Safety, trust & environment

I assess each pet based on their needs and desires. Some prefer to play, some want to just cuddle and others just want me to feed them and leave. I’m never going to push them into a situation where they are upset by my being there.

Information Sarah H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how well trained a dog is, if they have any special words/phrases that work particularly well. House rules for all animals. Veterinary information and house address easily accessible. I’m a sucker for big dogs.

A typical day

Walks as per owner request Playtime (inside or out, weather permitting) Cuddle/hangout time A WiFi password would be helpful for keeping in contact via the Rover website/app and conserving my data plan.

Experienced & varied pet caregiver

Pet care experience

I am a life-long pet owner and lover. I take care of all animals according to their needs and yours. Pet size or species is not an issue; I’ve cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, fish, birds, and horses. I am also used to multi-pet households. I have and have worked with rescue animals, as well. I am familiar with most animal behaviors and I want to know each of my clients individual preferences. I am used to giving medications and following dietary protocols for most animals. The safety and security of my clients and myself are at the front of my concern. I want to work with my clients so that they know their pets will be cared for almost as well as if they were doing it themselves.

Sarah was great! She was able to get our stubborn staffy her pills with ease and our dog was well taken care of!

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.
