Farm Girl and 30+ Year Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Hi! Animals are a huge part of my life - I've been around them since infancy, ranging from dogs and cats to donkeys, horses, and pigs! I've been house and pet sitting for over 20 years, and love the opportunity to offer trustworthy, loving care for other people's animals. I have a real heart for animals of all shapes and sizes, and am responsible and reliable. The wellbeing of animals is of great importance to me, and I always make time to top off a water dish or dress a wound (the donkeys I care for deal with those). I love dogs, and am known to pick up strays and return them to their homes. The dogs and cats of the neighborhood often find their way to my door - I love that animals know animal people!

My dog Thatcher has another woman in his life! Recently, Sarah dog sat and house sat for me. I trusted her immediately. How wonderful it was to get on a plane and not have to worry. Thatcher had an immediate connection and even looks in the guest room wondering when Sarah is coming home to our pack! Thank you, Sarah!!!!!

Sarah is fantastic! My husband and I were in need of an overnight pet sitter at the last minute after a family member sitter fell through. A friend had recommended I check out Rover.com since I was out of viable options at the time. Though I was reluctant to even consider a stranger to watch my dog, I looked into it anyways and found Sarah. We are so incredibly grateful that we found such a caring, good hearted gal like Sarah to help in our situation. She responded to my messages right away and we scheduled a meet and greet where my dog took to her the second he met her. I could tell right away that Sarah was/is a genuine animal lover. She listened to all my concerns and assured me that no matter what, our boy was in good hands. And this was true. While sitting overnight she sent multiple text/picture updates giving us the assurance that our boy was not just in good hands, but in great hands! Upon coming home, everything was basically as we left it and our boy was happy as can be. I would have Sarah dog sit again for us in a heartbeat and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter in the Santa Clarita area. Thank you again Sarah, you are truly one in a million!

Sarah has been a great friend to my animals: horses, dogs, cats and the occasional koi! They love her and do well under her care. When my 125-pound mastiff hears Sarah's voice, she gets very excited, goes and gets a toy to "properly" greet Sarah! She has proven herself to be very trustworthy dealing with my pets and I can highly recommend her for working with others' animal companions.

Sarah Carman has a sincere love and appreciation for all animals. She has watched my dog while we've been on vacation several times and the dog is always happy and healthy when I return. I should note that my dog is a rescue with some unique needs. Sarah has been very understanding of those needs and follows my instructions. She comes to my house to care for the dog and I completely trust her. She is fantastic and I highly recommend her!
