Caring for cats for 40+ years

I have experience with all types of cats, from aggressive to shy to super friendly. I am masterful at reading their signals and honoring their needs and comfort level. I have you covered - any special food, basic medications, exercise, stimulation, close monitoring, and more. I follow your instructions precisely and communicate thoroughly and quickly.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I watch cats' cues for if they want space and to be left alone or if they want loving (petting or snuggling) or if they have energy to burn during some play time. I figure out the dynamics between multiple cats and adjust care accordingly.

Sarah was great! She came consistently and our kitties knew exactly when to expect her so they would come out. Thanks!

Sarah took great care of my kitties. Unfortunately one of my cats became ill right before I left on vacation, and Sarah did a great job with the extra care around medicine and diet changes. She was great about sending updates and communication. One of my cats is really timid and she warned right up to Sarah.

Sarah was great! We adopted a new cat almost two months ago but he still isn’t with the other cat. Sarah was great at managing both cats needs and the silly system we rigged up to keep both cats happy. Would book again

In my opinion Sarah Harkleroad would be an excellent caretaker for anyone's pet. She has had her own pets over the years and they have always been well cared for. Sarah is a conscientious and kind person. She loves animals and is very patient with them. I would not hesitate to have her take care of my pets if needed.

Schedule

I am currently available any day or time, though not over night. I work remotely and can flex my time. I can even come for extended times and bring work with me if your cat(s) need some extra time to get used to me or just like the comfort of someone there.

Cats
Sarah can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I look forward to hearing about your cats' preferences: where they like to hide, what their needs are, basically anything I can do to help take care of them and make them feel safe and comfortable.
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.
