I am currently a full time college student and my classes end in May. I am able to do drop in visits or longer visits and would like to keep your pets schedule the same as it usually is. I am more than willing to discuss times I could go to your home to watch over your pets. I do require a meet and greet for housesitting requests, just to make sure your pets and I are a good fit together!

Safety, trust & environment

I watch and care for animals like they are my own and will make sure they are loved and taken care of. I am also respectful to the owners house and wishes. I would like to keep their regular routine of fetch, play and feeding schedule along with lots of pets and attention to help them be stress free and happy while their family is away.

Information Sara R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your pet has any favorite treats, favorite or hated places to be touched, allergies, and if you have a specific way to feed them? What days and length of time would you like pet care?

A typical day

A typical day would be to feed your pet the instructed amount of food as well as any supplements or medicine they may take. Then we would do their regular routine of fetch, play and/or walking to get their energy out. And lots of pets and attention to help them be stress free and happy while their family is away.

Love all kinds and sizes of animals

Pet care experience

I was raised with cats and German shepherds and I have taken care of friends and family animals for many years. I love getting to know different animals and learning their personalities. I also enjoy working with animals that are not your typical cats and dogs. This past year I have gained experience interning at a veterinary clinic and I currently work part time at an exotic animal sanctuary.

Sara was very attentive to our dogs, gave them plenty of snacks as requested, and gave them plenty of time outside. She very communititive that she would be later then requested, which was appreciated. We are looking forward to using her again in the future.

Sara was wonderful at communication, respecting the house rules and accountability. She got the initial drop in visit start time wrong, but she took accountability and fixed it right away. It's totally fine that mistakes happen, and Sara handled it very professionally. She also posted updates per drop-in with photos, and did call us when health concerns arise like we requested. I would highly recommend her service to others as a very trustworthy sitter. I would 100% book with her again!

Sara did a great job looking after our cat Louie. She kept us informed with how her visits went ans she sent lots of pictures. Louie is shy but did take to her eventually. We will definitely keep her in mind for any future vacations.

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.
