Safety, trust & environment

I'm happy to do house sitting but we are a small family of three. I've actually found that this means more pets and cuddles for your babies while you're away.

Information Sarah F. would like to know about your pet

Can he tolerate children? Emergency veterinarian info. Food allergies. Potty training. Favorite activities. Amount of exercise preferred. Any other info you think will help this be a smooth and positive experience for everyone, especially your fuzzy, scaled, finned or many legged family members.

A typical day

We walk in any appropriate area near where the dog is staying. I also love the local dog parks and will take them there often if your dog has a pass. My daughter and partner will sometimes be with us and they are excellent with all animals.

Amazing Pet Care Iowa City

Pet care experience

Hello! First! I care for all kinds of pets! If you only have other creatures list one as a cat so we can chat. I started hauling home pets as a little girl...and wild animals in need of tlc. Even difficult animals seem to sense that I can be trusted and rarely give me any trouble. I love all varieties of pets and have successfully reared a human to the age of 7 so far. She seems to be thriving. The last part is true but a joke.

Sarah came to sit with my energetic young Bella Mae as I attended an event while visiting Iowa City … she was professional and friendly, and Bella took to her immediately! I’d trust Sarah with my animals anytime!

Went above and beyond when we asked to drop in early! Won over our cats and was very easy to work with!

We have used Sarah a few times now to watch our two cats and she is wonderful! This last time she even changed our smoke detector battery so my boys didn’t have to listen to the chirping while we were gone. She goes above and beyond, thank you again Sarah!

Sarah was excellent! I have two cockatoos and sometimes they are not easy to care for. Sarah jumped right in, sent me pics and videos and I think the birds loved her!

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.
