Pet care experience

Full Time Professional Pet Sitter

I was raised on a small farm in Missouri, where caring for animals was part of everyday life. I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience as a dog and cat owner, competitive equestrian, and professional in-home pet care provider. I am well-versed in veterinary care and highly attuned to animal behavior, with a sharp eye for anything out of the ordinary. I have experience with a wide range of breeds and temperaments — from toy breeds to large working dogs — as well as pets with separation anxiety, behavioral considerations, and ongoing health needs. As a pet parent myself, I understand how personal this trust is, and I care for every home and animal with the same discretion, respect, and compassion I expect for my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I am fully background-checked, privately insured, and always include a complimentary meet & greet. I approach every home with discretion, respect, and professionalism. I do not smoke and take pride in maintaining a clean, orderly environment — often leaving homes as clean or cleaner than when I arrived. My goal is to provide the same level of care and consideration I would expect for my own pets and property.

Second time booking with Sara, and she is the best dog/house sitter I’ve had. Great communication and frequent pictures/updates throughout the day. A true professional, highly recommend

Sara is everything you want in a sitter: communicative, smart and cares for your pet like they are her own. I couldn't have been happier with Sara during our long weekend away. We didn't have to worry about our sweet boy when she was taking care of him.

We just went on an 8 day trip to Hawaii and Sara was the first dog sitter I’ve ever booked. I have a 100 lb German shepherd who can be a little intimidating at first so finding the right person was so important. Sara made me feel more than comfortable about my dogs quirks. She was able to squeeze in a meet and greet as well as a drop in that week so I could get my sitter plans finalized. In all honesty, I was very anxious about leaving my dog and Sara was so patient with my questions. The last 7 days my dog had been so happy to see Sara and she gave me so many updates. She is the only person that I’ve trusted to walk my dog without me. I will absolutely plan to use Sara again in the future for trips.

Sara was phenomenal! I can’t recommend her enough & will definitely be using her again. My little Nora is typically shy around strangers, but warmed up to Sara in no time at all. She got some of the cutest play and cuddle shots 📸🐾 and seeing my cat enjoying their time together made traveling and being away so much easier :)

Sara did an amazing job taking care of our dogs overnight for 4 nights. She is responsible, communicative, and responsive. She sent daily pictures and updates, and took great care of our pups. Our house looked the same as when we left. I highly recommend.

Schedule

After beginning my career as a corporate accountant, I recognized a clear need for truly reliable, high-touch in-home pet care. Pet sitting has been my full-time profession for over two years, allowing me to offer dedicated, attentive care tailored to each household. I intentionally limit my bookings so your pets receive unhurried, individualized attention and your home remains calm, secure, and well-looked after.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Sara can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs such a medication, food allergies, training rules, or any habits I should be aware of. During house sittings I plan to spend the majority of my day at your home. However, I do ask that dogs over 2 years old are comfortable with being left alone for up to 5 hours at a time. I am able to accommodate shorter times away for an additional fee.
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.
