Highlights
Pet care experience
Can I pet your dog?!
I’ve always had pets and causally house sat for other people’s pets. I know that when we can’t be there for our own pets, making sure that they are well taken care of is a huge priority. Making sure someone is there to give them belly rubs, give them dinner on time, snuggling with them, and reassuring them that their person will be back soon but in the mean time they are loved and safe. I want to do all of that for other people and their pets. I am a compassionate, responsible pet owner and will treat your pets like my own! I love to send pictures and updates on how they are doing. A little more about me: In November '24, my Great Dane, Simon passed away. As hard as that's been, caring for other's pups has been very healing and fills a bit of that hole in my heart. Thank you so much for trusting me with the care of your most important 4-legged family members!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I spend a good bit of time just lounging on the couch with doggos! It's so important that they feel safe, cared for and paid attention to. So I find myself talking to dogs a lot. Even if they aren't very chatty :) If it's a client's home I also feel that it's super important to respect that space and leave it better than I found it. If you have plants that need watered, mail to bring in, I'm happy to do any of that as well! I don't typically bring anyone else to your home, and would never do so without your permission. If I need an extra set of hands for a dog walk with multiple dogs, I'll usually ask if it's alright to bring my partner over to help. (She is also a Rover pet sitter!)
Ratings and reviews
Our huskies are so appreciative of their walks with Sara today and can't wait for more! Sara is patient in getting to know each of our dog's personalities and seems to just 'get' dogs!
Sara B has now also met our OTHER new husky and she does so well with them! Sara doesn’t seem to mind a crazy dog mom (me!) who has a lot of anxiety about leaving her babies. Sara is communicative and kind and has such a way with these pups!!!
Sara B. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Another amazing stay with Sara! She always goes above and beyond to make sure our senior pup Sam is well taken care of and our home is left spotless. You can really tell she cares about the pups she is watching and I appreciate her picture updates / communication oh so much! 10/10 stars!
Sara is so patient and understanding of our timid Tali! I know some people might not always be willing to put in the time to get to know a scared pup with a past - and Sara is so willing!! I know she and Tali will be buds in no time. We look forward to working with Sara !!!!
Sara is great and trustworthy! Very communicative and good with my pup. Would absolutely hire her again and again.

Schedule
I'm in the process of starting a business as a Travel Advisor, so I spend most of my time working from home. Meaning your fur children won't be left alone for long if I'm house sitting! I usually wake up around 8 and go to sleep around 11, but will adjust to your pup's schedule. When I leave, it's usually for 1-3 hours at a time to go to the climbing gym, go for a run, run errands, etc... Rover has been a fantastic way to supplement my income and make sure your sweet doggos are well cared for in your absence!

- No breed preferences! I love them all. I would like to know how well socialized they are so that I can keep them safe on walks. And of course, let me know if they have any special needs, quirks, or even just preferences! There's no such thing as too much information about your pup. I want to know how to make them feel comfortable.
