I worked for 7 years as a teacher. I started doing Rover in 2022 when I started taking classes for a career change. I was in grad school from 2024-2026 and recently started a career in speech language pathology. I still adore animals and can help with your pets in the evenings, some weekdays, and most weekends.

Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable visiting your home to cuddle and play with your cats or dogs, walking dogs (including big strong dogs!) or playing with your dog in your yard. I will also happily run or hike with your dog. I am an incredibly active person myself and enjoy having a buddy to play, walk or run with.

Information Sara J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has a favorite activity or game, prefers walks, hikes, runs, or sitting in the park or yard, can say hi to other dogs on walks or should observe from a distance, and whatever else I need to make sure your dog has a great time!

A typical day

I love providing the love and attention that your dog needs. We can visit a park near my house, the quiet winding streets of your neighborhood or mine, hike the foothills, or go for a run if that is your dog's jam.

Caring Dog Walker and Sitter

Pet care experience

Since college, I have taken care of the dogs, cats and farm animals of friends and neighbors. I also grew up with cats, dogs, parrots and a mix of different small furry creatures. Now, with my experience as a teacher, I am very observant of the needs of animals (not all that different from kids!) and am an incredibly caring person. My boyfriend and I have an 80 pound loving energetic dog, and taking care of him provides me immense joy. I am excited to extend the same love and care towards your pet.

Sara did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats while I was on vacation. They have a pretty specific diet and medication routine, and she did an excellent job following all of my instructions. She was also great about communicating while I was away, keeping me updated and even letting me know right away about a small fridge leak so I could address it. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cats were in such capable hands. I would recommend Sara to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and communicative pet sitter!

Had a bit of a misunderstanding with the timing of when we wanted to have her come over, but got it figured out. She accidentally broke a bowl but was kind enough to replace it! Followed our instructions and kept up with food, water and plant watering. Super nice person!

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.
