Pet care experience

My heart belongs to small dogs!

Hi, I’m Sarah! I recently lost my two senior dogs after 14 wonderful years, and I miss the joy of having furry friends by my side. I have years of experience as a dedicated pet parent and am comfortable with pets who need a little extra care, whether it’s giving medication, managing special diets, or providing extra patience for senior pups. Your dogs will enjoy lots of attention, walks during the day, and a calm, safe environment while you’re away. Because I worked from home and I only take one to two dogs at a time, your pups will get all the love and care they deserve. Think of me as your dog’s second home!

She did a great job as always! When I had a change in schedule, she was super professional, kind, and accommodating. I couldn't ask for a better experience.

Sarah was amazing!!! My dogs spent the weekend with her while I was traveling, and I could tell they had a blast. She followed the instructions to the letter and was very consistent in feeding and administering meds. She also paid attention to my pets' behavior. She noticed immediately when something was off and took steps to come to a quick and safe solution. She really cares about my babies. They are safe in her home and her care. I will definitely use her services again.

Sarah is awesome! She took great care of my little dogs, especially my elderly pug. She has this air of competence, and she backs it up with her years of experience taking care of her own dogs, good sense, communication, and willingness to follow instructions. Her home is beautiful and clean. It smells nice. She sent lots of pictures and seemed to delight in my little dogs. I will be booking her again soon.

Sarah is an exceptional caregiver not only to pets, with people as well. Specifically regarding pets, Sarah has shown deep care and respect for all animals and is very sensitive with their needs. She is consistent with their timely needs such as feeding/walking/urination/defecation and knows the right ways to hold/pet animals without hurting them. Sarah is an amazing pet caregiver and would make a great addition to Rover.com.

I highly recommend Sarah as a pet sitter. She has a heart of gold, especially when it comes to caring for animals. I’ve witnessed her loving kindness and interactions with her own dogs, as well as with those of strangers’. She’s trustworthy and responsible, and I will be utilizing her pet sitting services in the very near future!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work from home! I can take them out for all the potty breaks needed. As many breaks as I want to play and snuggle! I also get an hour lunch break everyday for walks!

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house

Non-smoking household
Has 2 dogs
No children present

Potty breaks every 0-2 hours

Safety, trust & environment

I do NOT have a fenced in back yard so I would need to take your dog out on a leash. I prefer your dog have a harness for extra security.

Pets

A typical day

Your dog will get all the love and attention! I can accommodate as many bathroom breaks as needed. And at least one 30 minute walk per day.

I would like to meet your pet and make sure everyone is comfortable before accepting a booking! Also, Let me know about yours dog’s current routine, medicines and schedule. Does your dog get over heated easily? Does your dog love walks? How often should we go out for a bathroom break? Etc. The more information the better!
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.
