Highlights
Pet care experience
Happiness is wet noses and waggy tails
I am an experienced dog sitter for friends and previous foster carer with the RSPCA (experienced with anxious and traumatised dogs). I have taken care of dogs requiring medication, oral tablets or creams and wound care. I absolutely love dogs and have been know to turn a non-cuddly kelpie into a snuggler and an anxious schnauzer into a social butterfly. Many of my friends have said a week with me improved their dog's training and curbed their anxiety. A few regulars I see in the park say I am their dog's favourite and one dog gets so excited to see me, his owners call me "Banjo's girlfriend"!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a secure, dog friendly flat. It has floorboards in the rooms and tiles in the kitchen. Dogs are welcome everywhere but can also be restricted to one room or crated if you prefer. I don't have an outdoor area but as a ground floor flat, there is a front yard and lots of parks nearby. I have previously looked after dogs who use crates and also rescues with a lot to learn. I keep dogs on the lead as per your comfort level and my confidence trusting the dog off lead in parks which I test in a safe space.
Ratings and reviews
Great sitter, in my favs
Sarah is the first Rover sitter, I can confidently say is a 'find'. She was brilliant with Leo and he was unwell. She followed my directions, great communication and he seemed genuinely comfortable with her. Really happy she was able to look after him.
Sarah made Scout feel instantly comfortable and had a great energy to her. Scout can be a bit nervous around new people but she had absolutely no issues with Sarah, and she came back incredibly happy. I'd recommend Sarah to anyone, but especially those with dogs that can be on the more anxious side!
Sarah was such a great sitter, Toby loved her and she was so flexible for us. Toby ended up having a nail removed the day before and she was so helpful in amending plans last min to help him be more comfortable. Great communication and she made everything really easy/stress free. Hoping to use her again in the future

Schedule
I'm an Australian living in Hackney and on the hunt for a job. While I do that I am very flexible to look after furry friends. My days mostly start with a walk or run in Victoria Park, and spending time exploring my area and chilling at home. I do play football so usually busy Wednesday evenings and Sundays.
