Pet care experience

Animals soothe my soul!

I have had dogs and cats pretty much my entire life. I have cared for neighbors and friends animals many times. I got my Goldendoodle as a puppy so I have a lot of experience with puppies. I have no problems administering medication if needed.

Brillo had a fun day with Sara and really stayed by her side. It’s all good.

Sara took care of our pup, Kit, and we are very happy with how she cared for her. Great communications, and we’ll plan on using Sara services again in the future. She really seems to care about the dogs.

Sara is excellent! This was my first time using Rover. Sara came and met the pups before booking. The dogs loved her and Sara kept me up to date with each visit to include pictures of the dogs. Highly recommend Sara and will use her again in the future.

This is my third time booking Sara to watch my cat! I will look to continue to use her in the future when I’m away - her visit updates put me at ease when I’m away from my cat and Sara does a great job with following my pet’s care instructions!

Sara has been a cat sitter for my little Chumley twice now, and she's been just great! He's been happy and healthy when I come home, and I can tell he's been fed and his box has been cleaned. She's the only sitter I'll book!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very large fenced in backyard with privacy fencing. I have a 9 year old goldendoodle who loves to play with other dogs. I have 2 daughters ages 10 and 15 that both love all animals and give our dog a ton of attention. I really enjoy doing drop in visits and spending 1x1 time with my clients pets.

I would like to know what breed your dog is, what size, if there are any medications or any other information I should know. If your dog is good around children and other dogs and cats. Any previous aggression towards other dogs is important as I do often board dogs from different families at the same time. If your animal has a specific routine such as eating times that would be helpful too. I want your animal to be as comfortable as possible in your absence.
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.
