Safety, trust & environment

I understand the most important thing when interacting with a new animal is learning how to read their body language and show every pet with respect. I understand everyone is different, and can adapt my interactions with them to make them the happiest and most comfortable.

Information Sara E. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any special requests ahead of time and I'll do my best to accommodate! This includes any special behaviors, location preferences for doing their business during walks, where they like to be pet, etc.

A typical day

For every dog walk, something I try to do is get them nice and tired with some running! This includes jogging some laps back and forth in your neighborhood, yard, or wherever we're walking!

Runner & Healthcare Worker

Pet care experience

**I will run 2-4 miles with your high-energy dogs for an additional rate! I am a distance runner and know some dogs want to do the same. +$5 for a 2 mile run (30 min), +$10 for a 4 mile run (60 min). Feel free to message for more details :) - For all furry friends with regular bookings, I always make sure to get some laps in during their walks when they want to so have some fun and get nice and tired - I grew up with large dogs and currently have two crazy cats of my own, and am comfortable with pets of all sizes! I've cared for animals in all periods of life from fostering puppies & stray kittens to caring for a medically complex senior dog. Working in healthcare is a plus because a mess never scares me!

Sara is such an amazing pet sitter! She took care of our 2 cats and I am so glad we found her. One of our cats got a recent asthma diagnosis and she was so patient giving him his inhaler. They got plenty of play time, love and we got a bunch of cute photos too! She is very responsive, and gives very detailed updates every visit too. We were honestly so nervous to get a pet sitter, but having Sara taking care of our babies gave us so much peace of mind from the start. I would 100% recommend her!!

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.
