Dog Trainer and Animal Lover
Pet care experience
I worked at a doggy daycare for the last three years and I have extensive experience handling and training dogs of all breeds and temperaments, including elderly and disabled dogs. I have 17+ years of experience owning dogs (Newfoundlands and Huskies), cats (Domestic Shorthairs and Maine Coons, one with cerebellar hypoplasia), and rabbits (Netherland Dwarfs). I've been trained in CPR on both dogs and cats and I can administer medicines orally. I love ALL animals (even insects!) and I treat them with only love and respect. You can expect your fuzziest family member to be treated like royalty with me! I understand that each dog has their own unique personality and needs, and there's nothing I love more than getting to know them. I've never met a dog I didn't love!
Reviews
I almost don’t want to give a 5 star review because it may mean we have to fight over Sara more. She has been our go to sitter in our home for several years. Occasionally it doesn’t work out with her schedule and we always notice the difference. Great communication. Great status updates and photos. Can’t say enough.
Sara is amazing! This is the first time we had used her, she came on recommendation from my daughter. We have a 1 yr old and a 4 months old dog/pup. I know the dogs were well cared for, she sent pictures and updates frequently ( I love that)! We will definitely use her again.
Sara is the only sitter I have used from rover and she has always been great! Very respectful of my home and my dogs (the turtle too!)!! I can tell they don’t miss us (too much) when she is there!! Always giving frequent pup-dates and photos too! I would recommend her to everyone!
We have had Sara house/dog sit several times when we were gone for extended periods. I never worry when we go out of town and Sara is taking care of our fur baby. In fact, I think our dog gets even more attention than when we are home and has an amazing time while we are gone. The bonus for us is the many wonderful photos we get of our girl. They will be treasured forever. Thank you as always, Sara!

Skills
Information Sara P. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know of any allergies, potential medical issues, and where to take them in case of an emergency. I'd also like to know what kinds of boundaries they have in the house, i.e. no jumping on furniture, no barking, no licking faces, etc.
A typical day
I like to walk my dogs around the neighborhood - exploring new areas is even more fun with a four-legged friend! If there's a yard then a good game of fetch is always helpful to tire a pup out. When in doubt, a Kong stuffed with peanut butter or treats is good time in my book. If the pup doesn't like too much excitement, that's fine, too - sometimes a good cuddle is all you need!
