Extremely friendly and accommodating. Our dog was well cared for and we received several update photos. Loving care defines his stay with Sara.

Sara was fantastic with both Milo and Duke. We were visiting in the area and left them for the day while attending the airshow. Sara sent several pictures throughout the day and we could tell both dogs were having a great time. Duke had lots of play time with her dog, Nemo, in the fenced in backyard and Milo enjoyed cuddle time inside.

Sara is fantastic! Our lab was in great hands with her and was even comfortable enough to eat during her short overnight stay! Sara kept us posted with lots of pictures and regular updates. Highly recommend!!!

Sara was absolutely amazing with my dog, Brewster, from Friday through Tuesday! She went above and beyond—sending me several updates each day along with photos that showed just how pampered, comfortable, and happy he was in her care. The pictures spoke for themselves: Brewster was loving life, relaxed, and clearly enjoying his time with her. I also appreciated how close she was—just 10 minutes from where I was staying in Rome, GA—which made everything even more convenient. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Sara if you want peace of mind while you’re away!

Sara was incredible! She responded to communication quickly. Her home is so clean. The yard is fully fenced. She had a calm and reassuring manner with my 2 young Cavachons who were extremely nervous since they have never been separated from me for more than a few hours since I work from home. I could not have been any happier and will definitely have Sara watch my girls again once our move to the area is complete.

Schedule

Pet care is part of my daily routine, not just an occasional activity. As a stay-at-home mom, I am home throughout the day, allowing me to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate weekdays, weekends, holidays, and many last-minute bookings.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and can crate your dog if requested or needed. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and household routines to help your pup feel comfortable and stress-free. My home includes a friendly resident dog, a cat, and a child who has grown up around animals, so I only accept pets that are comfortable in a family environment.

Pets

A typical day

Every day includes plenty of attention, exercise, play, and relaxation based on your dog’s individual needs and energy level. We enjoy supervised outdoor time, play sessions, enrichment activities, potty breaks, and lots of affection throughout the day. Dogs are never left wondering when they’ll get attention—they become part of our daily routine and family while they’re here. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates so you can see how much fun they’re having.

Please let me know about your dog’s personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, fears, and any behavioral quirks. I also like to know how they interact with children, dogs, and cats so I can ensure a safe and comfortable experience for everyone. The more information you provide, the better I can make your dog’s stay feel like home.
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.
