Fur Baby Companion Care

Ive taken care of dogs for my friends and family since college and until recently, had an amazing little Maltese named Sawyer for 14 wonderful years. After his passing earlier this year, I have had 3 different housesitting jobs for my friends which has shown me how much I miss having an animal companion, but I am just not ready to get another one. The max number of dogs that I have ever watched was four but depending on temperament, I could be comfortable with more.

Sarah-Jane was wonderful with our dog for her 4 night stay. This was our first Rover experience and it couldn't have been better. Sarah-Jane was diligent with updates and photos. Most of the photos were of a sleeping dog which was proof of how comfortable she was there. I highly recommend and we will be using Sarah-Jane again.

Our family had three lovable fur babies, two beagles and a Chow. Sarah-Jane carried for our three for a week. She did a fantastic job. We have one medical need dog that requires medicine at specific times as well as monitoring. Sarah-Jane was diligent with the med rotation and providing updates. We really enjoyed our vacation because we felt confident that everything was well at home and they were taken care of properly. We even came home to a tidy home and three happy dogs. We will be using Sarah-Jane again and happy to sing her praises.

I've had the pleasure of working with Sarah-Jane off and on for 15 years. You will not find a more kind, loving, responsible individual to care for your pets.

Sarah-Jane is a great caregiver for all pets. She is loving and responsible. She gives the animals lots of attention and treats them like they are her own.

Schedule

By working from home, I’m able to care for dogs in my home or travel to your home, depending on your preference. My typical work schedule is 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, and because I work remotely, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and, of course, lots of cuddles.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m happiest when I’m curled up with a good book and a fur baby nearby. My experience with pet sitting has primarily been with families whose pets are not crate trained, so I’m very comfortable with pets having access to furniture and sleeping in the bed. The animals in my life have always been treated as part of the family, and I’m comfortable accommodating different routines and personalities. I have experience caring for dogs who are graze eaters as well as dogs who follow a specific feeding schedule. Before he passed, my little guy was taking several medications, so I’m also comfortable administering medications and keeping up with specific timing and routines. I live in a ranch-style townhouse with a yard, although it is not fenced in. Because of this, I would always follow the owner’s instructions regarding outdoor time and would not allow a pet outside unattended.
