14. Sara G.

“Sara was amazing! I had another Rover in place for my trip over the holidays that fell through at the last minute. Sara answered my call for help immediately! (Not kidding — like within 5 minutes) I took Simon to the Vet a few days before I left to find he had an ear infection. Sara had no problem with needing to give him meds. She was a lifesaver. She’s bright and understanding and flexible, and she made sure Simon would get along with the other puppers in the house, introducing them slowly. She took great care of Simon and sent me updates and pictures. Thank you, Sara!!”

About: We live in a great dog-friendly neighborhood and we have a huge fenced in backyard for your dog to play! I grew up with a dog my whole life and our family has had the privilege of caring for our own as well. I am detail-oriented and I feel comfortable giving medicine or other special care for your fur baby. Our whole family loves dogs and can’t wait to love on your fur baby! I am home full-time and would love a furry friend to care for! I am free 7 days a week and all hours of the day. We have a fully fenced large backyard and our two younger children are excited about helping me to play with and care for your fur baby!
