When sitting, I try to not schedule any other events so I can be with your pet as much as possible. During the week I work 8a-5p with an hour lunch. On the weekends I normally leave it open for pet sitting and will not go anywhere besides a random errand if needed.

Pets

Dog lover w/ veterinary experience

Pet care experience

•Worked at a dog kennel for 5 years •Two years of veterinary school before pursuing another career •Years of animal handling and care experience •Comfortable with all breeds and temperaments •Price negotiable based on number of animals, temperament and amount of care needed •We can discuss hours of care upon request. During the week I have a full-time job from 8a-5p. I have an hour lunch that I could walk pets during. On the weekends, I try to be with your pets as much as possible. I may need to run random errands. Your pet won’t be unattended for longer than you are comfortable with. We can discuss what your specific needs/wants are prior to pet care. I treat all dogs as if they were my own. I know each person cares for their pets in different ways and I try to accommodate any requests made •I live with my fiancé, who is a big animal lover. I will be taking care of your pets, but for full transparency like to let you know there’s another person in the home. I also have a cat, she minds her own business. I can always keep her separate from your pets if they are not good with cats.

Wonderful experience with Sara! She took very good care of two 5 month old rowdy golden retrievers; she gave wonderful updates and I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying if the dogs were well cared for. Will book 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.
