Reliable Pet Care with Love

I had two felines for over 15 years but they recently passed away. They were my best friends, but they hated dogs, which brought me to Rover. I love dogs big and small, from german shepherds to a Maltese, I have never had the living situation to have one. I understand the importance of a routine in a dog's life and want to make them as comfortable as possible, especially when their human is not around. I love taking them out to play in the park or snuggling on the couch. Depending on the dog's needs I will take them for a short or long walk. We will make a plan catered to your specific pet. I have experience with giving medicine. I have experience with walking, overnight care, and in-home pups. I've always wanted a dog, let me give yours all the love I have to share.

Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately, I can no longer offer home care in my house. For pet parents, I will arrive within the designated time, greet the pet with a warm hello, check the water to make sure it is clean and full, check the food to confirm the amount eaten, take the puppy outside to relieve itself, and/or change the puppy pad if required. Give the dog some good scratches and pats and maybe a treat if available. If the dog wants to play tug-o-war or fetch I'll do some of that too. I would like to tailor the visit to the dog's routine, so as not to cause any undue stress.

Sara was great. She was available for my dogs even when it was a last minute thing. Highly recommended.

Sara did a great job. From the pics she sent, it looked like our cat warmed up to her easily, even climbing on her lap for pets (which is rare!). This made me feel so much better about being away from her.

Sara R. performed 4 drop-in visits for me over 3 days. She followed the instructions I left for her, left food in my cats' favorite places, and did an all-around good job taking care of my cats. I would definitely recommend.

First time using Rover and Sara exceeded my expectations. Communication was great and we loved all the pictures and updates on our fur baby. Definitely recommend!

Sara is the first sitter I used after moving to Fell's and she was great! I could tell my pup had an awesome time with her, she even took him to the beach! My pup can have anxiety when I'm not around and he seemed totally fine with Sara, will definitely use her again! :)

Is your puppy a socialized dog with other dogs? Does you dog need long walks? Does you dog have a specific path they are use to or a favorite spot? What is their favorite game to play? (tugorwar, catch, tag) What is there bathroom schedule?
