Dogs deserve a little vacation too!

Hi, I’m Sarah and I’m a lifelong Alaskan. I have a small dog of my own that will welcome your best friend as one of the pack! I grew up with pets, I’ve attended dog behavioral training and first aid courses, and there’s never been a time in my life when I didn’t have a dog. I have a fenced property with a big yard in a convenient midtown location. We’d love to have your dog stay with us!

Sarah was great! This was my first time using Rover and Sarah provided an awesome first experience. I really appreciated her nightly updates with photos of my pup!

Sarah was extremely accommodating for watching my newly rescued dog. She agreed to watch him while we are away for a week & half, but also agreed to take him for a couple nights to get him use to her home before the big trip. He had a great time on his trial night so I am confident that he will be fine for the time we do the long trip. He was so happy when we picked him. The house has a well fenced in yard in the front & back. He was in very good hands.

Once again our pups had a great stay with Sarah. They always come home tired and happy!

Sarah was super communicative and friendly. I wished we found her earlier and skipped trying out other sitters. She sent updates with pictures and was very responsive. She even let our Albus sleep in her bed!

I left my dog with Sarah for 14 days (longest I've ever been away from him) and she took great care of him- daily updates, took him on adventures, cozy spots all through the house, and I know he was well cared for! Definitely recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced property with a large yard for your dog to enjoy. Typically I don’t use crates unless requested by the owner and your pet is welcome to make themself at home. I also love taking photos so you can expect lots of pics of your pup while they’re staying with us.

Pets

A typical day

My dogs love to play and run around in my big backyard. We typically go for a nightly walk around the neighborhood to check out any new smells and there are several hiking trails nearby that we frequent on the weekends.

I’ve cared for senior dogs before and I’m familiar with their special needs. I’m also a pug mom so I have a particular love for pugs.
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.
