Happy dog, happy life!
Pet care experience
I absolutely love all dogs, and I am ready to give your pups all my love, care, and attention! I have loads of experience sitting and caring for dogs of family members, friends, and roommates, and am a previous dog foster-mom myself! I fostered numerous dogs during the two years I lived in South Korea and here in DC, including multiple dogs at the same time, puppies, and a dog with some serious special health needs. I also cared for my host family's puppy while I was a Peace Corps volunteer in South Africa. My experience spans dogs of all different sizes, breeds, and needs, and am comfortable with every dog I've ever met or taken care of. I decided to become a dog sitter with Rover because I want to spend all my time with your lovable, energetic, adorable, and amazing family members (er, dogs)! I am currently working from home, and have ample time to play with and care for your pup(s). I live in a spacious apartment in the SW Waterfront neighborhood of DC, with dog park on the property and lots of green space for walks nearby. The apartment building allows dogs, and the concierge even has a stash of dog treats! I go for long walks outside daily, so your pup will get plenty of exercise (if they're up for it!), and would love to take a dog on a weekend trail hike if they enjoy that sort of thing! I will love your dog as if it were my own, and would love to send you many adorable photos while you're away. I don't have any pets of my own, so there's no need to worry about if your dog would get along with any of my own pets. I am very flexible with my schedule, and am happy to accommodate any of your (or your dog's) special requests and needs. My apartment is very metro-accessible, but I do also have a car. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions for me! I'd love to meet you and your pup to see if we're a good match!
Reviews
Sara was great! I could tell that Pea was very comfortable with her personally and in her home. She sent loads of pictures of the two of them as well which I love to see when I am away from Pea. I will definitely go back to Sara!
Sara was amazing. We cannot express how thankful we are that we found her. She was accommodating and kind to our dog. I would definitely ask for her service again.
Sara is great! She watched our 4 dogs for us and provided excellent care! I would absolutely have her watch our pups again without hesitation. 5 stars for Sara!
I am in the military and travel often for work. One thing I never have to worry about while I'm away is my dog, because I know he will be healthy, happy and well-cared for with Sara. H is a bit of a high-maintenance boy, requiring several medications and a special diet. Sara has taken wonderful care of H on numerous occasions, providing his medications, taking him on long walks and even keeping up with his busy social schedule at the dog park! She has also been a life... well carpet... saver on those days when I just couldn't make it home from work to let H out. I highly recommend Sara for all your dog-sitting/walking needs!

Information Sara H. would like to know about your pet
No breed restrictions or preferences, I just ask that your dog is house-trained (or pad trained) and is not aggressive. I'd love to know more about your dog's personality, any current training he/she is working on, what they enjoy, how I can make your pup more comfortable while you're away, and any special needs they may have-be it health needs, concerns regarding children or other dogs, etc.
A typical day
Lots of time outside-walking in Rock Creek Park, enjoying the nearby dog parks, long walks to the National Cathedral and National Mall, even playing frisbee and fetch in the park! We can go hiking if your pup is up for that, and maybe a dip in the creek. Of course, lots of love, cuddles, and belly rubs.
