Warm-Hearted Pet Lover

Pet care experience

I am a responsible pet lover looking to sit for your animals... of any kind! I am the person in my neighborhood people go to when there is a missing dog or a dog needs help. I have 2 dogs of my own, one with special needs. I consider them part of my family, and I would treat any other pets with the same warmth, care and friendliness. I have picked up chicks from the side of the road, and rescued a lizard from the expressway (to name a few)... and there is not an animal that I couldn't love.

Any time Sarah cares for my cat, Jinx, I know he will be treated as wonderfully as her fur babies. It’s very obvious how much she loves animals!

After a less-than positive experience with my first rover sitter, I was bit anxious about leaving my 11 month old puppy for second long weekend. Sarah could not have been better! We did a quick meet & greet at her place a few days before. We could see how our dogs got along and discussed care. All weekend, Sarah keep me updated, sending with photos of my girl looking cute and relaxed. On pickup, despite a crazy rainstorm, she was returned happy, clean and smelled great! Definitely will rehire.

Sarah was great! Leo stayed with her for 10 days while we were on vacation. Leo came home happy and healthy and enjoyed all the snuggles from Sarah and Buster. So glad we found someone reliable to watch our pup! We will definitely use her again.

Sarah was an outstanding puppy sitter for my mini schnauzer Millie. She kept me informed and even posted a number of pictures as this was our first time away from Millie for a vacation. I highly recommend her services!
