As someone whose work often keeps her tethered to a computer, having four legged furry friends around is a pleasure. My husband also enjoys interacting with dogs. In fact, he generally gives the dogs 2-3 walks per day. When the weather is warm I love to hang out with the dogs in the backyard and take pictures of them interacting with elements of the yard, especially the waterfall, and one another. If I'm working and able to go outside, I leave the door to the deck open so dogs can sun on the deck as they like and/or go into the yard. Daily rate is for any 10-hour period between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. Rate includes regular outings to the backyard plus snacks as permitted. We prefer two dogs max plus our own. Nightly rate is for any 24-hour period. Two walks are included. While we prefer dogs be crated overnight, they may roam freely in the living, dining and kitchen areas of the house. We do not enjoy dogs who demand to be on our bed at night. Let us know if we may be of assistance. It is important to us for you and your puppy have the best possible experience. Be sure to include picture(s) of you and your dog on the Rover website and to complete your profile for the quickest response. Also, please ask if you need to negotiate the rate after your dog's first sleep-over.
