Hello! My name is Sarah & I am excited to now be a Rover sitter in Boston, after previously working as a sitter in Las Vegas and Ohio. I am lucky to have worked with animals/veterinary world my entire life and have had numerous opportunities to train & work with animals: - Veterinary assistant for 4 years w/ cats, dogs, exotics (including injections, blood draws, monitoring anesthesia for surgeries, ER triage & stabilization, running doctor & technician appointments, etc.) - Spay & neuter clinic vet assistant (anesthesia monitoring + surgical post-op care) - Research assistant at a vet school studying animal influenza (swine & avian) - Volunteer at various animal shelters (specifically behavior modification training with high stress/reactive dogs) …and much more! I actually still work in the veterinary field, but now on the industry side. I had always loved working with dogs & building great relationships with them, earning their love and trust. I have also worked extensively with reactive dogs (whether it be noise, human, other animal-reactive etc.) in shelters but also in homes and with boarded veterinary behaviorists. I am also a big lover of cats & working with cats. I’ve always been fascinated by feline behavior, whether in a veterinary clinic or in their own environment. One of my biggest strengths is patience-I work with your cat(s) to understand the world from their point of view so that they are comfortable with me being in their environment.
