Safety, trust & environment

Before we confirm services, I require a meet and greet of your pet to ensure I am the right fit for them. Only after a successful meeting will I continue with my services. I will only go to places you approve to walk your dog. I am able to crate your dog if need be, and will only let them run free in a secure fenced in yard. I do not feel comfortable letting cats outside, even if they do come back for feeding and the night.

Information Sarah D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs ahead of time and their vet contact in case of emergencies. I would also like their dietary needs and list of medications if needed.

A typical day

Depending on your pet’s energy level, I will make sure they are mentally and physically stimulated! Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or a cuddle session, I will make sure they have their own “staycation” in my care.

Pet care experience

I have been housesitting and pet sitting for about 6 years and have worked with a wide age range of cats and dogs. I work in an animal care field so I am comfortable giving medicine to pets that need it. Senior pets hold a special place in my heart, so I don’t mind the extra TLC some require.

Sarah was absolutely amazing! She’s done drop-ins for us before, but this was her first full week of overnight sitting for us—and she handled everything perfectly. We were on vacation and wanted to really disconnect, and she gave just the right amount of updates while taking care of everything seamlessly. I trust her wholeheartedly. She’s wonderful with all three of our pups, especially our troublemaker Luca. When one of them had an upset tummy-ate grass- then got sick in the house...she cleaned it all up, kept us informed, and made sure everyone was cared for. She is wonderful. Sarah is truly our top pick for sitters!

This is our second time using Sarah. She went above and beyond when my pup had an emergency while I was gone. I cannot recommend Sarah enough! She treats my babies like her own!

Our boys loved Sarah! We felt comfortable while traveling and like they were very cared for. Would love to have Sarah house sit for us again!

Sarah always does a wonderful job with our fur babies. She is trust worthy and punctual for all our drop ins and home stays. She has great communication and our pups love her personality.

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.
