Pet care experience
Purrfect sitter for your fur babies
My dog and cats might be jealous of extra pet smells when I get home, but the joy I feel from caring for animals is worth ALL the side eye. I have a genuine love for all animals! ❤️ I spend the majority of my time working as a sitter through Rover, and I am looking for new clients in the San Diego area 🌴 I truly enjoy caring for pets and have 3 fur babies myself. I have worked in pet stores for years and have centered my career around conservation/biology/animal behavior. I have gained valuable knowledge and experience from caring for many different types of pets and personalities. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, kittens, puppies, senior dogs/cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, birds, fresh/saltwater fish, reptiles, and amphibians. I can administer medications to pets and have patience from my experience in wildlife rehabilitation. I am able to quickly understand the likes/dislikes of animals in order to provide them with the best care possible. I know a shy cutie when I see one! I also have experience working with senior and disabled (paralyzed, blind/deaf, etc.) dogs. I enjoy bringing peace of mind to owners with any special needs/requests for their pet. I love interacting with pets and taking photos to help pet parents feel at ease and comfortable with the sitting experience. I am very patient, kind, and trustworthy from years of pet-sitting for friends, families, coworkers, and Rover for 1.5+ years. I have pets myself and know what it takes to feel comfortable with another person caring for them. I hope to exceed your expectations in keeping your pet safe and happy. I like to plan a meet and greet whenever possible for new clients in order to help get to know your pet and their needs/quirks. I am very communicative and hope to develop a strong relationship with you and your pets! 🐾

Safety, trust & environment
I love taking photos of pets for parents; I know it helps me feel at ease seeing those adorable faces when I’m away! 🐈🦮 I send detailed notes during each visit- I like to provide updates on what they have been up to or funny traits I’ve noticed. I take great pride in caring for pets inside their homes. I understand some pets and parents may be hesitant to welcome a new person into their home. I hope to get a chance to meet you and your pets to build trust and allow space for any questions/concerns/special instructions. I love taking care of pets and am a very tidy, trustworthy, and communicative sitter. I hope the reviews from my previous clients will be resourceful in your search for a sitter ☺️
Ratings and reviews
Sara was amazing! She gave great detailed updates! Took lots of pictures and made sure my babies were taken care of! Highly recommend her to everyone!
First time using Rover in years…Sara was super communicative during the visit and I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands!
Sara took such great care of our cat! I would definitely recommend her. Thanks so much for the detailed update. We know our kitty loved having you care for him.
Sara took excellent care of our cats while we were away for a long weekend. She was timely, communicative and caring! We especially loved the photos from her drop-in visits and the surprise of themed Churu toppers on their wet food bowls. We would highly recommend Sara.
Thank you so very kindly Sara! 🙏 We will remember you for next time we need a cat whisperer! I'm so impressed that you even got my brother's cats to come out and interact with you! Bravo! He mentioned they'd probably just stay hidden the entire time! Thank you for also staying the full hour each time. I appreciate your compassion and honestly. ❤️ Victoria
Sara is the best of the best. She was the first person to ever watch our cats and now we feel very comfortable going on trips and having her watch our babies. Our cats LOVE Sara and they have so much fun when she’s there. Sara goes above and beyond with their care. She knows exactly what they need with their feeding schedules, routines, playtime, and giving them much needed attention and cuddles while we’re gone. Sara has excellent communication skills and responds very quickly. What I love is that she takes so many pictures during each visit and writes a very long and detailed note of how the visit went. I could not recommend her enough and will definitely book with her again!
