Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced pet sitter available!
I can't remember a time in my house that we didn't have at least one dog snoozing in the sun somewhere. When I was a kid I was less the caregiver and more the wrestling and tag partner, but I watched my mother raise two dogs from puppies with equal parts love and discipline, and rescue a third off the racetrack who could barely walk on linoleum floors without shaking with anxiety. Dogs are the most welcoming, forgiving, nonjudgmental living things anyone could share a home with. I would like to help keep home feeling like home even when the pooch's parents are away. I'm used to every energy level, from border collie to greyhound, and every size. I have experience with all ages, from puppy to oldie, and whatever degree of discipline an owner could want or a dog could need. I want to keep things as stable for your pets as possible.

Safety, trust & environment
I offer whatever care the owners ask of me; the more I can make your pets feel like you aren't even away, the better. I can drop in for feeding times and walks, or I can spend the majority of my time with your animals if you feel that would be preferable for their wellbeing.
Ratings and reviews
Sara is the best! We’ve used her in the past when we have gone out of town to watch our fur babies & the house. She does a great job doing both. The dogs & cat love her 🫶🏼 If you want peace of mind while you’re out of town I highly recommend using her!
Sara was great! She sent pictures during her stay showing all the fun activities she did with Wally. The house was left in perfect condition. It was awesome not worrying about my "boys". Highly recommend!
Sara provided a wonderful service while we took a two week vacation. We have kennelled our two black labs in the past and due to health issues this was not possible. We looked to Rover and found Sara and what a find. She bonded with our dogs immediately on meeting for the first time and listened to all the information on their issues. She is attentive and very personable.When we returned the dogs were relaxed and at ease. Sara made our vacation stress free and took care of our labs and the house like her own.Definitely recommend for pet and house sitting and will look to her in the future
Sara did a wonderful job taking care of my girl. She kept us updated and was very flexible when our plans changed. I highly recommend her!
Sara has grown up with dogs since age 4. She personally adopted a rescue greyhound at the age of 12. He became her best friend. She had completed several dog sitting positions during breaks throughout college, and had been invited back by multiple employers. She loves dogs.

Schedule
I am very flexible at the moment. Weekends, weekdays, mornings, evenings and overnights are all possible, as well as drop-ins, walks and play sessions. Anything you need to keep your pet happy.

- I need to know how comfortable the dog is with strangers, how territorial they tend to be, if they ever demonstrate food aggression and if they have any no-pet spots. I am a dog person, but it only takes one English mastiff charging out of a dark room with teeth bared to remind a person that every dog is different.
