A typical day

I love playing with dogs and cats and getting them moving and happy! Keeping pets happy while there owners are away is important and I believe movement and fun is the way to do that. I want to highlight that I am always extra careful when walking any pet around. There are a lot of distractions for animals and it is important to keep them close to you and hold tight to their leash at all moments. I also like to keep away from particularly busy areas that may be too stimulating or dangerous for them. When catsitting, I am happy to play with the cats and make them feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I am sure to thoroughly clean the litter and fill the water and food bowls. I love finding the toys that the cat finds most exciting and playing with them!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Sarah-Jane Clarke. I am an animal loving Software Engineer! I’ve taken care of dogs and cats throughout high school, college, and now post grad for my relatives, friends, and Rover clients! I have experience feeding, taking on walks, and playing with pets. I am always sure to make any pet feel comfortable and safe while they are separated from their owners. At home in Connecticut, my parents have a 3 year old cat named Valley who I take care of while I am home. From this experience I have grown to love cats and feel comfortable feeding, playing with, and cleaning cats litter. I love being around cats and making them feel happy and loved!!! I also had a yellow lab for 12 years and was always helping take care of him and take him on walks throughout my childhood. I have taken care of small dogs as well as larger ones and multiple cats at one time. I would be very excited to help you out by caring for your pet! I recently took care of my friends 4 month old Beagle for 2 months while he was traveling. This gave me solid experience taking care of a young dog including feeding, potty training, walks, and making sure they get plenty of activity!

Sarah-Jane was great! I was away for a few days and she fed, watered and played with my friendly cat that gets lonely when left alone. She sent photos and updates! Thank you Sarah-Jane!
