Dogs + Me = True Love <3

Pet care experience

Hey there! My name is Sally and I am a 26 year old Registered Nurse. I have lived in the Valley since 1999 and love it here. Most recently I have adopted a black lab puppy named Watson who keeps me on my toes, and is friendly with other dogs - albeit a bit pesty with his playfulness! I am a certified but non-practicing animal care aide, and it goes without saying I have medical experience for both animals and humans :) A sense of humor and reliability are my driving forces in all that I set my mind to. These days I am extremely busy with upgrading my schooling to become a critical care/ICU nurse. However, I still hope to offer the Valley reliable and flexible dog walking, boarding and drop ins. If you have any questions don't hesitate to send me a message--I have non-Rover references available if needed too! Looking forward to meeting you and your best friends :)

Sally was amazing! This was my first time using Rover overall, and Sally was the first person to come by our house to care for our puppy while we weren't home. Cedar was super shy, and probably a little nervous about having a new person in our home. Sally took time to sit with her, and let her approach and ease into having her there. We will definitely be booking again, and we are excited to hopefully meet her pupper Watson soon:)

Sally did a good job looking after my dog Yoko.I needed a sitter on fairly short notice but we managed to work out the times ok.Yoko was happy,fed and most important,in my yard when I returned home.Yoko is prey driven and has escaped through a open door or gate given the opportunity.I would recommend and hire Sally again.Tony

Sally has always been utterly amazing with my large, fluffy sweetheart. Always let's me know of she has any question and let's me know what they got up to that day. It's very relaxing having Sally come and care for my pup.

Information Sally R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what routines you have! Or any special quirks, fear triggers, medications of course. If you need me to get Fido to his appointment that’s usually no problem either.

A typical day

walks in your local area or nature parks, runs on the beach, or lounging around on a lazy Sunday if that's what they prefer! Watson loves chasing buddies through the woods.

Availability

I am currently in school upgrading my nursing degree to work in the ICU! This requires lots of travel and extra homework so my schedule is changing frequently and limited - I apologize if my Rover calendar does not always reflect this.
