Availability
Because I’m home most of the day, I can easily fit pet care into my routine. I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, and occasional weekend cat boarding a couple of times each month. My flexible schedule means I can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs.

About Sarah A.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, it’s part of my daily rhythm. From spending time outdoors to quiet afternoons at home, there’s always time for a walk, a play session, or some cuddle time. I love incorporating pet care into my day because it keeps me active, brings me joy, and lets me help both pets and their people feel at ease. I am also an avid Rover user myself and understand how important it is to know your fur baby is safe and comfortable while you’re away.
Information Sarah A. would like to know about your pet
Before I care for your pet, I like to learn as much as I can about them so I can keep their routine and comfort just like home. I’ll ask about their feeding schedule, walk times, and any special bedtime or playtime rituals. I want to know their favorite games, treats, and toys as well as anything they don’t enjoy. If your pet has any medications, allergies, or health concerns, I’ll make sure I’m familiar with their needs. I’ll also ask about their behavior around new people, other animals, and loud noises so I can help them feel safe in every situation. Knowing your rules like where they can roam, commands they know, or training you’re working on helps me keep things consistent. And of course, I’ll have your vet’s info and your preferred way to be reached in case of emergencies. My goal is to make their time with me as happy, comfortable, and stress free as possible.
A typical day
When I care for pets, my day starts with warm greetings and plenty of affection. I make sure everyone gets fresh water, a good meal, and a chance to stretch their legs. Throughout the day, I keep them active and engaged, whether that’s going for a neighborhood walk, playing fetch in the yard, or having a cozy indoor play session. I keep a close eye on their comfort, making sure they get rest when they need it and extra cuddles when they want them. I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. For high energy dogs, I’ll plan fun walks, light jogs, or games of tug-of-war. For more relaxed pups or cats, I’ll focus on gentle play, brushing, or interactive toys. If your pet loves learning, we can practice basic tricks or enrichment games to keep their minds sharp. My goal is to keep tails wagging, whiskers twitching, and everyone feeling safe, loved, and entertained.

Pet care experience
I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, over 20 cats since I could walk and 5 amazing dogs along the way. Right now, I share my home with two wonderful pups: a playful 3 year old black lab and a gentle senior pit bull who just turned 10. Because I’ve cared for pets from kitten and puppy stages through their golden years, I’m experienced with everything from high energy play and training to the extra patience and gentle care seniors need. I understand different personalities, energy levels, and health needs and I love meeting pets where they’re most comfortable. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or quiet companionship, I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family.

Reviews
Aside from being one of the most caring people I know, Sarah is reliable, patient and its evident that her love for animals is a core peice of who she is. You can expect a truly caring and hard-working individual who handles each task with professionalism and grace-- and best of all, you can also expect an exuberantly happy animal after every experience!!
Sarah is amazing! My dog Luna loves spending time with her! She’s always on time, and she’s so kind and patient! Whenever we leave Luna in her care, we’ll receive multiple updates throughout the day, along with pictures. This gives us peace of mind, and we’re so grateful to have found her!
