Kind, compassionate animal lover

Pet care experience

I have been both a dog and cat owner since I was a child, having owned multiple dogs and cats of all ages, life stages, and with different levels of need for care. Growing up and throughout college I have looked after pets for my neighbors and friends. When I moved into my own apartment in 2015 I found myself without a pet and a best friend to care for the first time in years. Since then I have adopted a senior cat, who keeps me company. Because if his age I have taken a step back from dog boarding, however I would still love to walk or play with you furry best friends. For me this is not a job, it's for the joy.

Sarah was absolutely fantastic! First, she accepted my request last minute and over the winter holidays! Second, she was incredibly responsible and kind while I navigated a last minute difficulty I had with my apartment complex on the day of my travels. Because of Sarah’s great communication and grace under pressure, I can say with all honesty, she was a life saver. Finally, she was terrific with my cat Whiskey. She ensured I always received a prompt response and a detailed daily check-in summary. Sarah got along incredibly well with Whiskey; Sarah really made a point to learn what Whiskey loved to do and tailored her drop-in visits to ensure Whiskey was happy. Sarah is also a wonderful photographer, and I thoroughly enjoyed receiving photos of Whiskey each day. I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a top quality pet sitter.

Sarah is the best dog sitter I have worked with on Rover! She is truly amazing! She was able to meet me for a very short notice meet and greet, and my dog Barker fell in love with her right away. She stayed at our house for 3 nights and took care of Barker exceptionally! She was right on time the day of our meet and greet and the first day we left her with Barker. Our dog is a picky eater, so she was more than willing to cook and prepare his food with our instructions. She was such per detailed and communicative at all times. She also sent so many cute pictures! So yes, i would 110% recommend working with her!

Sarah provides great care for my dog and cat. She also was available for a meet and greet on short notice. She provided regular communication and pics. She also left my house very tidy. I think the animals really enjoyed her company. Highly recommend!

Sarah clearly had a lot of affection for my dog and even took him to work. I appreciate her care.

Information Sarah M. would like to know about your pet

I am a lover of all dog and cat breeds. I have always owned medium to large dog breeds, but have experience watching small and extra-large breeds as well. I am also familiar with all of their moods and personalities of cats, and can bond with them, or give them space as needed.
