Sarah did a great job of communicating, documenting, and helping reassure us our kitties were well taken care of while we were away. We look forward to booking with Sarah again in the future! Thanks for caring for Cosmo and Luna!

Schedule
I started using Rover as a way to help mourn the loss of my elderly dog who struggled with arthritis and pain management. I administered his oral and injected medications regularly. The transition of not having a dog in my home was difficult for me and having dog guests in my home and caring for pets brings me so much happiness. I know first hand how hard it is to find a trustworthy sitter so I wanted to put my services out there as I am knowledgeable and experienced.

Safety, trust & environment
I have taken care of birds and dogs my entire life since I was little. My real passion is with exotics such as birds, hermit crabs, guinea pigs and rabbits.
Pets
A typical day
With dogs, taking the time to get to know them and bond is important. There are a lot of beautiful parks in Victoria which helps for walk locations. The dogs I board quickly adapt to my home environment and enjoy going for walks in my neighborhood to explore all of the new smells. I believe that bird enrichment is super important and supervised time out of the enclosure is important. I’m great at handling birds and understanding their body language. Regular water and food changes is also very important. With rabbits and Guinea pigs their needs can be particular. I’m very patient and respectful with them and like to give them space unless they show me they want acknowledgment. Keeping their food routine is important so that they aren’t stressed out. With hermit crabs I know the importance of regular food changes and maintaining their fresh and salt water baths.
