Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in an apartment with my partner and four cats. Having a partner in my own home to be with our pets helps me to be more physically and mentally available for my clients, especially for house sitting jobs that may be long term.

Information Sara A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time what the temperament of your pet is so that I can best accommodate them and help them feel at ease while you are away. Additionally, it would help to know ahead of time any special needs (medications, etc.). For house sitting jobs, I find it best if you type out instructions on a document to refer to if you have the means to do so.

A typical day

First, I love to play with dogs and going on walks with them; the bigger the dog the better. Fetch is one of my favorite games to play with a dog. Hopefully, there is a dog park near you. I really feed off energetic dogs the most because, like them, I gotta get my zoomies out somewhere. For cats, I love playing with toys with them and cuddling with them if they are into that.

Pet care experience

I’ve have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I currently have four cats in my home, all healthy adults of 5 years and up that I raised from kittens. Before them, I had a cat for 16 years and a beagle for nine years. As a child, we had multiple dogs and cats and there has been very little time I’ve spent in my life without a pet of some sort.

Sara is great with Dakota and Dakota enjoyed the company! This is my first time having to use a pet sitter while being out of town for work so I was hesitant at first, but Sara eased the nerves and will definitely be asking Sara to watch Dakota again in the future.

We were so lucky to find Sara for our two-week trip. As first-time Rover users, we were a little nervous, but Sara completely put our minds at ease from the very beginning. They were professional, warm, and clearly wonderful with our two dogs. The best part was their communication—we looked forward to their daily photos and updates! It was so reassuring to see our boys happy and well-cared-for. We came home to a tidy house and two very happy dogs. We fully trusted Sara in our home and with our pets, and we will absolutely be booking them for all our future trips. Highly recommend

Sara did a great job watching our dog, cat, fish and house while we were gone for 11 days. They sent regular photos/updates, were very communicative, and the house was clean and cared for when we got home. Our spicy cat even warmed up to them eventually! It was a great comfort to know that our pup was getting his walks and was able to stick to his regular routine while we were away. We will defiantly use Sara again.

I’ve known Sara and been close for almost 6 years. Sara has always been awesome with all types of pets and animals. They currently have pets and my 2 cats have joined the fun! Any pet would have a great time with Sara.
