Availability
I’m an elementary school teacher, so I currently have the summer off, which gives me a lot of free time during the week and a very flexible schedule. During the school year, I still have consistent mornings, evenings, and weekends available for pet care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already structure my day around my two pugs and am used to taking on that sense of responsibility and consistency. I’m used to managing feeding/walking schedules, routines, and daily needs. I also enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so incorporating walks and check-ins is something I genuinely look forward to.

About Sarah A.
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets would be cared for in a calm, safe, and supervised environment. I have two very friendly pugs, Bean (5) and Gus (3), who are social, gentle, and get along well with other dogs. I always do slow, supervised introductions to make sure everyone is comfortable. Dogs in my care get regular walks (at least 2–3 times a day depending on their needs), along with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I also have a securely fenced outdoor area for quick potty breaks, but I prioritize walks for exercise and enrichment. My goal is to make visiting dogs feel at home while keeping a structured, safe routine so they feel comfortable and cared for during their stay.
Information Sarah A. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know about any medications, allergies, medical conditions, mobility issues, dietary restrictions, behavioral concerns, or anything else that will help me provide the best care for your pet. Please also let me know about any special routines, feeding instructions, or emergency contacts before the visit.
A typical day
I love to do any outdoor activities like going on neighborhood walks or trips to the dog park, but I am also used to doing many indoor activities to entertain my dogs since they are pugs and can get sensitive to heat. Either way, I make sure the dogs are having fun while being comfortable.

Dog Lover You Can Trust
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Sarah, a lifelong dog lover who has always grown up with multiple dogs in my family (besides my freshman year of college in the dorms, which was a long enough break for me before I adopted a dog of my own again). I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from black Labradors and American bulldogs to smaller breeds like pugs. I’ve also dog-sat for friends, family, and neighbors many times, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I currently have two pugs of my own, Bean (3) and Gus (5), who keep me on my toes and bring a lot of joy to my everyday life. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. While this is my first time on Rover, I’m not new to dog care. I bring years of hands-on experience and a calm, attentive approach to every dog I care for. Whether your pup is playful and energetic or more relaxed and cuddly, I’ll treat them like my own and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.
