Pet care experience

Responsible grad student

I am a responsible, trustworthy, and communicative pet sitter getting my PhD at Syracuse University. I have been pet sitting on Rover for over a year and can be relied on to provide excellent care for your beloved pets! Growing up in an apartment, I was always around cats and have been taking care of my own for the last 8 years. I am a total cat lady! I have cat-sit for many friends, colleagues, and family members. I've also always loved being around friend and family members' dogs and have dog sit several times, including walking and overnight care. I am patient, respectful, and reliable for providing clear and consistent communication. As a grad student, I am also dependable for responsible and respectful service. I know that trusting someone with your pets is a big responsibility, and I will do everything I can to give your furry family members as pleasant and relaxing an experience as possible while you're away!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When meeting new animals, I always allow the animal to dictate how much they want me to interact with them. Along with the basics of feeding and cleaning up, I always make sure to provide the animals with some play time and comfort. I am happy to talk about your animal's specific needs and how I can best care for them.

Sarah was amazing with Ramsey and I would absolutely book with her again. She sent notes and pictures every day and spent lots of time playing and walking him. She was even able to stop in for an extra day when I had a travel emergency last minute. I came home to a well loved and happy puppy!

Sara is excellent company when I’m home alone! She knows my favorites and gives lots of love, play time, and even gives me the best treats! Sara is the best sitter when I'm not traveling and have a stay-cation instead! Thank you, Sara!!! Love, Bandit

Schedule

As a PhD student, my summers are very flexible as I am mostly working on independent research projects. I have a car and am able to travel for the visits. Outside of short travel dates, I am usually available throughout the day and can complete multiple visits in a day if needed.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Sarah can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your animal has any special needs or quirks, like wanting company while they eat. I am happy to accommodate your pet's preferences!
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.
