Loving home w/ aussie playmate

First-ever job was a dogsitter, and I've grown up with them my whole life! I have an active, well-behaved, and playful Australian Shepherd who loves tug of war with humans and fellow furry friends. Always happy to take in playmates for my Aussie!

Stephanie is the best! She was very accommodating when we had a flight delay and needed Sage to stay longer. She takes great care of Sage. Would definitely recommend her!

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.
