Pet care experience

Your local pet whisperer 😽🐾💞

An enthusiastic dog lover and cat owner for all my life! I currently own one kitty, and am a dedicated foster home for our local cat shelter since 2016, where I have helped raise kittens from birth on multiple occasions. I am also responsible for the care and safety of a variety of animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, birds and fish at my current workplace of 3 years — not to mention all of the pet parents who come into the store with their dogs to visit with! I have so much love and expertise to go around for all felines, canines, and specialty pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I am very committed to the work and care required to keep pets safe and happy! I value integrity and commitment, and I strive to be a sitter you can always rely on. Though I don't currently board pets to my own home, I always like to ensure I know of every pet's needs in their own home, where their favourite treat is located or keeping their favourite napping spot nice and clean. I can adapt to almost any environment, and once you return it will be such a clean and happy space you might believe I was never there!

Sarah was great and on short notice as well. My dog Petra seemed to really enjoy her company, they played and went for a walk. Sarah was a lifeline for me at the very last minute and I will definitely reach out to her again thank you, Sarah.

Sarah house / cat sit for me when I was away for 5 days this summer. Sarah is incredibly responsible and kind. She bonded with my somewhat shy kitty and sent pictures and updates. She loves animals and I know she will take great care of your fur baby. I am happy to recommend Sarah and will absolutely hire her again.

Sarah cares for my 2 dogs (Doodle and Husky) when we are away. My dogs love her. She is responsible and will ask questions if she is unsure. She loves all animals, especially cats. And because of her experience working in a pet store she can care for all pets with confidence. I highly recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs.

We’ve had the pleasure of having Sarah pet sit for our cats twice now during extended trips, and she has been absolutely wonderful each time. Responsible, attentive, and clearly an animal lover, she took excellent care of our cats and our home. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our one cat, who can be a bit shy, warmed up to her quickly—a testament to her calm and caring nature. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.

It is very important to me that I know the needs of any pet as much as possible in advance, which could range from their basic feeding instructions to any specialty care steps. I would request that any pet parent make their pet's needs and/or routine clear to me either when we are communicating beforehand, through an in-person discussion, or as a written/printed note left for me in the home for once I arrive there. I will likely ask for this again when a booking is being arranged, but it doesn't need to be anything more than their basic needs or any personality concerns. Thank you!
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.
