Pet care experience

WNC's finest pet sitter!

Thank you for visiting my page. For as long as I can remember, I have devoted my life to rescuing, caring and advocating for animals. This is not a temporary/part time job for me. I am retired from the corporate world so now I get to do what I truly love... spending time with four-legged friends! With me, your fur babies will get plenty of cuddles, one-on-one attention and around the clock supervision. I am fully committed to keeping them company for as long as you are away. Weather permitting and based on your pooches' fitness needs, I will take them on daily walks, if that's part of their routine, and/or provide them with plenty of backyard fun to keep them busy, tired and stimulate their senses. When your pooch is under my care, they are treated as a member of my pack and their well-being is of utmost importance to me. I don't take safety lightly. I have many years of experience with special needs babies, whether they suffer from separation anxiety, repetitive behaviors or have a physical disability. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate your different needs and time frames, even with short notice. I am an experienced, dependable, responsible, loving, clean and enthusiastic animal lover. I know how precious our four-legged babies are and whether in your home or out on a walk, I will treat them with the love, kindness, respect and attention to detail that they deserve! Namaste, Sara W. Please note that I will try my best to respond to a booking request within a half hour of receiving it, unless it is sent after 10pm, in which case I will respond first thing the following day.

5 stars for Sara — she went truly above and beyond during our 7 days away. She carefully gave medications, walked our puppy and 6-year-old separately exactly as requested, and even made extra meetups beforehand to help everyone feel comfortable. We were able to fully relax and enjoy traveling knowing our dogs and home were in such caring, capable hands. Can’t recommend her enough!

Sara was such a great sitter over NYE, and highly recommend her! Recently, one of our dogs has been having health issues and we have been particular about leaving him and finding the right dog care. Sara was so willing to take care of him and even over the holiday. It was a much needed break for us and one we felt very comfortable doing with Sara’s care. Thank you!

Charlie had a great weekend with Sara! Sara dedicated her weekend to making sure Charlie was taken care of, had lots of exercise, and lots of attention. This was my first time using Rover and Sara put my mind at ease by spending time getting to know Charlie and learning her routine and she sent lots of pictures and updates during the weekend. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and she will be the first person I seek out if I need someone to watch Charlie in the future!

I want to know everything about your pets! The more information I have about their personalities, behaviors, preferences, allergies, likes/dislikes, schedules and triggers, the better equipped I am to provide them with the happiest and safest home/play environment. This is why it is very important to schedule a meet and greet prior to booking to find out if we are a good match and establish the best care routine. I strive to make your Rover experience with me memorable and unforgettable.
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.
