Safety, trust & environment

My cats are indoor only so I'm responsible for literally every facet of their lives, health AND happiness, and I love everything about it. I will treat your kitties the same way! Their comfort and happiness is number one.

Information Sara K. would like to know about your pet

I have a bad knee so running and hiking are difficult for me, so I might not be the best pick for a very high energy dog, but normal walks are no problem.

A typical day

I'll do whatever your dog and cat enjoy the most, whether it's tug or tag or fetch or even just snuggle sessions! You tell me what they love and I'm on it.

Pet care experience

*****Not currently taking new clients SPECIFICALLY who are looking for recurring services every week! I do a lot of one-off house/pet sitting all over southern Maine, which is my first priority, so it's difficult to commit to a recurring walk/visit right now when I am not always in the area due to away jobs. House sitting, random drop in visits, weekends away, random walks all welcome! And always feel free to ask, just know that if you want a long-running recurring service, I may not be the one for you!***** I've had cats and dogs my entire life (I'm 40). My very first job at age 10 was a pet sitting/dog walking "business" I created in my neighborhood. I had lots of repeat clients even back then! I worked in human medicine for most of my adult life and even spent a few years at IDEXX vet labs, so I have a lot of knowledge when it comes to any special needs your pets may have. I have a lot of experience with medically complex animals with medication routines, special diets, and very particular care. If your critters are similar, I'm here for you! Plus, my roommate/sister is a vet tech at an emergency/specialty clinic, so I have a backup resource in my pocket at all times. I've learned lots of tips from said sister who has a special interest in dog training and behavior. I'm particularly good at communicating expectations with dogs that aren't always the best at listening, and we always end up good friends in short order! I might not be the cheapest option out there, but you get what you pay for - I have TONS of experience, and I guarantee you'll come home to happy pets and a spotless house!

Sara was awesome! She was fabulous with our reactive rescue pup. We got lots of pics and great communication. Our house seemed cleaner than when we left! We will book her again for sure!! Thank you!

I cannot begin to say how much we have appreciated the care provided by Sara. Her timely communication with human owners as well as feline care skills are second to none. We highly recommend her as a house sitter/cat sitter should you ever need such support!

Sara always provides peace of mind when we travel. So much so that we already have her booked for our next trip. She is a bona fide "cat whisperer" who our middle aged Miss Puss seems to enjoy ... and she is a bit of a neurotic beast so that is saying something. Our family (Miss Puss and all) highly recommend Sara if you need someone to care for your feline while you are away from home.

Sara is a fantastic cat sitter! She is absolutely a "cat whisperer" and we highly recommend her services if you have a finicky or neurotic wee beastie who needs that little bit of extra attention and care.

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.
