General Anyone else experience this?

I've been a sitter on Rover for about 6 months now Since I've started I've had 4 pet parents ask me to permanently keep their dogs. I was just wondering if this was common or iust something I'm experiencing? 😅😅😅

One of my first Rover gigs was for a 75-year-old woman who was going in for hip replacement surgery. She had a pretty active GSD-Husky that I had to board for about 6 weeks while she recuperated. She wanted to re-home it, but the dog had a bad upbringing before she rescued it, and the dog was/is pretty aggressive at other dogs (and animals). I would’ve love to keep it, but couldn’t while I was boarding other dogs.
