Information Sarah A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet’s temperament and whether they are trained (including leash skills). They will need to get along with other dogs since I have my own dog at home. Also let me know whether they have special needs. Ease with kids is a must.

A typical day

We wake up early in our house! First thing we do is a walk in the neighborhood followed by breakfast. Then I’ll typically do some work while my dog naps. We’ll take a lunch break together and either play/train or take a quick walk. After work we like to visit the dog park or hike the trails near our house.

Your Pet’s Home Away From Home

Pet care experience

I have had pet dogs all of my adult life. They are not just pets - they’re family. I live on a quiet cul de sac with my two-year-old golden retriever Maple. She would love another pal to play with! We take daily walks or hikes near our home and visit the dog park a few times a week. We also spend lots of time snuggling on the couch. I have experience with puppies and seniors alike, and can administer medication where necessary. Please reach out with any questions or to chat. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

It was our first time using Rover and Sarah was wonderful to work with. We are so happy she and Franny started getting to know each other and we look forward to working with her again!

Sarah was great!!! Even though my cats were scared without us home she took great care of their funny personalities. Thanks for paying such good attention of them!

Sarah took such good care of Sammy, our sweet 13 year old golden retriever, during her first stay. Sammy was happy and relaxed when we picked her up, and clearly had a fun enjoyable stay. Sammy and Sarah’s golden, Maple, got along great, allowing Sammy to make another friend. We’ll definitely use Sarah again. Thank you!

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.
