Availability

Pet care fits really well into my daily schedule. I’m a medical student studying over the summer, so I have lots of flexibility and spare time throughout the day. I’m usually available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks or visits, and I enjoy taking study breaks to spend time with pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their owner’s home by following their usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, walks or playtime, litter cleaning if needed, and plenty of attention. I also keep the home tidy, respect the owner’s space, and provide updates so they know their pet is happy and safe.

Information Sarah K. would like to know about your pet

I always try to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and bedtime habits. Keeping their routine consistent helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away.

A typical day

We will go to the beach, walks, runs and hikes. Whatever your dog prefers! We will snuggle and your pup will be spoiled with tons of attention and love!

Caring and love animals!

Pet care experience

I live near Departure Bay beach with great access to dog parks and the beach. I have a car so can drive to places for longer walks, runs and hikes. I live in a very clean house with an unfenced, large backyard. I want to ensure your pet has a wonderful stay and time with me so I will make sure they get extra love and attention during your time apart. I have grown up with cats my entire life and absolutely love them. I have also dog-sat and done doggy daycare for many friends and family while they have been away. I would love to adopt a dog or cat, just unfortunately do not have time to have a pet full-time due to traveling. If your pet is in need of medications I have lots of experience handling pet meds and am capable of doing so. I would absolutely love to spend time with your pet and will love them as if they were my own!

Sarah took great care of our cats while we were away. We loved the daily photos and they were calm and content when we returned.

Sarah did a great job looking after our 2 cats. She was quick to reply to any of our communications and sent photos with each visit. We’ll definitely ask her to look after them again, in the future.

Finn is a very nervous and shy cat and is very picky with who he likes, so we we're quite worried to leave him home alone with a sitter while we travelled. Luckily, Finn really took to Sarah, and we've rarely seen him so happy with someone else that isn't us! We will definitely be booking again with Sarah in the future! She's super reliable and kind, and was really helpful with our anxious kitty :)

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.
