Reliable DC pet care

Pet care experience

Growing up on a farm, I was lucky enough to be surrounded by animals from an early age. My family adopted several stray cats and dogs over the years, and I spent many hours walking, grooming, feeding and entertaining these lovable family members. Since moving to DC, I can no longer have any pets of my own, but would love to get my daily animal fix by caring for yours! I’m coming back to Rover after some time away and looking forward to meeting new neighbors. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and love big and small dogs alike. Having cared for senior and handicapped pets in the past, I am happy to work with high-need pets and will make sure they get all the attention and love they deserve.

Sara was a great dogsitter! She was amazing with Crosby and provided lots of updates. Our guy seemed like he had a great time.

Sara took great care of my cat for a long weekend! She took tons of photos and videos and sent updates so I always knew what he was up to and I had peace of mind that he was getting a lot of play time and attention. I hope she can watch him again next time we leave town!

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding request, I am only able to board cats or small dogs at the moment due to my building’s size requirements for pets. I live near several dog parks and trails which are ideal for daily walks

Information Sara K. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know your dog's energy level for walks, how they get along with other dogs, any training behaviors you're working on, and any medical issues I should be aware of. Thanks!

A typical day

I am an avid walker/hiker and, for active pets, will happily use pet sitting as an excuse to spend more time outside! If your pet is more excited by time on the couch than long walks, I’ll be sure to build in time for a few cozy naps. I’m also happy to help support any training regimes you’re working on.
