Pet care experience

The animal whisperer!

I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, small animals, and many kinds of pets over the years! I’m an experienced animal lover- from feathers to scales to fur and everything in-between. I’ve owned multiple pets, including cats, rats, guinea pigs, fish, and dogs, and I’ve loved every single one. I was in FFA and took small animal care classes in school. I’m able to entertain your animals, exercise, medicate, and love on them just as well as if you were home. I am experienced and skilled in high/special-needs animals, whether anxious, reactive, energetic, exotic, young, or old, and I prioritize maintaining their usual routine. I am doing Rover full-time and considering a degree as a veterinary technician. I want to pet sit because I can love on animals and get more experience while saving up for college!

Safety, trust & environment

I am very experienced in reading animals’ body language and provide specialized care for anxious animals or those that may need extra love and attention, such as seniors or anxious/reactive dogs. I like learning all I can about the animals I take care of, and have a strong eye for detail if they have quirks or different needs so that I can accommodate them perfectly. I understand being away from your pets can be stressful- you can count on me to provide consistent communication and updates/pictures throughout the day, and please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to make you and your fur family‘s experience as comfortable and enriching as possible!

Sage is the best! This is her second time watching our boy and she does an amazing job with him. He is so nervous around new people, but Sage has already won him over with her care! Cant recommend enough

Sage was wonderful! Our boy slipped away and she brought him home safe and sound. I highly recommend her! She is so caring and loving towards our nervous guy!

Sage was lovely as a person staying at our place as well as taking care of Griz. She communicated effectively, kept us posted, shared pictures, helped train Griz (he’s only 4 months old), took good care of Griz and eased the mind of an owner first leaving his pup. We will use her again. Thank you!

Sage was fantastic, they cleaned up after themselves, was a great communicator, was super patient with my anxious pup. Couldn’t ask for someone better, will definitely be asking them back!

Sage and Aidan watched my 2 dogs and cat for 3 nights in my home and followed all of my requests to a T! They also send my regular picture updates. Fantastic!

Because I’m doing Rover full-time, all of my attention will be on your fur family! This allows me to spend time with your pets and give them all of the love and attention they need, and even provide constant care for high-needs animals, such as puppies, elders, and pets with separation anxiety.

Sage can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Let me know your animal’s temperament, specific dietary needs, daily medication, favorite spot to be scratched, or if they need a higher level of care or attention. Whether they’re anxious, high-energy, or reactive, the more information the better so that I can give your companion a blast while you’re away!
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.
