Pet care experience

Vet Student at Cornell University

I am aspiring veterinarian in my first year at Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine. I currently work as a student worker at Cornell University Hospital for Animals in the exotics department! I am a life-long animal owner who grew up rescuing cats (through adoption and TNR) with my family. I’ve had cats, dogs, bunnies, frogs, and fish! I'm always excited to make a new furry friend. :) Apologies if I am ever late getting back to you- my schedule has revolves around school and I am not always able to check my notifications 🔔 while I’m in class or working in the hospital.

Safety, trust & environment

While I do not offer care at my home as I have some lovely animal babies of my own, I am confident in my animal handling abilities. I have shadowed and worked with certified fear free veterinarians who have taught me the tricks of the trade. Additionally, if your animal requires medication administration I am able to do that as well.

Sarah was wonderful in all respects. She is warm, very comfortable with our senior dog, responsive and accommodating. Her communication is excellent. She has no problem giving medications. I will absolutely book her again.

So glad we found Sarah! She has a real knack for cats - just minutes after she arrived, ours was not only out from under the bed but happily allowing her to pet him. Sarah kept in touch throughout her stay and the photos showed he was having a great time. Looking forward to the next time our schedules line up!

Jupiter loves Sarah and warmed up to her right away! Sarah is great--very communicative and thoughtful, and I'm so happy to know a vet student is watching over my pup. :)

Schedule

I am currently only available for walks/drop-ins during the early mornings/evenings on weekdays (M-F) and all day on the weekends. I am available for sittings primarily during the weekend but depending on distance from the vet school may be able to do weekdays. I'm a flexible person and am happy to accommodate your schedule whenever possible. Just let me know and we can work it out. I don't mind same day requests, but I might have other pets booked in advance or prior obligations!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Sarah can host up to 1 drop-in per day
Let me know if your dog has any special needs, this can inform how I approach care for your pet. I don’t mind a high energy dog. However, please let me know in advance if your dog has issues interacting with other dogs or animals so I can better my care.
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.
