Pet care experience

Experienced dogwalker and trainer

I grew up with dogs - three of them! - and spent time training or caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens for much of my adolescence and early adulthood. I'd love to get to know your animal and what your behavior goals are for them so that I can support your training when I walk or care for them! I run long-distance, so I'm also happy to just wear out your pup so they're happy and tired when you come home. I'm happy to do basic grooming as part of a regular visit, but prefer not to do nails or baths unless it's a 60 minute visit in your home - that reduces stress for me and the animal. I'm comfortable administering oral medication, or injected medication with clear instructions for use.

Sarah was great! She was very patient with our timid cat and knew how to make her more comfortable. We are happy to have a reliable sitter who can give our cat oral medication. Thank you!!

Schedule

I work from home two days a week, and as a result I sometimes struggle to take breaks no matter how restorative they would be. Borrowing someone else's critter is a great way to ensure that I do that!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Sarah can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
If your dog is reactive to common city distractions, (dogs, cats, squirrels, bikes/scooters, sirens, people etc), let me know so I can be prepared! It's also good to know if they have incontinence issues.
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.
