Highlights
Pet care experience
30 years experience - open schedule
My name is Sarah and I'm 33 years old. I took a little stint from Rover to focus on my professional career but I'm back and so excited to start petsitting again! Animals have been my life ever since I was young. I worked at a vet throughout high school and even started my own dog sitting company in Charleston, SC upon graduation from Virginia Tech - safe to say, I've always been obsessed with animals. I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds and ages, including puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, dogs those with disabilities, cats that require medication, etc. You name it, I've probably had to handle it in all my years of pet care. I love taking dogs on adventures - the beach, hiking trails, you name it. With 30 years under my belt, rest assured I will treat your fur babies like my own and give them the exercise and TLC they deserve while you are away!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Sarah is the best! She is always punctual and on time. One of my dogs is a feral rescue. He can be a bit difficult. Sarah took extra time to get to know Rhett. Now every time Sarah comes to walk my pups Rhett leads the way because he cant wait to see her! I give Sarah an extreme vote of confidence.
Sarah is a super human being! She is very attentive and aware of her surroundings and has a special connection with all animals I have seen her interact with. She has cared for my dog, Daisie, an 11 year old West Highland terrier, on multiple occasions and Daisie just loves being with her. Sarah took her for long beach walks and fed her properly (she has some dietary issues so it's not very easy to find someone who will remember to feed her properly). She loves doggies. Highly recommend Sarah!
Sarah is an excellent pet care taker! She adores animals and it shows. She is super conscientious and reliable and our pets love her! Highly recommend!
Sarah is a dog whisperer! She gets along with all breeds and connects with them! I trust her completely with my dogs - a Golden and a Maltese. She enjoys walks and runs with them and taking them to the dog park. She is conscientious and will quickly recognize if your dog isn't feeling well. Ten stars!

Schedule
I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is pretty open (including weekends). I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and doggy day care (this includes walks, feeding, TLC, medication administration, etc.). I also offer overnight care, whether that be in your home or mine (whatever you and your pet prefer). This is a service I'm currently offering to private clients but am starting to extend to Rover.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my client's homes, I always let them take the lead with their comfortability and with their pet's normal routine. I want to make sure your pet hardly notices you are gone and that they are 100% comfortable and happy with someone in their environment. Whether that means crating them, walking them at specific times, having designated playtime. Again, I let the client take the lead on instructing me in those cases. When I bring a pet into my home, it's important that they get along with cats, as I have two who are very friendly and don't interact too much with my/client's dogs. Currently my Husky is staying with my mom in Virginia, so he will not be in the apartment. I want my space to feel as "homey" to them as possible, so whatever is needed to make that happen, I accommodate.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day starts with breakfast and a walk in the neighborhood or park with many sights to see and smells to smell (short, medium, or long depending on preference), followed by playtime with toys, a little Animal Planet, and an afternoon nap. I'm also happy to do hiking/beach trips for an extra $20. I like to gauge from the owner their pet's typical energy level, exercise requirements, play style, etc. If your pet's style is to chill all day, that's perfectly fine too!
