Vet Tech & Animal Lover!

Hi, I'm Sage! As a former veterinary technician, I have worked professionally with animals in both routine and emergency situations, with additional experience as a wildlife sanctuary volunteer and as an owner of many species over the years. [Services for exotic/farm animals offered privately.] At home, my husband and I have 2 dogs and 80 acres of land to explore. I can't wait to meet you and your fur babies!

Sage took great care of my dog. She was very easy to communicate with and made it clear that his comfort and safety was her top priority. She sent regular updates through the stay and was flexible with pickup and drop off. Will definitely book again!

Doggy Day Care • Nov 12, 2025

First time for Norah away from home and Sage handled her well. Definitely will use her again. I feel comfortable leaving her with Sage.it was nice to get updates on her stay and helped us worry less about our pup. I’ sure she will grow more comfortable with her next few visits. We will definitely use Sage again and hope to make this a regular thing every few weeks. Thanks Sage!

Safety, trust & environment

At my house, boarding dogs are never left outside unsupervised. Boarders (and their belongings) are also never left alone with my own dogs. All pets are only fed their own food/treats and are never given human food. Boarders sleep on their own beds in a guest room unless a crate is provided. I encourage bringing beds, toys and other comfort items to make boarders feel more at home.

Pets

A typical day

"During drop-in visits, I like to give dogs as much outdoor exercise as possible. Indoors, I love giving plenty of attention and cuddles - even to cats if they allow it! Accidents happen, so I have no problem cleaning up after pets and always appreciate cleaning supplies left somewhere easy to find. At my house, boarding dogs may get to play in a large fenced-in yard or go for walks down long forest trails. During the summer they may even get to play in a kitty pool or sprinkler! Inside, I have plenty of toys and two friendly dogs who can be playmates or be kept entirely separate if necessary."

"Besides general feeding/potty routines, owners should inform me of all special needs. All medications and necessary supplies (such as insulin syringes) must be provided and listed in the chat. Owners must be able to prove that pets are up to date on all vaccinations. Boarders' regular food must be provided to avoid GI upsets. Owners are expected to inform me ahead of time if their pet has any negative bahaviors I should be aware of (i.e. "will bolt out the door", "is food aggressive", etc.) Safety requests from owners are strictly adhered to. I also have my own protocols, such as not taking dogs outside without a leash or fence. Some pets may be too anxious away from home or aggressive towards other animals and would do better visited at their own home. I have no breed preferences and base my judgements on the temperment and needs of each pet. I typically only board one family's pets at a time, so boarders are never crowded or neglected. Questions regarding my practices should be addressed in the chat before booking confirmation."
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
