Pet care experience

Animal lover, big backyard

I offer house and pet sitting, doggie daycare, and boarding services. I own two dogs and a Senegal parrot, and my experience with animals is extensive and varied, having cared for many different types throughout my life. I am passionate about animals and have a flexible daily schedule, along with reliable transportation. To ease your mind during your absence, I can provide regular photo updates of your pets, ensuring they are well cared for. Working from home allows me the flexibility to take pets outside for frequent bathroom breaks every 2-3 hours and for brief walks during the day. Daytime drop-offs for sitting can be arranged from 7 AM onwards. My backyard is securely fenced and my two small dogs are very sociable and welcoming to guests.

Sarah took great care of Honey while we were away. We were worried at first because this was the longest we had ever been gone and Honey can be anxious, but Sarah made us feel at ease knowing Honey was in good hands and would be taken care of. We highly recommend her for overnight boarding. Thanks Sarah!

Always trust Sarah to take great care of our dogs. She does especially well with the extra care our elderly dog requires. Highly recommend.

Sarah was great! This was our first rover experience and our dog’s first time staying with anyone except us or our parents. She gave regular updates and our pup seemed very happy and healthy when we picked her up. Their space is really great for dogs and it was great that they only took small dogs so we knew ours would have some good playmates. We would definitely board with them again.

Lucky to have Sarah, she is the best Rover I’ve ever had by a landslide. Cares deeply about animals, flexible and responsive, easy to communicate with and very knowledgeable. Recommend 10/10

Rocco always has a wonderful time with Sarah! She is so sweet with him and keeps us updated with pictures of his adventures; she is also flexible and understanding, which we really appreciate. We trust her completely and Rocco is looking forward to his next stay with her!

Sarah is an excellent sitter! Our dog ADORES going to her house, and she stays in contact, sharing updates, while our pup is there. Our dog had to take two medications daily while she was there, and Sarah handled it easily. She responds quickly to inquiries and check-ins. I would recommend her for sure.

Safety, trust & environment

🌳🌲🌳I have a big fenced back yard and 2 very friendly small dogs. We spend a lot of time outside working on the yard. The dogs enjoy chipmunk and squirrel hunting, and relaxing on the back patio. When we are inside, the dogs have prime squirrel watching on the couch under the big front picture window.

Pets

A typical day

We spend our days enjoying the yard, playing fetch, sitting outside on the deck. If it’s too hot to spend time outside we have a lot of space inside to play around or nap.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
No females in heat
Sarah can host up to 4 pets per night
Let me know if your pet has special needs. If they are highly reactive, anxious, etc. I can only accept small dogs for day sitting in my home. They will be able to play with my other 2 dogs inside. I give everyone frequent potty breaks outside.
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.
