Availability

I am currently petsitting full-time! When boarding, I like to have 1-2 animals staying with me at a time. I also take the dogs I am sitting or boarding on other dog walks around the city, so your pup is guaranteed plentiful exercise should they need it. I am happy to discuss options if your pet needs to be alone.

Information Sarah M. would like to know about your pet

I would love to schedule a meet and greet before our first booking! Along with hanging out and catching a vibe, I will ask questions like: What is their feeding/walking/medication schedule? Can they be left home alone? If so, for how long? Do they get along well with other people/animals? How much exercise do they require? I look forward to hearing from you!

A typical day

For dogs, I typically carve out space for two longer walks(30-60min)/day and two short potty breaks. When dogs can handle additional stimulus, I love taking them everywhere with me albeit other dog walks, errands, or time with friends. When a dog may be experiencing anxiety or reactiveness I can tailer my schedule to be more centered around my home.

Experienced, quality care

Pet care experience

I have been happily petsitting for ten years. I love and appreciate animals of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I am good at directing dogs on a leash with patience using the start-stop method if need be. I meet dogs where they're at by coming into their acquaintance with open body language and a ready-to-be-sniffed attitude. It is my absolute pleasure to connect with and care for animals. I am regularly available and flexible for boardings, sittings, day-care, and meet & greets during most all times of the day including evenings, weekends, and holidays.

Sarah was the best! She took great care of our dogs while we were out of the country and kept us updated throughout the trip! Highly recommend!

Sarah was amazing with my dog! He was very anxious and had some adjustment issues, and she communicated with me through it all and was very patient managing through it. I would highly recommend her!

Sarah was wonderful in helping us out when I couldn’t walk our big pup! She came twice a day and Finnegan enjoyed his long adventures!

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.
