Safety, trust & environment

I have a lot of patience and spend a lot of time getting to know your pet. I take into consideration that most pets are nervous without their people so I always go slow with everything I am doing and watch how they are reacting to me.

Information Sara H. would like to know about your pet

I love to have any info about your pet’s personality or silly random things they like or don’t like, as well as their routine. This way I can keep things as familiar to them as possible.

A typical day

I provide whatever care your pet needs. If he/she is young and active we go on several walks and have lots of playtime. If he/she is an older pet or a very scared pet, I focus more on attention and maybe some treats.

Lover of all things furry

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Sara and I would love to help you care for your fur babies while you are away! I currently have 7 years of pet sitting experience ranging from puppies and giant dogs, LOTS of cats of varying personalities, to fish and lizards! I live with 3 cats and 1 dog. My dog is 15 and now my elderly baby. All of my pets are like my children to me. When I adopted a 6 year old rescue cat, with a lot of anxiety and aggression, I didn’t really know what I was getting into. It has taken years to earn his trust. Now I use what he has taught me to effectively take care of other people’s nervous pets. I work in a feline only clinic as a veterinary assistant. I have gained a lot of experience caring for cats and I am able to give medications if needed. Both of my own animals are also on medications. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets!

Sara did a great job taking care of my very shy cat. He came out for her on the second visit, which is very rare for him and tells me that she was gentle and calm with him. She kept me up to date on how he was doing and even took care of an unexpected package for me.

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.
