Information Sara B. would like to know about your pet

My lab Juno LOVES EVERY dog; she will be so happy and excited to play with your pup all day long, so playful pups are extra welcome! She’s also a great napper and cuddler for the more mellow :) Thank you for ensuring that your pet arrives clean and healthy, for their maximum enjoyment and comfort. If your dog is a puller, I do require a chesty harness or similar to encourage happy and safe walks. If your pup has a favorite blanket, likes music to be played at bedtime, etc. please do not hesitate to let me know!

A typical day

I love to do a nearby loop on a local trail, and also fit in a visit to a nearby park for big runs when the weather is nice. We do not visit dog parks. For inside play, please provide a few favorite toys and/or chews to keep our friend happy and stimulated!

Sara did an excellent job looking after our cat! She was thoughtful, timely, and communicated well with us to make sure our cat was well taken care of. I would recommend her highly!

Sara (and Juno) were amazing! We could not have asked for a better “home away from home” for our Puffy. Sara kept us updated regularly throughout our trip and sending us pics. She was available to answer and respond to us at all times. We will definitely reach out to Sara again for our future needs!

Sara was great! She took our dog, Max, out for twice-daily walks while we were away for six days. Sara took great photos and gave us daily updates throughout our trip. We felt like Max was being very well taken care of. And when we got back, Max didn’t have any of the anxious, clingy energy he often displays after we return from even a very short trip. Sara was very easy to deal with, too.

I just wanted to thank Sara for taking such great care of Bella. She has been doing wonderful, and it’s clear she always feels happy and comfortable staying with you. We truly appreciate your support and the attention you give her. We will definitely continue using your daycare services in the future.

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.
