Pet care experience

My husband and I live in a spacious home in Manor Park with a very friendly rough collie and fenced yard. I am now back at the office and while my husband normally works from home, he rarely must be on-site on short notice. Please consider this possibility when gauging whether your pup could be okay during the day if needed. Our pup would love a pal!

Sarah was a fantastic sitter for Abby! She was communicative, sent lots of photos, and made us feel at ease during our trip. Abby had the best time and we look forward to future stays with Sarah and family 🐾

Sarah takes such good care of Phoenix, making sure that he gets plenty of walks and playtime. She keeps me updated with photos of their adventures, which I really appreciate. She also lets me know about how Phoenix is getting along with other doggies. I would love for Phoenix to stay again because he receives excellent care and attention.

Sarah was amazing. So communicative and great with my pup and her at times difficult quirks. She went above and beyond. Highly recommend!

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.
