Sarah can care for

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Availability

On weekdays, I work full time but in a hybrid environment. I am typically in office Tuesday - Thursday, but this sometimes varies. As a result I typically don’t take any reoccurring bookings or any sits during these days unless it’s after work hours. I can get your pets out during my breaks and have plenty of time after my 5:00 pm log-off time! On weekends, I am free with no commitments on weekends and can work around your pet's schedule!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently cannot offer any boarding as my building is not dog friendly. But the safety of your fur babies is of the highest importance to me! I allow dogs to lead the way on walks so they can safely do what they need to do! I'm always happy to learn more about specific requests to make sure your dog is getting top tier care. As a note for house sits: - I will not agree to any house sittings in a dwelling with a pest history of any kind - bugs/roaches, mice/rats, etc. - I prefer bookings in NYC, but can explore bookings in Jersey only should it align with my work schedule and doesn’t take me more than 30 minutes to get to and from

Information Sarah O. would like to know about your pet

Once I know your pets’ routine and typical behaviors it allows me to be the most successful as I step into their space! During a meet and greet I have a whole list of questions that I’ve found have made me most successful during sits

A typical day

I will let your pet take the lead! I’m a big believer in watching their cues to make sure they get exactly what they need, whether it’s an extra long walk or going outside more when it’s nice so we can sit in the grass. I also love to take pups to get pup cups if the parents give me their permission and there are no allergies (;

Treating your furbabies like family

Pet care experience

I love dogs that aren't mine as if they were my own! My name is Sarah and I started to care for animals when I was just 10 years old and I started to care for pets all around my local neighborhood. Pets have been a massive part of my life, and I'm excited to give your pet the most love, care, and attention! I've managed dogs of all sizes, from Dachshunds to Great Danes, and of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I’ve also cared for many cats and my neighbors used to call me their “cat whisperer”. I love being engaged with your pets. My favorite thing is taking pets for walks around their park/typical walking route and seeing their personalities come out.

Sarah was great! My cat is a bit shy but she immediately took a liking to Sarah. Would recommend her to other Rover users!

Sarah is the best! We were nervous about leaving our energetic 3 month old pup for the first time and Sarah put all of our worries at ease. She sent a bunch of updates and followed our schedule perfectly.

Sarah took the time to meet Winnie and thoroughly took notes on how to care for her. She communicates great and our pup was very 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.
