Pet care experience

Loving your pets like they're mine!

I’ve taken care of dogs all sizes and all kinds. I’ve had a dog ever since I was born and know the responsibility, care, and love that is needed. I also have experience watching cats too as well as growing up with them in my home. I have the ability to take care of diabetic cats with experience of giving a cat insulin on several occasions. I have experience with giving dogs and cats oral medications as well. I can feed, walk, play, or anything else you may want. I’m a lover of animals!

Sara is very sweet. We had a meet and greet with our pups and they liked her immediately. She was at our home when she said she would be and sent updates & pics throughout her stay, Both dogs slept right next to her at night...I am sure she didn't get much sleep! She is very reliable and we will definitely be using her again. She was wonderful!

Sara is the sweetest. She and Benny had a wonderful time together and I am jealous that he slept with her in our bed all night - something he won't even do with me!! She is reliable and really cares for animals. She was unavailable for the last day of our trip and worked with her sister (also a Rover sitter) to stay with Benny for the last night, so that we wouldn't have to kennel Benny. We are super thankful for that. Highly recommend!

Sara was amazing with our puppy. We had a meet and greet and our pup loved her. She was great throughout the stay as well. Would definitely recommend her and have her watch my puppy again. Thanks Sara!

Sara was great! She took very good care of my dog while I was away for the weekend. I would recommend her.

Sara has house sat for our family (one large dog + two cats) for the past several years. She is very sweet and responsible and we know our fur babies are getting lots of love and attention whenever we are away. Sara also helps out by bringing in our mail and watering plants. Sara is a great communicator and I appreciate her help so much!

Safety, trust & environment

I would provide care in your home and allow for your pet(s) to maintain their daily activities as if you were home with them. I would love and care for them just as if they were my own! I know the responsibility that it takes and amount of care that is needed. I know the anxiety and nerves that can come with travel and leaving your pet alone, that is where I can help. I can give you the peace of mind knowing that your pet is safe with me and getting all the attention and love possible. I enjoy receiving pictures of my pets when I am away so I love providing the same comfort to others. I enjoy getting to spend time with others fur babies!

Pets

A typical day

I typically take the dog for walks in the mornings and afternoons/evenings. Something I am very passionate about is loving your pets the same way I love my own. I enjoy looking at scenery on the walks. If they’re comfortable in the car I love to explore new trails! With cats, I love finding out what works for them. Some cats are reserved and to themselves while ohters are playful and are looking for a playmate. I try and match the personality to the best of my ability so I can make them feel as comfortable as possible. I can ensure that your pets will get tons of love and snuggles if they are a cuddle bug!

Please let me know what makes you feel the most comfortable with leaving your pet with me. I know I always love pictures when I am away from my animals so I try to do that as much as I can. If there’s anything else or something special I can do for them please don't hesitate to ask. My job is to make it as seamless of a transition for your pets while you are away, provide peace of mind to you as the owner, and give the fur babies as much love as I can!
