Pet care experience

Experienced & varied pet caregiver

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.

Pets

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.

This was my first time using River. Sarah was friendly and great with my two rowdy labs. She sent photos and her visit with them. I will definitely be rebooking with Sarah!

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

George and Gracie were well taken care of, and Sharah responded quickly to any text we sent while away. She was a great in home dog sitter for us.

Schedule

This is currently my only job aside from helping my widowed brother care for his four kids. During the school year, I’m available starting at 9am and can do house sitting most readily on the weekends during the summer I’m available on a more flexible time frame.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Sarah can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
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.
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.
