I run my Rover business alongside my adult son, Reuben. We both work remotely and one of us is home every day of the week. There will be times when we are out of the house taking care of responsibilities, but your pets will always have adequate supervision and play time out of the outdoor and/or indoor kennels. The timing of the play time may vary depending on the day.

Safety, trust & environment

My backyard is fully enclosed and there is a lock on the side gates for safety. During the day, Rover dogs will be outdoors in my newly refurbished kennels. Each outdoor kennel has enough space for dogs of any size to feel comfortable. I can host two families of dogs at once, up to three dogs from one family in an outdoor kennel. There is adequate shade in each kennel, as well as water, a doghouse and cot, and shelter from the elements. Rover parents are encouraged to bring along their pets' favorite toys, stuffed animals, and blankets for their comfort. Rover dogs will get at least two play times outside of their outdoor kennels per day in the large, fully enclosed backyard. Rover dogs will be kept separate from each other, as well as my personally owned dog, at all times, unless socialization is requested and agreed upon by Rover parents. Details of socialization will be discussed on an individual basis. At night, Rover dogs can either sleep comfortably in their outdoor kennels, or, if preferred, indoors in an indoor kennel, proved by Rover parents. Again, Rover parents are encouraged to bring along their pets' favorite toys, stuffed animals, and blankets for their comfort.

Information Sara P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs your pets may have, as well as any medication that is required to be administered. Additionally, please let me know of any behavioral issues, so that necessary safety measures can be utilized.

A typical day

I will check on all Rover pets first thing in the morning to ensure everyone is comfortable and has their morning meal and fresh water. If any Rover dogs slept indoors in a kennel, I will let them out to stretch their legs and secure them in the outdoor kennels for the day. By mid-late morning, all Rover dogs will have their first play time, where they will be let out of their kennels to run and explore in the backyard. I will engage them in any playtime activities that they enjoy. In the late afternoon I will again engage and socialize with the Rover dogs before tucking them in for the night. I will administer any meds as needed throughout the day and feed morning or evening, as instructed.

Pet care experience

I've been around pets since I was born. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks, and pigs. As an adult, I have owned dogs, cats, ferrets, a rabbit, birds, a hedgehog, along with various lizards and fish. I am very comfortable around all dogs, large and small. I currently have one medium sized dog in the house, along with two, sometimes three, cats. I have kept elderly dogs through their senior years and am experienced with proper medication disbursement. As a former military spouse of 21 years, I would be glad to host dogs for an extended period, including military deployments, and take care of things such as routine grooming and vet visits as needed. Discounts for extended stays are available.

Sara is awesome, we did a meet and greet and felt very comfortable leaving our dogs there! She sent pictures and updates multiple times a day, we will definitely use her again.

Sara pays attention to the dogs she is taking care of, noting their likes and dislikes. Wonderful experience for both dogs and their humans. Sara has her own pets that love her and you can tell that they are healthy and loved. We all felt very comfortable at Sara’s.
