Pet care experience

I have housed and cared for my neighbors frenchie for two months + drop ins for potty breaks, food and water, play, and occasional walks. I regularly helped dogsit a family's friends medium size dog as a kid. I am most comfortable with small - medium sized dogs, and I'm new to rover! I'm a huge animal lover 🐾 and would love to help out and keep your pets company when you need!

Sara is super responsive, responsible and helpful with my 5 month old rescue pup. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker!

Sara was amazing!! She cared for our little mochi as if she was her own. I highly recommend using her for all her pet care services.

Sara is a diligent and caring petsitter. Having watched neighbor's pets for extended periods of time, she takes her work seriously and makes sure animals are properly taken care of and well loved. Would highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I am a huge pet lover and love to play and care for a diverse range of breeds. I am dedicated to ensuring the safety of your pet while you are away, and prioritize following any rules of care you need/prefer. I believe alls pet have diverse personalities, and I have a personal interest in animal behavior, so my desire is to have respect for you and your pets while making sure they are happy and comfortable. I do not have any experience with assisting with routine medical care (injection, wound care, etc.) However I am able to give oral medications and supplements if needed.

Information Sara D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has special needs and/or needs specific attention. I can help out with simple care needs such as giving oral medical/suppliment as needed, and ensuring to protect your pet of any safety concern (allergy, activity, etc..). I am quick to learn if your pet requires any other special attention that I have not practiced yet, and you would have comfortable me doing. And of course any particular behavior to look out for with your pets personality (what's normal vs abnormal, reactivity around other dogs and people on walks, any particular action you want me to take. Etc...

A typical day

Whether you have a dog who enjoys spending low-key quality time (cuddles, pets, light play, and more), an energetic dog who loves running and active play (outside activity/play, walks, tricks and cognitive stimulation), and anything in between. I cater to what you want for your pet, and what your pet enjoys, whatever that may entail. But in general: I love going on walks of varying lengths around the city, this could include walks in the boston common, the boston public gardens, the fennway (and any other green and open spaces in the area that you prefer!). I am open and willing to do whatever activities you think would be best for your pet, this includes heading to any parks, dog parks, and areas of the city you and your dog enjoy. If you have toys you know you pet likes, I will gladly put them to use ☺️. I am able to provide some basic toys if needed as well, upon request. I like being active! So if you want your pet to get some good exercise in, you can count on me. I love enrichment activities such as practicing tricks, helping out with maintaining training practices if desired, and much more.
