Pet care experience

dog mama, runner, foster-er, hugger

Hello neighbors! I am a mom and resident of Rochester who works from home regularly and loves to go for a walk with or drop in to see your pup as a break from my day. My husband and I had our own dog until she passed away and, over the years, have also fostered several others and dogsat frequently. I love all dogs and have a special soft spot for pitties and other larger breeds. We have two young kids who enjoy having dog visitors as well. I typically only take a couple bookings per week, though I make exceptions when I can for repeat customers and for customers who live especially close to us. Feel free to get in touch to learn more about me and how I can support your family.

Boarding • Oct 12, 2025

I am so lucky to have found Sarah to watch my golden retriever for a week last minute. I have never boarded her before and she can be a very anxious dog. She did a great job taking care of her special needs and sending updates. 100% recommended.

Sarah was awesome and worked with me on short notice! Dogs were comfortable with her from the initial meeting and trusted her to drop in and take them for walks!

Thanks for coming to take care of Remi! I’m sure she gave lots of kisses.

House Sitting • May 15, 2017

Sarah was super flexible with the whole plan. This is my first time using Rover and I will use it again because of Sarah's absolute professionalism. She sent me pictures of Fritz and she was very helpful with my anxiety about leaving my little fella. Thanks Sarah!

House Sitting • May 03, 2017

Sarah C. was able to help me out on pretty short notice. She was very caring and understanding of Bear's anxieties about not being left alone as we had just moved recently. I hope to have her sit again soon and can recommend her to others without any reservation.

Schedule

I work full time but have a flexible schedule and can plan to take breaks at multiple points in the day as needed. If a request conflicts with something on my calendar I’ll always check before booking if a slightly later or earlier visit might work with your and your dog’s schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I am a very conscientious dog walker and sitter. I clean up after your dog and myself and will always ask if I need to know where you keep poop bags, treats, or towels to clean muddy feet if it’s a rainy day. Feel free to share any special preferences or requests so I can accommodate them.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy neighborhood and park walks, especially exploring your dog's favorite places! I’m happy to play with a dog and their fav ball or toys, to go for a walk if desired (whether you’ve requested a walk or drop-in service), or just to keep them company while they rest if it’s a bad weather day or they are a more nervous pup. I’ll tailor what I offer to your dog’s temperament and needs, as well as any requests.

I would just want to know about any anxieties or special needs that your dog has. Also where you keep your leash, poop bags, and any treats you’d like me to give.
