Safety, trust & environment

I treat every home with the same respect I would my own — only entering areas needed for pet care and leaving everything just as I found it. I maintain cleanliness, follow your instructions exactly, and make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

Information Sara S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your cats have any special needs, medication routines, or behavioral quirks. I’m comfortable with shy, energetic, or special-needs cats, and I always tailor my approach to their comfort level.

A typical day

For cats, I make sure each visit includes feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and plenty of play or cuddle time (depending on their personality). I also always keep a laser pointer on me :) I’m especially experienced with kittens and multi-cat households, including those where pets need to be kept in separate areas. I’ll send you updates and photos every visit so you can see they’re happy and cared for.

Cat Sitter Since 2010

Cat care experience

I started cat sitting for a couple of my neighbors around 2010, providing reliable and loving care ever since. I offer daily or every-other-day visits, once or twice a day, based on your cat's needs. With experience in both single-cat and multi-cat households, I can manage different ages and personalities effectively. What sets me apart: Experience with Medication Administration: willing to giving medications to cats. Litter Box Cleaning: Passionate about maintaining a clean and odor-free environment. Play and Engagement: Dedicated to ensuring your cat gets the attention and playtime they need. Bathing and Grooming: Offering these services for an extra charge, keeping your cat clean and well-groomed. I have two cats of my own with unique temperaments, giving me hands-on experience in managing various cat behaviors. Your cat's well-being is my top priority, and I am committed to providing the best care possible with the same love and dedication I give to my own pets.

Thanks so much for visiting Pepper! I can tell she loved hanging out with you. I really loved the photos and it was very reassuring knowing she was well cared for while I was way.

Sara did a great job taking care of my cat! She took the time to play with her, brush her and send lots of pictures!

Sara is a superstar pet sitter. I'm pretty sure that our cats prefer us being away and having Sara look after them. She spends lots of time making them feel loved and cared for, as well as the basics of feeding and cleaning. She even brought freeze-dried lollypops for them this time - the photos of the cats enjoying them were hilarious. I would definitely recommend Sara to others and will be hiring her again.

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.
