Your Dog(s) Come First

Pet care experience

I am excited to bring my dog-sitting experiences from Washington, D.C. to New York! I've been a dog sitter on Rover for about five years, aside from growing up with dogs. I have sat various dogs, from puppies to elder dogs to injured dogs. I ensure they all get all the kind of attention they need and are being taken care of well that way you can be reassured during your leave. I even had a few clients who didn't contact me for a few days to check in because their trust was fully in my hands! ***PLEASE READ MY IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE REQUESTING MY SERVICES.*** TRANSPORTATION I do not own a vehicle and travel by public transportation. If you are interested in requesting my services but your home is not somewhere near to public transportation then it is not possible for me to travel to your home. WORK SCHEDULE: I work an in-person job and my job is not in the metropolitan area so I may travel between one and half hours to two hours to my job daily. My work hours are 8 am to 3:30, however, I will need to leave around 6 am and return around 5:30 pm. My work schedule might not be ideal for many dogs and their routine so this is why I only offer my services on weekends. UNLESS you have a dog walker/sitter who may come in between then it may be possible for us to work out something. COVID-19 Notes: I am currently fully vaccinated plus a booster.

Sara went above and beyond in taking care of our dog while he had a broken leg and needed extra attention. She clearly loves animals. We really appreciated her exceptional communication and frequent updates on our dog's condition. She also left the house very clean, which we really appreciated.

We had another great house sitting experience with Sara. Thanks for taking care of our pets and home while we were away!

Sara was a new dog sitter for us and we super appreciated how much time and care she took to get to know Bogie and let him warm up to her as he can be pretty shy with new people and anxious when we are gone. She provided great updates and overall felt very comfortable with her and would hire her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I adapt to meet your pets' needs. Your pet love attention? Pets and walks! Dislike too much attention? We'll sit together in silence. I understand and respect that some pets need some time and go at their own pace to get to know someone new. In addition, I ensure I keep your home in good shape, clean up after myself in the kitchen, put things away to where they belong, and communicate with the clients about updates or any concerns that may rise.

Information Sara M. would like to know about your pet

I will ensure to get every details I need to know about your dog(s) and cat(s): Feeding time hours? When to walk? Toys and treats? Behaviors toward other dogs? Special needs? Others? I always take good care of pets, the more I know about your pets' needs, the better I'll take care of your pets. BUT I treat all dogs and cats with love!

A typical day

Playing chasing, war-of-tug, throwing balls, and walks! If there is a park nearby where your dog(s) like to go and play, it would bring me joy to take them there because then I also get to meet more dogs there!
