Safety, trust & environment

I will supervise every stage of your pooches' activities... play time, feeding and down time. Their safety and well being are of utmost importance to me.

Information Sara W. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I am very active so, depending on your pooches' activity needs, I promise to keep them both physically active and mentally stimulated. If they are older or couch potatoes, we can curl up to a good book or movie. I welcome dogs on my bed if that's what they are used to. Every animal is different and I strive to respect their individual uniqueness.

Pet care experience

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!

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.
