What’s Included for $80/Night:
 8 PM - 8 AM: I’ll stay in your home, providing overnight care and companionship.
 8 AM - 8 PM: I work from home, so I’ll generally be around during the day! Occasionally, I may step out for other jobs, the gym, or personal commitments, but never for more than 4 hours, always scheduled around your pet’s potty breaks and needs. Constant Care Option - $120/Night:
 Does your dog have separation anxiety, or do you prefer they have company throughout the day? For an additional $40/day(flat fee), I can offer Constant Care, meaning I’ll skip my usual daytime outings to provide continuous support and company for your pet. Please note that Constant Care is best for dogs who can’t be left alone for more than 2-4 hours. For dogs comfortable with short absences, my standard rate is often a perfect fit!

Safety, trust & environment

I like to take extra precautions when caring for pets. For walks, I ensure they have appropriate gear for the weather, double-check its functionality and security. If there's a yard, I'll make sure all exits are closed and secure. Before leaving, I ensure all doors are locked, and I do one final check to ensure your pet is comfortable and there are no potential hazards.

Information Sabrina S. would like to know about your pet

It's important for me to understand your pet's behavior upfront to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for them. Are they comfortable around other dogs, or do they get anxious in social situations? How do they react to loud noises? Knowing their recall abilities helps me plan safe outdoor activities. If they tend to pull on the leash, let me know if you provide a gentle leader. Additionally, are there any specific areas they dislike being touched? This insight helps me tailor my care to their preferences.

A typical day

I love taking dogs to parks, though I avoid dog parks with other dogs when I can. At the park, I enjoy playing fetch and running around with them, while also ensuring they have ample time to explore. Additionally, I have experience with various enrichment activities, including food games and DIY games.

Pet care experience

Experience Before Rover:
Since I was young, I’ve always been surrounded by dogs! My family had two Ori Peis and a Bichon/Shih Tzu mix, so I got plenty of experience caring for dogs of different personalities and needs. After college, I began working at a pet supplement company, which gave me hands-on experience with various breeds and their unique health requirements. I love using this knowledge to provide personalized care for each pet I watch, ensuring they feel comfortable and well taken care of. Experience with Rover:
I joined Rover in March 2024 and have had a blast time watching dogs all around Boston, Somerville, Charlestown, and Cambridge. From puppies to seniors and small to large breeds, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and needs. I’ve been lucky to build relationships with many repeat clients (and their dogs!) and am always looking forward to meeting new furry friends.

We feel like the luckiest pet parents in the world because we found Sabrina! She took the most amazing care of our pup Louie and sent the most thoughtful updates with tons of pictures! We didn't have service a majority of our trip away, but felt 100 percent confident she was taking great care of Louie. She left our apartment squeaky clean which was amazing to come home to. Thanks again Sabrina, you are the best!!

Sabrina was absolutely wonderful with our pups. She was in constant communication with us, sending photos regularly and clearly very loving to the dogs while we were away. She also took great care of our home - cleaned up and washed the sheets before leaving, which was such a nice treat to return to!
