Pet care experience

Shelter-Trained, Pet-Loving Sitter

With experience in a dog shelter, pet sitting, and caring for my own animals, I’ve worked with pets needing extra care—whether it’s a cat with health challenges, a senior dog needing gentle attention, a playful puppy, or a shelter animal with a unique personality. I also studied animal behavior both on campus and abroad for my BA, contributing to a thorough understanding of pet behavior and individual needs. I take a patient, tailored approach to make every pet feel comfortable and loved.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their comfort and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions for feeding, exercise, and medications, while providing lots of attention, love, and playtime. I keep the home clean and secure, respecting the owner’s space, and ensure that the pet feels at ease in their familiar environment.

House Sitting • May 17, 2026

Sarah did a great job house sitting with my fur baby. She kept to his schedule, made sure he got his walks, and was comfortable at home. She communicated updates regularly which I appreciated. The house was clean when I returned. I would definitely book with Sarah again!

Sarah was great with Ivy and followed her routine closely. Ivy settled well and had a nice calm evening. I appreciated her being attentive and communicative. Would definitely book again.

To provide the best care, I would need to know each pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, preferred activities, any health issues or medications, and temperament. It’s important to know if they have any allergies, dislikes, or behavioral triggers, as well as their favorite toys or comfort items. Additionally, I’d like to understand their bathroom habits and whether they have any special preferences for rest or playtime. This ensures I can tailor my care to meet their individual needs and keep them happy and safe.
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.
