Pet care experience

Caring Pet Sitter w/ Flexible Hours

I have 3 years of hands-on pet care experience with a diverse range of animals, specializing in dog and cat care, with additional expertise caring for chickens, lizards, bunnies, and other pets. My clients appreciate my flexibility, attention to detail, and ability to handle both young puppies and senior pets with equal care and patience. I'm currently pursuing my dog behavioral training certification through GoodPup, giving me deeper insight into pet behavior and communication. I also bring an EVERLIT Pet First Aid Kit with me to every booking and walk—your pet's safety is my priority. What sets me apart is my commitment to exclusive, focused care. I don't have my own pets and I never double-book: your pet gets my complete, undivided attention. I work from home with flexible hours, which means I'm available throughout the day for their needs: morning and afternoon visits in a single day, weekend availability, or multi-week house sitting. This flexibility is especially valuable for puppies, seniors, and high-energy dogs that need consistent attention. My clients appreciate knowing their pet is receiving dedicated care in a calm, stress-free environment where I prioritize safety, respect your home, communicate transparently, and tailor care to each pet's unique personality.

Safety, trust & environment

I always prioritize the safety and well-being of the pets I care for. I ensure they're comfortable, follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, and engage in playtime tailored to their needs. I keep the environment clean, respect clients' homes, and communicate regularly to maintain trust and transparency. If it's my first time caring for your pet, I provide an optional care guide for you to fill out with questions about your pet like walking routes, food schedule, favorite toys, and more. For house sits specifically, this includes questions like where cleaning supplies are located and house care preferences like watering plants and getting mail.

Sara stayed in my home for 4 nights with my dog, Mara, who has severe separation anxiety. Sara prioritized her time with Mara, including not taking on additional clients during her stay, was clear about when she needed to be away from her, and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. Mara was very well taken care of and the house was spotless when we got home. (Sara even dealt with a little ant problem!) Will definitely hire Sara again. Thank you, Sara!

Sara has been great with Mara! We’ve hired her multiple times. She arrives on time, has been super flexible with schedule changes, and Mara loves her!

Sara was great taking care of our dood over the 4th of July. Due to it being a difficult time to find sitters we actually had 3 separate sitters in a row and Sara was right in the middle. Changed sheets and helped prepare for another sitter after her. So appreciative of this!!

Sara was great. She was super communicative and took our long list of care instructions to heart. She was incredibly kind and our french bulldogs instantly loved her. We highly recommend Sara and would love to have her care for our boys again.

Schedule

I work from home with very flexible hours, which allows me to easily accommodate your pet's needs: House Sitting: Full-time presence in your home with availability throughout the day and overnight. I'm particularly great for puppies and senior dogs that need consistent attention. No extra cost for pets requiring constant care. Regular Visits: I'm flexible around your schedule and can easily manage both morning and afternoon visits in a single day. I'm always available on weekends and can adjust timing based on your needs. Flexibility: I'm comfortable with extended multi-week bookings. My work-from-home setup means your pet never feels alone. I'm genuinely present throughout the day, working in your common areas while providing company and regular updates.

Sara can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Prior to your first meet and greet, please let me know if your pet has any sensitivities (sounds, smells), behavioral considerations (biting, excessive barking/growling), medical needs, or energy level (shy and reserved vs. high energy and playful). The more details you share, the better I can prepare.
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.
