Pet care experience
I lost my dog of 15 years a year ago. He had pretty bad separation anxiety and lived with cancer the last 6 months of his life. I am OK with senior dogs if they can somewhat control their bowls. I have volunteered for local animal shelters on and off as a foster home and dog socializer. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I love to go for long walks and hikes in our local neighborhood canyon. I use my body along with my voice to communicate with animals. I live in a condo - two level end unit with patio and lots of grass right outside my door. I live alone and currently own a small tortoise which is kept in a private room. I am ok if dogs jump on the couch, I will usually lay down a blanket first. Im ok if dogs want to sleep in bed with me. I can provide references even though I am new to Rover!
Reviews
Sarah is amazing with our 2 very active Australian shepherds! She has been our first choice for pet sitting for us for many years (since they were puppies). They love going to Sarah's house for their vacations. She takes them on walks, play time at the beach, and snuggle time. She even works on teaching them new tricks! I know that they are loved and cared for while they are with her. I recommend Sarah to everyone I know. And if you are just wanting someone to walk your dog, she is the perfect person. She is reliable and on time. It's sure to be the best hour of your dogs day!
I completely trust Sarah with my Yorkie. He has luxating patella in both knees, so I don't leave him with just anyone. He loves her, so I know she's great with him. She's an excellent and reliable dog sitter. Highly recommend.
I have two very high maintenance dogs and Sarah is one of the only people in the world I trust them with. She is kind, responsible and conscientious with animals. My dogs LOVE HER!
Sarah is an absolutely amazing dog lover and caretaker. She has taken care of my dog often for the past 6 years. She once heroically took on my finicky shiba inu for 12 days! He can be high maintainence but Sarah manages his needs with aplomb. He is normally a reserved dog but Sarah won his affection immediately with her gentleness and patience. He gets excited whenever he sees Sarah now. In my experience, Sarah is truly a dog whisper and is also great with cats and horses. She is a dedicated animal lover and is 100% reliable and trustworthy! ?????
