Loving and patient animal volunteer
Pet care experience
I'm 30 years old. I grew up with dogs and cats in my house, and have never really been without one around me. I've been pet/house sitting for friends and family since I was in my mid teens and have been using Rover off and on for almost 8 years now! I also volunteered at the Boone Humane Society while I was living there, and got some great experience being around different breeds/personalities/and animals with special necessities. I'm definitely an animal lover, and am open to working around any special requirements that you or your pets might need. Just let me know! Why I love dog sitting I grew up around dogs! I have loved them for as long as I can remember, and they've always been a good grounding center for me. My family and myself have owned several breeds including Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Dobermans, Huskies, and any variety of mixes. My experience administering medication Yes. I've pet sat for a couple of dogs that needed anxiety or allergy medicine 1-2 times a day, and am comfortable with that. If your dog does need a certain type of medicine, I would just want to triple check dosage/how and when they're used to getting it/if there were any reactions I would need to be on the lookout for.
Reviews
Thanks again for taking such good care of my Cleo!
I was able to enjoy my vacation more knowing that my Cleo cat was being taken care of. Thank you so much!
Absolutely the best fit ever! Very patient and took her time during our adjustment period. Benji was a little anxious. Arrived on time and updated me with photos and happy comments! Highly recommend!!
Sarah walked my dogs while I was at work. She took pictures. I appreciate her.

I am mobile and will gladly help your dog with any of their needs. If you have a high energy dog that loves to go on long walks at a park or somewhere nearby, I have a safety harness and seat hammock in my car for safe transport.
Information Sarah K. would like to know about your pet
I'd just like to get to know their general temperament. I believe that dogs each have a unique personality, and the key to getting along with them and keeping them in order is to understand how they react to things (if they're scared of thunder, or if their favorite thing to do is chew on a bone for hours on end). I don't have any real breed preferences. I've been around larger breeds most of my life, and so I'm used to them, but I truly love any type of dog.
A typical day
This would vary from dog to dog and something I would discuss with you beforehand! What are your dogs needs? Do they have a favorite park or do you prefer to keep them close to home? What are their favorite games? Do you need help reinforcing training and tricks? I will customize our time together to suit your needs best!
