First time using rover
Hi everyone! Will be using rover for the first time next week for our 5 month old golden puppy. We already did a meet and greet and went great. This is the message I wrote for the person coming - I want to make sure it’s clear and not bossy (never done this before so bare with me) please let me know if I should add anything or remove anything. She will be with our pup from about 5pm to 9pm.
Charlie will be in her crate when you arrive. If possible, just close the pen door behind you before taking her out or she may try to make a run for it 😂 We usually wait until she’s sitting calmly before letting her out. Her leash will be on the counter — we normally put it on right away and bring her straight outside.
She’ll likely just pee at that time. If possible, try to keep her on the left side of the grass, but no worries if not! After that she can play in her pen for a bit before dinner at 5:30. Her kibble will already be portioned in the hot pink dish on the counter.
Whenever you’re able to after she eats, a short walk would be great! She usually only tolerates about 20 minutes or less depending on the day. Dog bags and treats will also be on the counter. She’s doing pretty well on walks, but if people ask to pet her, it’s probably best to avoid it since she sometimes tries to bite shirts 😂(bring some treats on the walk!). They will be on the counter
After the walk, you can offer her some water and then put her in her crate for a nap until around 7:30–8ish. When she gets up, she may need to poop if she didn’t already on the walk.
Please take her water away around 8. After that, she can just hang out in her pen with a couple toys. If possible, please take her out for one last pee before you leave around 9. She should also poo at this point but if not, no biggy. Just make sure she’s locked in her crate before heading out.
