Pet care experience

Your dog is a part of your family, and deserves the best care possible when you're away! I have pet sit for friends and clients for the past 20 years. Not only will your dog be provide the best in basic care, but I feel strongly that dogs whose family is away need conversation, cuddles, and stability until life is cack to normal. I love frequent walks and jogs, and trips to the dog park if your buddy wants that. I am a teacher new to the area, and am excited to help out working or traveling dog owners, because I know what a relief it is for me to have my own dog safely loved when I am away. Looking forward to meeting you and your pal!

Sarah was responsive, reliable, and most of all took great care of my senior dog Penny!

We are incredibly grateful for Sarah. It was our first time using rover and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Her attention to detail for our pet family was phenomenal. Our dog is a senior and reactive and picky with people, but Sarah has become his new bff. She’s got great vibes with the pets and it really helped us feel at ease knowing they were in great hands with Sarah. Thanks so much! We’re super lucky and grateful to meet you and work with you!

Sarah came to the rescue when we had an emergency need for a sitter while on vacation. Sarah had amazing communication with a fun and humorous personality that helped keep us at ease while we were gone. Sarah provided frequent photos and updates of our pup allowing us to know things were going smoothly during her stay. Sarah stayed at our home and watered our plants too, she was a godsend!

Sarah was amazing. I got loads of pictures and updates. When I arrived on day one, she gave me the time and space to clean up Maurice, as the poor guy had gotten carsick on the way over. I will absolutely be trusting my boys with her again.
