“As always I can trust our girl Maple with Ky. Maple loves her and Ky “gets” her. The last visit our little drama mama was having some emotional issues with some excitement around the house before we left. My picked up on that and was rock for her. This time it was the first time one of us had to leave for a work trip and knowing Ky was going to visit was a relief. Ky took the extra step to try and get Maple to eat something, noticing her breakfast bowl was still full. And as always, great photos!!”
“We had such a great experience with Deborah! From the start, it was clear she really gets German Shepherds—and Maple absolutely loved her. You can tell from the photos that Maple was happy, well cared for, and had clearly been running around getting all her wiggles out. It’s wonderful to find someone who connects so naturally with our baby girl. So grateful to have found Deborah and already looking forward to our next visit!”
About: I’ve owned seniors dogs, puppies and everything in between. Jack Russell Terrier to English Mastiff. I’ve also owned cats with diabetes that required insulin daily, neurotic quirky animals we’ve had to adapt to, chickens, goats, sheep, bearded dragons and other reptiles. We are an active family and Hilo goes most places with us. However, there are times he must stay home in his covered kennel or inside depending on weather. We enjoy the rhythm of our daily routines just as much as all of our animals. To keep it humming everyone works in concert sharing the load of responsibilities.

“Faith is clearly an animal whisperer. My super-shy cat that usually hides from sitters when I am away made her acquaintance on the first drop-in. Great with the chickens, too.”
About: Hi there! I'm Sara - a 31 year old Master's student and dog mom to a German Shepherd-Lab mix named Austen. I love and understand dogs. In addition, I do a thorough job of sorting out logistics to understand whether your dog is a leash tugger or chases cars, to avoid common walker pitfalls. I also give ample playtime, belly rubs, and brushing to foster a happy pet and avoid excess shedding, I have had three dogs so far-- a Border Collie, German Shepherd, and Australian Shepherd, so I can handle small to large size dogs. I know how to strike a balance between being playful and in command with intelligent, affectionate, and energetic dogs. I am highly responsible and not above cleaning up after dogs and giving dogs medicine when needed. Of course, I also enjoy treating dogs to off leash time in the dog park, tug of war, and meal time with a slow or fast feeder. I look forward to keeping your dog company and will keep your house in order to boot. Dogs bring out the best in all of us so I hope to treat yours with the care they deserve! Pleased to meet you.

Sara G.
“What can I say? Sara is great!! She's helped me take care of my dogs and cats over the years. She's reliable, trustworthy, and my dogs just adore her! While I'm out of town I can trust that my dogs are getting their daily dose of walks, treats and love. It's always nice to see the dogs get excited for a sitter (or "super dog nanny" as I call it). :-) Once I had not left enough dog food to cover for the time I was away. Sara went out and bought the exact brand they where used to. It was a huge relief to know that my fur babies are being well taken care of, even when I totally drop the ball. I highly recommend Sara for your dog sitting needs. Thanks Sara for being an awesome dog/house sitter.”

“Alex took great care of my 2 old cats. She gave them their medicine each visit and played with them too! I couldn’t be happier that I found her through Rover.”
