I’ll treat them like family ❤️

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Sarah and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats professionally for about 6 years. I grew up with many kinds of farm animals along with cats and dogs. I have two dogs right now. Lady the basset hound mix and Lucy the hound mix. Both are currently seniors. I’m also a full time certified dog groomer at a local grooming shop in Raleigh. I have experience with all kinds of breeds and sizes from a small Chihuahua to a Great Dane and everything in between. I’m pet CPR/ first aid certified and can administer medication (prescribed pills or supplements from vet). I have experience caring for puppies as well as elderly pets. I'm gentle, patient, firm, but loving with any dog or cat I've met. I enjoy meeting new pups/ kitties and their parents via in person or video chat. Along with Rover guarantee, I’m also insured with Pet Care insurance, so you can book worry free. I look forward to the opportunity of taking care of your fur babies while you're away! 😊

I am so happy when Sarah can sit for my pups and so are they! She is super trustworthy and great with my high anxiety dog. I highly recommend her service.

Sarah was fantastic sending updates and photos throughout our trip. Took special care of hanging out with our dog that couldn’t hang out with the others.

Sarah was awesome at communicating both before the booking and during the time we were gone. Cute pictures of all the animals with each drop in visit.

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

If your fur baby needs special instructions for care you’d like me to follow, for example medications or any other medical/ behavioral needs, please let me know or leave instructions. I was recently certified for pet CPR and first aid. I would also appreciate vaccinations being up to date if possible, but it is not required.

A typical day

Depends on the owners instructions for the visit, but I can walk, play, snuggle, or hangout with your fur baby. If the owner is alright with me taking them on an outing in a specific location, I can do that as well.
