Safety, trust & environment

I am a great listener, and a pet’s safety is always my top priority. If you have specific rules for your pet, I will adhere to them. I’m big on checking in the the owners, and sending pictures and updates!

Information Sara N. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any specific needs ahead of time so that I can plan for this or ask questions as needed.

A typical day

When going on walks, I love for dogs to be able to take their time and smell all the smells! We’ll never rush a good walk. And there’s nothing more calming for me (and more exciting for the dogs!) then playing fetch with them or giving them plenty of pets and scratches!

My world revolves around pets

Pet care experience

At 16, I got my own dog and was in charge of her feeding, walking, and training (at home and at class). For 3 years, I lived with roommates who had 3 dogs (ages 6 months to 2 years) and I was trusted to watch them over weekends when my roommates were gone. Now that I’m living by myself, I have my very own 7 month old pup, so I am well versed in puppy personalities! I’m also doing leash training with my puppy, so I am getting a lot of practice with walking dogs and knowing what behaviors to look for. My parents were veterinarians, so I also have a lot of knowledge on pet behavior and health.

Sara did a great job of dropping in on our cat and communicating with us along the way! She gave great updates and we appreciated the pictures.

Sara was super helpful with taking Dizz out for a walk while we were out of town!

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.
