Pet care experience

Experienced with a variety of pets

I am currently a teacher looking for some extra income on weekends and in the summer. My availability is open every weekend, before and after school on weekdays, and completely open in the summer. I grew up having dogs of all sizes. I own two cats and a pit bull/lab mix. My family has a 95 pound American Coonhound mix named Brisket. We just got a new puppy named Teddy! He’s a lab/pitbull mix. My sister who I petsit for frequently has an extremely fuzzy and energetic golden doodle named Izzy. I've been surrounded by dogs since I was born! Taking care of them is second nature to me. My sister was a vet tech for about 8 years so we know our animals are taken care of and I know everything I need to know about proper care for animals, especially dogs. I also have experience working with professional dog trainers. I have been listed as a pet sitter and a babysitter in my neighborhood's newsletter since I was 16. I have experience doing drop in visits, dog walking, house sitting, and even babysitting for families who have dogs! I do have repeat customers that I still keep in touch with today. Animals I have experience caring for include dogs, cats, bearded dragons, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, livestock, fish, frogs, and turtles.

Sara was amazing! She stayed in contact and sent several pics of our spoiled babies. We will definitely use her again.

Sara was absolutely amazing. She was so nice when meeting Kai and took great care of my house too! Sara was a wonderful dog sitter and I definitely look forward to using her services again.

Sara was a great sitter and we really appreciated her stepping in so last minute when our usual sitter cancelled. She listened to all my instructions carefully and responded quickly each time I inquired about the puppers. Sara left the house in great shape and my puppies seemed very happy having her here. Overall a stellar job!

Sara was great! Went beyond the call of duty and took my pet to the vet when she was worried something was wrong with her. I would definitely recommend Sara and Rover. This was my first time with Rover and I couldn't have asked for better results.

I prefer to know all about the fun tricks and commands your dog knows, how much exercise they require, dietary needs, and medication needs. I also enjoy learning about their fun little quirks and what makes them unique!
