet, finding the best toys and activities to keep them entertained, or just giving them lots of love and cuddles. My home often becomes a safe haven for animals in need, and I’m committed to making sure every pet I care for lives a happy, healthy life. Taking care of animals isn’t just a job for me; it’s a mission I’m truly passionate about. One of the most rewarding parts of what I do is seeing the transformation in the animals I care for. Whether it’s a rescue dog learning to trust again, a cat recovering from an illness, or a bird that starts to sing joyfully, each success story fuels my dedication. I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of animals, each with its own story and needs, and it’s always a privilege to be part of their journey. Over time, I’ve built a reputation in my community for being reliable, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Pet owners know they can count on me not just for basic care, but for a level of attention and love that makes a real difference. It’s not uncommon for me to receive updates and thank-you notes long after I’ve cared for someone’s pet, which always warms my heart and reaffirms why I do what I do. Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue expanding my knowledge and skills in animal care. There’s always something new to learn, and I’m committed to staying at the forefront of best practices in pet health and well-being. My goal is to keep providing top-notch care and to be a trusted resource for pet owners who want the very best for their furry, feathered, or scaly family members. I work as a veterinary assistant at a pet emergency center, where I interact with animals of all kinds on a daily basis. In this fast-paced environment, I have gained extensive experience handling emergencies, assisting with medical procedures, and administering medications. My role requires me to stay calm under pressure, adapt quickly to unexpected situations, and provide compassionate care to animals, no matter how challenging the circumstance. When I provide care for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to maintain the pet’s daily routine and ensure their comfort, health, and safety. I take every measure to reduce stress, provide consistent care, and keep owners updated throughout the process. To achieve this, I follow the guidelines below: • Feeding & Hydration • Meals are provided according to the pet’s regular schedule and portion instructions. • Fresh water is checked and refilled at every visit. • Any dietary restrictions, allergies, or special feeding requirements are strictly followed. • Medication & Special Care • Prescription and over-the-counter medications are administered exactly as directed. • Detailed records are kept for medication administration. • Any ongoing medical conditions, treatments, or post-operative care instructions are carefully monitored and followed. • Exercise & Enrichment • Dogs are walked according to their energy level, leash behavior, and owner preferences. • Playtime and enrichment activities are provided to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. • Safety protocols are always followed when outside the home (e.g., secure leashing, avoiding unsafe areas, monitoring for triggers). • Health & Behavior Monitoring • Pets are observed closely for any changes in appetite, energy level, behavior, or bathroom habits. • Any signs of illness, injury, or distress are documented and reported to the owner promptly. • If needed, emergency veterinary care will be sought in accordance with the owner’s instructions. • Home & Environment • Litter boxes, cages, or designated potty areas are cleaned and maintained as instructed. • Pet areas are kept tidy, and any accidents are cleaned appropriately. • I respect the client’s home and belongings, ensuring cleanliness and security during each visit. • Communication & Updates • Owners receive regular updates, including written notes, photos, or videos upon request. • Any concerns or questions are communicated promptly for transparency and peace of mind. • Emergency contact information is kept on hand at all times. By following these standards, I am able to provide reliable, professional, and compassionate care while ensuring each pet feels safe and loved in their own home.
“She took care of my babies when I went to Hawaii. After the first day she hurt her leg and was very upfront with me about it, even asking if I wanted to use someone else. I chose to stick with her and she let my dogs out to potty the whole week even on crutches. Honest and reliable person!”
About: Hello! I have cared for animals almost all my life. I have a lot of experience with all kind of animals! I use to manage a dog kennel in California, until I had to move. Due to my husband being in the military. At the kennel I administered medication, thoroughly cleaned animal messes and we even walked dogs everyday! We also did doggy daycare! I managed the kennel for almost 3years. I have also studied animal behavior and animals just tend to be comfy with me. I'd love to meet your critters! -Ashley My little family just moved here! We have 3 dogs of our own (2 big and 1 small) all of them are very friendly and love other animals! I am available for boarding, preferably in my own home, but we will figure out the best plan for you and your pet/s! I also have a fairly large backyard, Perfect for a good game of fetch! If you're interested in dog walks, every walk will be at least 30 minutes long! I have a large amount of availability! I have a large fenced in yard! My 3 dogs are very friendly and social with other animals ( I socialized them a lot with doggy daycare) they really enjoy playing fetch and chasing each other! If that's something your dog would not be interested in then I'd be more than happy for him/her to have their own playtime outside with me only! My neighborhood is right by a doggy friendly lake and has plenty of walking space!
