Pet care experience

I Like Big Mutts and I Cannot Lie

Hi! My name is Sarah and I am a 26 year old animal lover living in Boston, right by the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. I adore all pets, from dogs and cats to reptiles and rodents. I have been around dogs and cats for the past two decades of my life. I am definitely the sort of person to stop you on the sidewalk and ask if I can please pet your dog. I live in a pet-friendly building, and I do not have any roommates or other pets.

Sara is absolutely the best! She is very understanding and accommodating to us and Timmy absolutely loves being with her and getting belly rubs from her!

My dog had a wonderful time staying with Sarah. She got him plenty of exercise with long walks, and kept us updated throughout - which helped my wife and I enjoy our vacation knowing he was doing well. Will happily book again for future trips!

Sarah was great! She took wonderful care of Merlin and took a lot of time getting to know all of his specifics so she could customize her care. She was also great at communicating with me and sent daily updates and photos. I would definitely use her again. Highly recommend!

Sarah was the work with. She was available and responsive before we left our dog with her. While Sarah took care of our dog she kept us up to date on how things were going, with pictures! Our dog had a great time and loved being with Sarah. This was our first time using Rover and we are more tham satisfied with the whole process. Five stars for Sarah.

Sarah is fantastic! From the first communication about dates and times to our cats special diet, she was so responsive and positive. She sent pictures every day and our cat had a great time at her house! She is very kind, smart, and loving. Have no reservations about highly recommending Sarah for any pet care!

Sarah went above and beyond to take care of our black lab Zoey--sending multiple pics everyday, taking her on lovely long walks, and making her feel comfortable and loved while we were away. Thank you!!

Schedule

I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which gives me a lot of flexibility with walks and quality one-on-one time. Tuesdays and Thursdays I work out of the office and I typically am gone between 9am-5pm. If you dog is high energy requires several walks, or if they have severe separation anxiety, they may not do well on a Wednesday or a Thursday when I’m not there. Before booking any jobs with dogs, I will typically prefer a meet and greet as well. If you have any other questions, please send me a message and I will be happy to answer!

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment complex is pet friendly and pet-proofed to keep all animals safe. I am happy to share my location with clients while I am with their pets. I will send you at least one picture of your pet a day, but I’m always happy to send even more!

A typical day

I love to go for walks myself, and would be happy to keep your dog physically active and stimulated. I can also be a total homebody and would love to snuggle up with your dog on the couch and have a cozy winter day in.
