Adventure calls!

I have had experience with cats and dogs throughout my entire life. My dad is a veterinarian so I have been around all sorts of animals my entire life and have learned a lot about animal behavior! I have experience with boarding/walking a dog during the summers and winters. I have also had years of experience with house-sitting and cat sitting. I am currently in graduate school and was an Exercise Science major in undergrad so I love to be active and outdoors and I enjoy a furry friend alongside. Luckily in Maine, we have hiking and outdoor adventures wherever we go, making it so much more exciting to remain active. I also am a strong believer in the importance of exercise for animals and how much that affects behaviors. One thing my friends would say about me is that I treat all animals like they are my very own :)

First of all, I appreciate Rover.com to connect us with an excellent dog sitter in a different state. We came from Texas for our vacation to Maine during the 4th of July weekend and we were looking for someone who could watch our 8 month old Pomeranian while we were having dinner at a local restaurant,. Since we have no children, our dog is really our child in our household and it is so important for us that our fur kid to be well taken care by a sitter. After I reviewed Sarah’s profile, I felt better and comfortable that our little dog stays at her place. Sarah accommodated our need and took good care of our dog while we were having dinner. We felt very comfortable even though we have never met her. We really appreciate this random opportunity to be connected with her and all her previous ratings for me to feel good about leaving my baby with her. Thanks again to Sarah and Rover.com for make this happen.

I met Sarah in college and she is without a doubt, the most sincere and genuine person I’ve ever met! She has an extremely kind heart, and is truly compassionate! I would give her the highest of recommendations in any scenario as she always gives it her best effort and does so with grace. She has multiple pets at home and has been around animals all her life. I think Sarah would be a great candidate to work with Rover and you would not regret having her on your team!
