I would prefer to come to your home and keep things as low stress for your animals as possible. Walks for dogs, pets for both, and anything else we discuss.

Information Sara H. would like to know about your pet

How friendly is your dog with other dogs? Do they have any special needs? Do they have medication I need to know about? Is there anything special about their diet? Do you have a vet on file in case something happens?

A typical day

Fetch and walkies, either at Mueller park, Beverly Sheffield, or the Domain dog park, socializing with other dogs as appropriate for your animal. I'm also ready to travel through your neighborhood.

Pet care experience

I love dogs and I would love an opportunity to be able to care for your dog while you're away. In order to not interrupt your dog's routine, I can come to your home and take care of your pup when you need. I'm available most times and while I haven't had a dog of my own in a long time, I still try to keep myself educated on dog care. I've had cats for years, and I know that dogs take a lot more one on one time and personal care to be happy and healthy. Even if I'm not as experienced as some, I have an overwhelming eagerness to learn about animals. Please consider me in taking care of your unique dog's needs.

Sara was incredibly accommodating and flexible! Great communication before, during and after the pet sitting. Would recommend and hire again!

I missed my cats while I was away, but felt so much better knowing Sara was taking good care of them.

Sara was an amazing dog sitter to my 2 Labradors. She followed all food and medication instructions, took them on walks when it was cool, and sent me pictures! I loved getting pictures of my girls. She stayed overnight at my house, and she also collected my mail, put the trash containers at the end of the driveway on trash day, and brought any packages into the house. None of these were part of her dog sitting duties. I was very grateful to Sara for all of her help. I will definitely use her again in the future, and I highly recommend her as a responsible dog sitter.

Sara was so great! My little dog has social anxiety and wasn't eating. My sister-in-law dropped off some wet food and Sara gave me updates of my little pup eating her meals. Our other dog is really shy and doesn't like to get close to strangers. By day 4, Sara was able to pet her! I appreciate all of the effort Sara put into making our dogs comfortable while we are away.

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.
