I care for all my clients pets like they are my own. If you are boarding, my dogs will go away in my room so your dog has free range. We will work with your dog and mine to have successful introductions- I know not all dogs are social butterflies and sometimes just need space! I have experience with nervous dogs and all types of breeds and prefer to take it slow even if that means not introducing your baby to all of mine. I do not charge for a second pet in drop in services, since I have more than one dog and know how costly it can be ! No matter how many dogs you have for drop ins, it is the same price :)

Information Sarah K. would like to know about your pet

Any information is important information :) I love to get to know your dogs as if they are my own. They are a special part of your family and I want the best for them.

A typical day

Knowing their favorite toys and activities makes them feel more at home while you are away. I love to know what their personalities are as each dog is different. I work from home so they will only be crated during my sessions for 1-3 hours. I use crates for boarding in my home for safety of all my pets and yours. For drop ins, I prefer knowing their schedule so I can adapt to as close as they are used to so they can be comfortable!

Pet care experience

Hello I’m Sarah, nice to meet you 👋🏼 I have been Rover sitting across multiple states (yay military) for the past few years as a secondary job to my main job as a counselor. I love all things dog, dog sports, and rescue and as a parent of 4 dogs and 1 cat I understand how hard it is to have reliable sitters with a strong background in dogs. I work from home and am generally flexible but do need to be given notice. I do not take repeat bookings due to my schedule. *At this time I am only taking clients within a short radius of my house due to my current clients, work, and lowering my prices to accommodate those around me* I worked at a Dog Daycare for 3 years and loved every second of this professional experience. I also have spend many hours in different states volunteering for rescue dogs and taking in hospice rescue dogs. I currently have 4 mix breed dogs and a cat who thinks he is a dog. WI am thrilled to meet your pups and give them the love they need while you are away or in need of assistance through the day!

Sarah was great with out fur babies! She was very communicative, prompt, and caring. She even managed to get our timid one out of her comfort zone! Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Sarah was the best dog sitter I have ever met. Attended every need of my dogs, didn’t hesitate to contact me for any issue, always very communicative and lots of pictures from our babies all the time. For the first time in many years I had a vacation where I had some peace of mind. Thank you!

Sarah was the best to watch our fivle and Odin! She was always on time and gave them so many lovings like they were her doggies! Our boys were well taken care of and we will continue to have her when we go out of town more! 😊

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.
