🐶 I speak dog, let me show you! 🐶

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Sarah and I want to help you and your pets keep a normal, stress-free routine when you’re away. I’ve had a dog since the day I was born and I pet-sit regularly for quite a few families. When I’m not pet sitting, I’m probably fostering a shelter pup so I feel 100% confident around most sizes and personalities. Interacting with animals brings me immense joy. I can play, pet, cuddle, walk or do whatever your pup(s) enjoys for hours and hours (see below for a list of activities we might like to do). I do have a full time job but my hours are pretty flexible, meaning I can work a full or half day from home if needed. As a personal rule, I don't like to leave dogs home alone for more than 6-7 hours, especially if they are kenneled, high energy or younger. I live in a house with my husband, who is home nearly full time and has great experience with animals. He’s a great guy who loves to be involved in the care and keeping of our foster pups and furry house guests. We have a fenced back yard and we love taking walks in our quiet neighborhood. We also have our foster fail, Argo! Argo is a well-behaved 4 year old cattle dog/border collie who absolutely adores the company of other dogs and has a gentle play-style but is also respectful of dogs who aren’t interested in play time. I don’t bring the husband or Argo along for house-sitting gigs but if you choose to board with us, they’ll be around to keep your fluffy family member company. If your dog isn’t keen on other dogs, no worries, we are willing and able to keep everyone separate. In our home or yours, I promise your dog(s) will be in safe, loving hands because I treat all pets as if they are my own! Let me know if you have any questions 😊

Excellent! Phenomenal! Sarah was great with Layla, who got to play with Argo, Sarah’s dog. She came back tuckered out, worn out from a very playful couple days. Sarah was communicative and very easy going.

Sarah was the BEST. She checked in with us, gave updates on our pups, and was a joy to get to know. We will definitely be using her again.

Sarah was wonderful! She stayed with our two dogs while we were on a 5 day vacation out of town. She sent us a photo, video, and quick updates. She communicated with us well and left our house in great condition. She even washed the towels and bedding that she used and collected our mail. Next time we use this service I'm going to be using Sarah, again.

Sarah was great! I was new to rover and wanted a house/dog sitter for when I’m traveling. She came over and met my dog and I before we booked. She was very thorough in the questions she asked and took notes. When it came to the actually house sit she was amazingly flexible and came over earlier than expected so that my dog wouldn’t be in the kennel very long after we left. She kept my house clean and sent regular updates on how the stay was going. I will definitely be scheduling future services with Sarah!

Information Sarah H. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

I love walking around new neighborhoods but the trails at Leawood Park and Loose Park are some other favorites. The dog park is also a good time as long as you and your dog(s) are comfortable with that. I can play a good game of fetch or tug-of-war but I’m always down to cuddle on the couch. I also love mental stimulation games and working on tricks. If you and your dog(s) have activities that you love doing together, let me know and I will make it happen! I promise to keep your pup(s) engaged and stimulated while you are away. We will have a great time!
