Please let me know any special needs or requests you have for your pup. I am able to administer medications if needed and am very conscious of each animals needs. Please let me know if I can make your pet's experience any better while you are away.

A typical day

I love to be active with dogs and enjoy walks. I typically take dogs to a park near my home where they can run and play fetch. I will also take them for pup cups (if allowed) and make sure they feel loved. I have a yard where they can spend time in the shade and love to snuggle up in the evenings.

Sarah was absolutely amazing! She watched my dog for a week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She took incredible care of him and kept me updated with pictures throughout the week, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well being and treated him like her own. I came home to a happy, healthy dog, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, communicative, and truly loves animals, I highly recommend Sarah!

Sarah did an amazing job with our three-year-old dog during a rainy weekend. She is highly professional and very responsive. We will definitely book her again!

Sarah took great care of my 3 kitties while I was away including giving medication to one of my babies. Everyone seemed content and stress free when I returned. I would definitely book with her again and would recommend Sarah to anyone nervous about leaving their medication needing kitties with a sitter. Thank you again Sarah!!

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.
