Pet care experience

Filling free time with dog friends

Hi, I'm Sarah! I am a lover of all dogs, regardless of shape or size. I have grown up around dogs - mainly the large lap dog type :) - and currently have an energetic Border Collie mix. I moved to Chicago at the end of 2023, and after a bit of a break from Rover, am looking to offer services in my free time. Prior to moving, I volunteered with Michigan Humane where I gained valuable experience working with a wide range of dog breeds and personalities. The group I volunteered with trained dogs using positive reinforcement training methods. I really enjoyed this role helping dogs build confidence and feel more comfortable in the shelter while they waited to find their forever home! I am willing to adjust service requests to meet your needs (for example, I can offer 15 minute check ins between "drop-in" visits), so feel free to send me a message. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Sarah was great walking my dog! I had a last minute request and she was quick to set up a meet and greet. She was also helpful with encouraging positive reinforcement training with my pup! Also provided timely and helpful updates on the walk. Will definitely book again with her again. Thanks, Sarah!

Sarah is always so great with Millie! Really appreciate that she’ll do some extra training with her when there’s time =)

Sarah is very patient with Millie as always, and even took extra time to work on some commands with her! We are very appreciative of that. Thanks again!

We found Sarah last-second after the Rover we had originally booked suddenly dropped out, and she couldn’t have been lovelier to work with. Our dog loved her instantly and she took such great care of her. We definitely plan on booking Sarah again.

Some general things I would like to know: What time does your pet normally eat? Is your pet allowed on the furniture? How does your dog respond seeing other dogs or animals when out on a walk? Does he or she get startled if a bike/skateboard etc. goes by? Are there any behaviors you are working on correcting (or not reward)? - please let me know so that I can follow the same process!
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.
