Safety, trust & environment

Your cat or dog's safety is my top priority when I care for them. I take my time in earning your pet's trust as all animals warm up to people at their own speed. Having a meet and greet prior to your first service is a wonderful idea. This way, the humans and animals can meet, and they can get to know me and my scent before their pet parents goes away. We will discuss all care needed during our meet & greet together.

Information Sara E. would like to know about your pet

With me, all breeds are loved & welcome! Please update your pet's Rover profile with all of their details. This is the first thing I read when you put in a request. Are they on any medications? How do they behave around other dogs? Is your pet leash trained? Leash reactive? Does your dog pull on the leash? What is care like at home? Do they suffer from anxiety or display aggressive behaviors? Are there any special needs? What are your pet's favorite games/toys/activities?

A typical day

I adore photography and will be sure to send lots of photos of your pet during their time with me. Do you have a training routine at home? I want to learn all about your pet & give them a wonderful experience while they are with me. I give all my pups grain-free treats. Please let me know if your pet suffers from any allergies or has a special diet.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Sara Rose, I took a short break from Rover and have returned to take on new clients. I am an avid artist, animal lover & caretaker. Do you need a visit to your home to check in & feed your pets or house sitting? My experience in animal care stems from a plethora of life opportunities, including volunteering with the SPCA, Pet Alliance & the 4-H Organizations. As well as fostering, farm work, equine care, dog training, doggy daycare, boarding, dog walking, house sitting & canine behavior consultation. I believe all animals are a gift as they live in the moment & help us enjoy the present. I've been surrounded by critters my entire life. I have had many pets, including dogs, cats, various small mammals, reptiles, exotics & farm animals. When you book a service with me, you can expect that your pet will be loved, well cared for & have a wonderful experience. I like to think of myself as the cool aunt that gets to spoil your pets while you are away. I look forward to learning about your pets & working with you! I am a part-time provider of pet care & animal services. When scheduling drop-ins to your home, please let me know a two-hour window that works best for you. I am extremely flexible with all of my pet parents. Please reach out to me anytime with questions or to schedule a meet & greet! When requesting services, please let me know a few dates/times that work best for our first meeting. Housesitting is a great option for owners of multiple pets & those who prefer that their pets remain in the home environment versus facility boarding. My house sitting is a flat fee, with me bringing the fun to you & sleeping overnight in your home. My goal is to keep your pets healthy & happy while you are away. We will discuss the care routine in your home during our meet & greet. If you do not require a sleepover, my house-sitting rate can be adjusted to meet your needs. Due to my client load, I cannot provide 24-hour care in home care. Housesitting is for continuous drop-in care during the day with a sleepover each night. Your pet's health & safety are my highest priority. We do not accept aggressive dogs in our home & all dogs are evaluated during a meet & greet. If you have an anxious or aggressive pup, I have experience & I am comfortable working with & caring for them in your home. If you would like me to visit your home for pet care, please tell me about your kitty or doggo. What services are you interested in? I do drop-ins for general baths and Reiki if needed (Yes, I do feline bathing as well.) I also have canine seatbelts for pet taxi to and from vet visits if needed.

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.
