Pet care experience

Reliable & caring dog walker

What sets me apart is the care and attention I give to every pet. I know every pet has its own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved. I’m active, responsible and patient person, who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets. Whether it’s a walk, playtime or simply keeping them company. I always follow owners’ instructions carefully and provide regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Doggy Day Care • Oct 10, 2026

Sara did a great job watching Mia, providing many updates and taking many beautiful pictures. She also was very kind in gifting Mia with a beautiful bandana for Halloween. Sara is one of the best dog sitters we have ever found on Rover!

Dog Walking • Oct 08, 2026

Sara has been walking Wallace consistently for a few months now. I met her in the building we both live in and booked her through Rover just so I could leave this review. She’s the best dog walker I’ve ever had, and I’ve been very fortunate to have all great dog walkers. Sara is always on time, reliable, and most importantly, she genuinely loves Wallace, and he loves her too. Every time she comes into my apartment, he brings her a toy, which he only does with a few people he’s ever met. She also checks his water bowl without me asking and refills it and stays afterward to pet him and hang out with him because she genuinely enjoys being with him and loves dogs (she also loves cats, by the way!). Wallace is reactive to certain dogs on leash, and I’ve never had to worry about Sara handling him, which says a lot. I completely trust her with him. She’s also communicative and sweet and always sends several pictures and videos without me asking every single time, even though she knows I trust her and she’s walked him dozens of times. In summary: Sara is excellent. She loves dogs (and is also obsessed with cats but I don’t have a cat), she’s reliable, communicative, and caring. For Sara, this is an “I love walking and I love dogs so this is my dream” type thing for her. She goes to every dog event our building has even though she doesn’t have a dog so she can pet and play with all the dogs. I’m actually worried about leaving this review because I don’t want her to be so booked she doesn’t have as much time and flexibility for Wallace anymore since I tend to schedule last minute, but she deserves this. I’m also not one to leave reviews often.

Doggy Day Care • Oct 07, 2026

Sara did a great job watching Mia and provided updates unprompted. She was also quick to respond to questions and provided a lot of beautiful photos. I also liked that Sara asked about Mia's routine and then followed it.
