Pet care experience
I have had a variety of different types of four-legged babies throughout my life from the beginning and can't imagine a world without them! I'm thrilled to be a part of the Rover community, and always appreciate the opportunity to care for yours! As a devoted lifelong pet owner myself, I understand the unique needs and joys that come with caring for animals of all ages, sizes and personalities! Whether your child needs lots of attention or is indifferent, takes medication like a treat or requires a trick, gets along well with others or not…as long as you share what they need to live their best life while you’re away I will make it happen!
Cat care experience
Sara also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Sara went above and beyond when taking care of my cats when I was away!
Sara took care of my cat during Christmas. She provided informative updates and lots of pictures. I would book her again for future trips!
Sara helped me out with very short notice during the holidays and took amazing care of my pup! Would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her!!
Sara was so sweet with Charlie and made sure to Charlie was taken care of!
About Sara S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment and don't have a fenced in yard, but my community has plenty of green spaces and dog park for potty breaks and light walking. I have several repeat clients, some who I have never met in person. I understand it can be unsettling to leave your fur-child in the care of a complete stranger! When doing drop in/walking visits, I will respect your home, your privacy, and your pet(s).
Home
Information Sara S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your fur baby has any special needs or dietary restrictions. It would also be helpful to know a little bit about their personality and what a typical day for them looks like.
A typical day
I love spending quality time with pets in ways that match their energy and personality! For dogs, that might include relaxing walks, gentle playtime, enrichment games, or cuddle time. Since I have some mobility limitations, I’m best suited for pups who are well-behaved on a leash and enjoy a more laid-back pace. For cats, I’m all about respectful attention—whether it’s play with their favorite toys, brushing, or just keeping them company in their favorite sunny spot. I always aim to keep pets happy, calm, and comfortable while their people are away.

Availability
I'm currently not working and am doing Rover full time. While I may step out for an hour or two, I am home the majority of the day. I have a pug pup too and sometimes she comes with me on drop ins if you have a socialized pup who’s down for a play date!
