Availability
I currently work 7:30 to 4:00 Monday through Friday at a public school, so I am free anytime outside of that for walkies and check ins as well as boarding! I have a 2 acre property with a fenced in back yard, as well as a temperature controlled garage with kennel space. Dogs are turned out to the backyard several times a day, and weather permitting they can stay out for hours. I spend a lot of time with them when they first arrive to make sure they're comfortable and so I get an idea of their energy level and temperament. Depending on how many dogs are in the home at one time, they may also be allowed inside the main part of the house for some couch time and snuggles.

About Rowan S.

Safety, trust & environment
I would care for your pet by firstly making sure their basic needs are met - food and water and the potty. Then I would see what mood they're in- playful, tired, excited, anxious, etc., and give them the appropriate amount of attention that they're feeling. I love to play with animals but will not force them if they're not feeling it. Same with walkies, if they're feeling a long one it's cool, if they seem over heated or tired or grouchy, we would probably head back. In my home I take care of your pet as if they were my own. I deeply care for animals and give them a lot of attention to make sure they don't get anxious or nervous and are having a good time.

Information Rowan S. would like to know about your pet
It is very important for me to know if the dog has any specific triggers or things that he/she does not like so that I can avoid them. Knowing their behaviors when they are agitated is important as well so that I can make sure to keep it a fun environment for them. I do know dog body language, but we all know that dogs are also individuals with their own personalities so some may have a different way of manifesting emotions than others.
A typical day
What I would do with the dogs depends on their mood and energy levels at the time. If they're feeling very energetic and need to get the wiggles out, I could play fetch with them, play on the floor with them, teach them how to high five, I could also teach them to sit if they are receptive to learning. When going on walks, I try to make sure that if it's sunny, we go somewhere that has some shade. I don't mind walking around on sidewalks as long as it's not too hot. Also, I will supply bags for poop scooping and dispose of that appropriately. At my home, I follow whatever feeding regimine you have in place for your dogs. They get outside time first thing in the morning and before bed, and weather permitting, good stretches in the afternoon too. I also sit outside with them or inside the garage kennel space and play with them for long stretches, or just keep them company on a couch or floor if they're tired or in a more cuddly mood.

Pet care experience
I've been surrounded by animals since I was born! I grew up in a household where we always had 3 dogs and a cat or two. As an adult I had my own dog for 11 years but sadly he lost function of his back legs and I had to have him put down. I care deeply for animals since they have been a part of my life as long as I can remember and they have always been there for me when I needed them. Now I can be there for them when you need me! I live on a two acre property with a fully fenced backyard and my kennel space is a converted two car attached garage with hookup to the HVAC and it's insulated! I watch an average of 3 to 5 dogs at a time, holidays being a bit busier. I have a good amount of regulars but I'm always happy to meet new people and add new dogs to my rosters! We can set up a meet and greet where you can bring yourself and your dogs to come meet me and see the space your dogs will be in. Usually this helps them be more comfortable for drop off. If you have any questions please let me know and I hope to meet you and your furry companions soon!

Reviews
Rowan was absolutely amazing. We were referred by a friend and this was our first time boarding our dog with her. We received updates and pictures. Our baby suffers from anxiety and Rowan took such good care of her. I highly recommend her!
Wonderful as always! This visit I had my newly adopted pup stay as well. She did wonderful keeping me updated and ensuring all the pups were comfortable. I will absolutely use her for a sitter anytime I am away.
As always we could trust that Rowan would take care of our boys while we we on a day trip. Thank you for peace of mind.
Rowan was amazing! She sent photos and videos throughout the stay and made sure my dog was comfortable throughout! Highly recommend as a sitter.
