Information Sarah J. would like to know about your pet

I would personally like to know of a dogs behavior, activity level and size before sitting for him or her. However, I am confident that any dog that I am set to sit for will be treated as they were my own.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog I plan to spend as much time needed with each dog whether it be an hour or six hours. Extra house-sitting services I am willing to water plants, bring in mail, feed animals and care for other animals as well.

Pets

Responsible and reliable dog lover

Pet care experience

I love animals and have been pet sitting for over 10 years. I have two dogs of my own who are like my children. Am willing to walk dogs, feed, play, and stay with them for however long is needed. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all of my life and really enjoy the companionship that a dog can provide. I have experience with small, medium and larger dogs as well. Having previously owned bigger and smaller dogs, my love for dogs has only grown more in the past few years. My experience administering medication I would be comfortable with administering medication to a pet if need be. If there is a particular way in doing so, that would be most helpful.

Sarah is a dog whisperer! She totally calmed our 8 month old bernedoodle puppy and took such good care of him, including lots of playtime and walks. She also took great care of our house as well. She's awesome and we look forward to her taking care of Ernie again!

Sarah was amazing! So responsive and helpful being up to watch our little pup for a last minute trip we had coming up! She took great care of our guy and he was sooo excited to meet her. Thank you Sarah! Can’t wait to book her again :)

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.
