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 • Nov 13, 2026

Sara was amazing with Sophie! She took great care of my pup who was recently spayed. She was very accommodating and patient with all the instructions I provided her too! I appreciated the frequent updates and photos throughout the day. Each night I took Sophie home, I could tell she didn’t want to leave Sara. I highly recommend Sara to take care of your furry best friend!! (Especially if you have a basset hound). I’ll definitely book with her again.

Habanero had a great time with Sara! They became best friends after a short stay and he didn’t want to come home.

Doggy Day Care • Oct 26, 2026

Sara helped save our dog's life. I dropped Mia off when she was a bit unwell with an unknown condition, and Sara immediately let me know when Mia's condition worsened. I was then able to pick up Mia and get her to VEG (Veterinary Emergency Group) in time for them to treat her for dangerously low blood sugar levels. If it weren't for Sara's attentiveness and quick communication, Mia might not have made it. Sara is a star sitter in every way. She provides frequent updates, beautiful pictures, and most importantly, she cares for your dog like she would her own.

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.
