Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring Dog Walker and Sitter
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.

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.
Ratings and reviews
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!
Sara was communicative, easy to schedule with, punctual, good with our two cats. Wouldn't hesitate to book her again!
Sara is great! We’ve used her multiple times and will keep going back!
Sara was great and took extra good care of our dog, Moseley on a last minute weekend check in request. She played with him and went above and beyond what we had hoped for - making sure our dog had water and that he didn’t bring too much dirt/grass inside the house too!
This is the second time we’ve used Sara, and she’s been great both times! Very communicative and happy to accommodate whatever our pets needed.

Schedule
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.

- 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!
