Dog-Loving Researcher in Cambridge

I have been a dog owner since 11 years old (a total of 4 beagles in my lifetime, 2 at a time). I was previously employed at Wag 'N Wash for 2 years, a self-wash and grooming establishment in New Jersey. At Wag 'N Wash, I learned to work with dogs in stressful situations such as grooming and bathing. I understand how to approach and handle dogs that may be anxious upon my arrival for a walk or drop-in visit. Additionally, I have about 1 year of volunteer dog-shelter experience. In my home town in New Jersey, I was hired by several families over the years to take care of their pets. Since then, I have expanded my care to Cambridge and have been a Rover walker/sitter for over 3 years! I have extensive experience with walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with dogs and feeding/cleaning the litter boxes of cats, and have picked up house-sitting skills along the way (I always make sure plants stay watered 😉)

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in a dog-friendly apartment but with little space and no yard. I do not have a dog with me right now, as my family dogs are in my house in New Jersey with more space and a fenced-in yard. Therefore, my services while in Cambridge are limited to walks and check-ins to be fair to the dog. I am comfortable with checking in whenever needed and walking around Cambridge and Boston, as well as visiting dog parks.

we had a great experience with Sarah! She stayed at our place and watched our dog and cat for a few days. She left the apartment better than when she arrived and took great care of the pets :)

Sarah was polite, prompt, and even able to accommodate some minor changes of plan with short notice! Tala had a great time with her and we would be happy to book again in the future.

Sarah was the best! She came over a few days prior to meet us and our dog and review the plan. On the day of, she was right on time and gave Meadow a 5-star visit, including super cute pictures for us! Much appreciated. Hope to work with Sarah again soon!

I am currently working full time. With that being said, Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are my most flexible days. I can do daytime check-ins or walks as I am remote for work on those days. On weekdays, I am available from 6:30am-8am and again from 5:30pm-8pm.

Cats

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Sarah can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I have no particular breed interests or requirements. I prefer dogs who are friendly, as I enjoy going on walks with a social and public aspect to keep both the dog and I safe!
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.
