I (Sarah) am experienced with pets of all types, sizes and ages. I grew up in a family that raised German Shepherd dogs, volunteered at animal shelters, and I have worked at a kennel as a dog handler and at a zoo. I own my house which has a fenced yard so The dogs can get plenty of exercise. I have two dogs of my own who like to play with others but they generally will leave less playful dogs alone. I am patient enough to work with senior pets but energetic enough to work with young, high energy pets. I have experience administering medicines orally, along with knowledge of animal behavior from a Bachelors degree in biology and working with animals. I am able to spend a lot of time with boarding dogs during their stay and we can play in my fenced yard. I am also experienced with small pets including guinea pigs, rabbits, reptiles and more and can pet-sit them too. Reid also lives with me and is an active part of our Rover team. He grew up with Akitas, labs, and Afghan hounds. Between the two of us someone is almost always home to care for the dogs!
