Lover and carer of all pets!

Pet care experience

Hello! I grew up with a mini zoo of sorts—five dogs, two cats, ten fish, two finches, and five canaries. From childhood onward a love for all animals was instilled in me. As a recent college graduate I’m hoping to earn an extra income by caring for other’s furry best friends. I’m a very active person who can take dogs for long or short walks, runs, or trips to the park. I’m also able to administer medication to any pets and have much patience for elderly animals. In my next lifetime I hope I can pursue a veterinary career, but for now I hope to temporarily care for your four-legged friend.

Sara was very considerate and took great care of our three cats! I will definitely be a repeat customer whenever my wife and I are out of town.

Sara was so great with the two pups, which each needed their own, special attention. She was very communicative and easy to coordinate / work with. 10/10 recommend.

Sara was great watching our cat. She gave timely updates every day and we came back to a very happy cat. I would use Sara again in a heartbeat!

To who it may concern, It brings me great joy to refer Sara to become a dog sitter on Rover. Many times over the last year Sara has showed great care, enormous patience and understanding, and compassion when it comes to animals. Whether it be their own dog, whom she shows great care for, or my partners and I elder cat, who she would help take care over long trips, I can without a doubt say that Sara is a perfect fit for this program. She cares greatly about dogs, shows great empathy for animals in all situations, and radiates the positive energy that dogs love to be around. I hope your team considers Sara as a serious candidate for your program as I know they would love nothing more than to be apart of the Rover team.

I live two blocks from a large grass park and very active dog park with a very friendly pup of my own to keep your dog company. We also have an outdoor patio and soft crate if your pet needs some alone time.

Information Sara D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you have any specific requirements for your dog or cat I can address while caring for them! I've cared for dogs as young as 10 weeks old to as old as 17 years old and as small as 5 pounds to as large as 110 pounds. Some things you might want to let me know: Do they have any favorite toys/activities? Any walking route that is familiar to them? Do they have any triggers when walking? Do they have any known allergies? Are they on medication? Any behaviors that I would need to be made aware of? I have no breed preference!

A typical day

I love to physically and mentally tucker out dogs I watch with long walks along trails, throughout the neighborhood, at the beach, and with endless play at the dog park.
