Pet care experience

Full-Time Dog Spoiler

With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, I bring both dedication and genuine love to every pet I care for. I’ve provided a range of services including walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, and have built lasting relationships with families in my neighborhood through consistent, thoughtful care. I’m also the owner of a senior Labrador Retriever rescue who has been my best friend for the past decade. Caring for him has given me firsthand experience with dogs who need a little extra attention—whether it’s slower walks, more frequent breaks, or just plenty of snuggles and gentle affection.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat the space with the utmost respect and prioritize your pet’s comfort and routine. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding and walk schedules to favorite toys and special needs, and make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. I always maintain a clean environment and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands❤️

Sarah is a lifesaver! She went out of her way to take care of our pup. She was friendly, trustworthy, and took great care of our dog! I would highly recommend her!

Sarah was so nice and very responsive. She quite literally came to the rescue and took care of my dog last minute. I had a sitter booked (on wag) as I’m out of town, and they cancelled out of nowhere after the service had began and left Pinsir without any care. Sarah responded almost immediately and made time in her busy schedule to help us out and give him AMAZING care!! She really relieved all of my worries and I felt extremely comfortable having her as his person!! I would absolutely book with her again if I got the opportunity!

Sarah was great! She came in 3 times a day to feed and walk our dog. She sent tons of pictures. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter for sure!

Sarah was amazing! She took her time and allowed my sweet Stella to get used to her prior to Stella’s walk! Sarah was very kind and understanding oh Stella’s shyness! Definitely recommend Sarah for any of your dogs need!

Sarah is the best when it comes to caring for Leo when I need someone. He always gets so excited to see her, and it has helped him become less shy around others.

I always appreciate knowing your pet’s routine, personality, and any quirks or special needs ahead of time. It’s helpful to know about their energy level, how they do on walks, any medications or allergies, and how they typically interact with new people or other animals. The more I know, the better I can make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy!
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.
