Safety, trust & environment

Your pets are family and I will provide the upmost care for them. I will make sure they are properly medicated (if they need medications), exercised, fed, and of course loved on. As a Vet assistant I’m used to pets with special needs and I am comfortable providing them. I am comfortable spending the night and I always update pet parents with pictures of their babies so they know they are in good hands.

Information Sarah L. would like to know about your pet

Information that is important ahead of time are how are around others people or animals, especially if they are being taken in walks. Also, an special needs such as having a wheelchair or supportive care.

A typical day

A typical day is dependent on the pet. Some may prefer to take naps and cuddle on the couch. Others, enjoy higher energy activities like playing fetch or running around a dog park. I prefer to tailor my days to their specific needs and what best suits the life style they are used to.

Pet care experience

Hello! I am recent college graduate looking to provide the best care to your pet. I received a Bachelors in Animal Science at NC State University. I have been volunteering at my local animal Shelter for 2 years socializing cats and walking dogs. I am current employed as a Vet Assistant. I am trained to administer medication via oral or injections. I am able to handle any pet no matter their temperament, need, or size, especially large dogs and cats.I have been a pet sitter for my neighbor and close friends in the past. I would greatly appreciate any opportunity to give your pet the best of care and you peace of mind knowing they are being well taken care of.

Sarah did such a fantastic job of taking care of our dog son. She kept us updated with pictures throughout the stay and honestly he probably would have preferred to leave with her based on his reaction when we got home. I’d highly recommend Sarah for any future dog sitting jobs!

Sarah was very communicative, on time, and terrific with my dog. I will be asking her to dog sit again!

Sarah was fantastic and I’m so glad we found her to take care of our pups (2 big pit mixes)! When I’ve taken them to boarding previously I could tell that they were stressed by the experience and would often have GI issues in coming home. When we got back after Sarah watched them this past weekend I was honestly a little sad they weren’t more excited to have me home. They seemed so calm and well taken care of, I got daily updates and photos, and I will add that Sarah was an impeccable house guest too! We will definitely be booking with her again!

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.
