Availability
I am typically available in the afternoons as long as I don’t have a meeting scheduled (I work from home) and most evenings are available. Weekends are the best time to book care if you will be out for soccer games, dinner or long evening plans. I have kids as well and I have used Rover for 6+ years on my own pets. I am excited to return the favor to you now that my kids are older.

About Sarah G.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have used crates with my own pets during training and I will follow whatever safety instructions are needed. I understand all collars, how to avoid run ins with feisty dogs and other concerns you may have. I know how to troubleshoot dogs that like to find hiding spots or have the ability to slip out of the door. I am 40+ and I am raising tweens at this point, so I have a little wisdom under me that other walkers may not have at this point. I am also trustworthy. I have a great full-time job coupled with flexibility. I just want to combine my love of pets with a little extra income.

Information Sarah G. would like to know about your pet
Let me know what your pet likes so I can get to know them. Meet and greets or a photo conversation works best before you leave. Sometimes they can point to where their favorite treat is at, but if medication is involved, I want to know ahead of time.
A typical day
My current golden retriever is 3 and he LOVES long walks and playing. I know how to wear out any dog. I will go on long walks and depending on what your dog likes, we will walk fast or stroll and smell every leaf. I can play fetch or tug of war. I love zoomies! Same with any cat! I know how to let them lead and show me what they like. If it is playing with toys or just simple petting, I am their person.

Pet care experience
I have always had a dog and cat in my life (and still do!). I have been using Rover for two years and I don't seem to want to stop anytime soon. I have trained two golden retrievers and walked a lot of puppies, senior dogs and many ages in-between. One of my own dogs was awarded canine good citizenship before my children were born. I love being around animals and I have a caring nature. Now that my kids are getting older, it fits my need to get exercise and bring some joy into my life. I would love to give your pet some snuggles, snacks and I am always mindful to send lots of photos to ensure you can relax while you are away. I know that is what I would want as a pet owner. Some people think you have to either be a "dog person" or a "cat person". Not me! They both have a place in my heart for very different reasons. Cats take some time, but I love their comforting purr, the playfulness of spunky kittens or just petting their soft fur. Some owners simply just someone they can trust for a check-in. I am happy to provide the details needed so you can be OK while you are away.
Reviews
Thank you for make sure Dolly is safe and well cared for!! We both just love you!!
Sarah is the best and my cat loves her! Thank you for everything, Sarah!
As usual Sarah was awesome. I would actually rate her six stars out of five instead of five. I was worried when I left on my 8-day trip because my dog was a little sick and I had to take him to the vet on the Sunday before I left and fortunately the numbers were good enough that the vet felt I could travel and he would be okay. That said Sarah went up to my vet for me and picked up some medication to help him get back on his feet. She was the one making suggestions of what to feed him to get him to eat and I think that's typical of her going above and beyond.
Good reason that Sarah is listed as a star sitter. A very nice person who was good with my dog who is pretty old and set in his ways. In fact my sister had watched him the night before Sarah got here and he actually nipped at them a little bit and strategically placed let's just call them some presents outside their bedroom and inside their bedroom. Yet with Sarah he he was back to his old self not nipping or showing teeth or leaving presents for spite. And to me the bigger endorsement is the fact that I would hire her again and I already have. Three data points that I look for when hiring a sitter are overall star rating, the number of ratings and the percentage of repeat customers.
