Athletic Sitter With Fenced Yard
I'm a chemist turned Rover sitter, specializing in training, sitting, and walking dogs of all ages, sizes, and levels of demand. My last dog got me onto Rover - I poured much love into training and caring for my Great Dane full-time before he passed. With my newfound free time, I teach STEM to K-12 learners, serve as a Director at a Great Dane rescue organization, and volunteer at an animal shelter. (This also means LOTS of disinfections and showering before and after I go anywhere - especially your home - trust that I diligently do everything in my power to keep your furry baby and their space clean, safe, and in good health!) I have a flexible schedule, an athletic background, and loads of energy (along with a competitive Oura Circle with my husband) for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. I've attended AKC Star Puppy, Teen Puppy Obedience, CGC, and Therapy Dog training with my dogs, and am now working towards a training certification. Caring for a sick Dane entailed safely carrying a 150-lb dog into and out of a car, administering medicine, post-op incision and wound care, communication, and record-keeping of his daily health observations. Volunteering at an animal shelter has conditioned me to care and advocate for animals exhibiting a range of behaviors and wellness states.

Ratings and reviews
As always, Skylar did an amazing job with our Finnegan!
Skylar took wonderful care of our dog, Penny. She communicated well, asked questions about Penny’s routine, likes and dislikes and scheduled a meet and greet prior to booking. During our time away, she provided texts and photos about Penny - it made us feel comfortable. I know Penny was well cared for and happy while we couldn’t be with her.
Tien-An was great with our dog Poppy. I could tell from all the great pictures and notes that she shared that Poppy was very comfortable, happy, and well cared for!
Skylar was amazing as always with Finnegan. He is a bit difficult at the start of any of our absences but she handles everything well and kindly. Lots of great photos and updates every time as well!
She took excellent care of my sassy fur baby while I was out of town for a family emergency. Highly recommend
Skylar has been doing a great job with my often shy and unsure Portie😊. Highly recommend😊

Schedule
Thanks to my loving and supportive husband, I have a very flexible schedule to do the things I love! My only two commitments are running around the yard with the most precious Lab twice a week (S.O. Lacey boo) at noon and two hours of volunteering at Lollypop Farm. I serve my rescue directorial role from my laptop, so your dog will never be left unsupervised for an extended period. Please keep in mind that my availability is secured by payment and not by time of request.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In Your Home: Shoes are always off, and muddy paws are always wiped when entering your home. I always start our session by pup & home wellness checks before play, and I always finish with wind-down scratches before I leave. No poop or messes are ever left behind or undocumented. I send an average of 5-7 photos per visit, and you’re always welcome to request more photos or videos to feel confident that your pup is having their best time. Doggy daycare: I own a 3,000-square-foot ranch-style home with easy sliding-door access to a fenced-in yard with a heated pool that opens in the summer! Our home areas are thoroughly dog-proofed, free of tripping and choking hazards, toxic plants or cleaning agents, and access to food or trash. The entire play area is visible from the kitchen while prepping food and medication for your pup. Minimal traffic on our street makes for ideal loose-leash walking trips. When not playing, your dog can enjoy watching doggy TV on any of my six (or seven?) orthopedic dog beds.
Pets
A typical day
Walks or jogs on the low-traffic streets by our house or in your neighborhood! We will play with whatever toys you provide - frisbees, balls, tugs, or just running around doing recall with treats. If you're working on a specific skill, I'd be happy to strengthen it with short, rewarding training sessions - make sure you provide enough treats! I am respectful of your dog's boundaries while physically affectionate: Lots of scratches, but only if they like it.

- 1) Please keep in mind that my availability is secured by payment and not by time of request or time of Meet & Greets. There may be a surcharge for dogs with history of aggression and destruction. 2) For the health of your pets and pups at my local shelter, please make sure your dog's vaccinations, ALLERGY, and vet info on file are up to date. I am not responsible for communicable diseases your pup is not vaccinated (or administered preventatives) against. 3) Puppies don't have to be fully house-trained, but they should be trained to consistently exhibit signs (and be motivated by training treats you provide!).
