Pet care experience

Good with shy pets & sharing 📸

I grew up with small/medium sized dogs and have three (very shy) cats of my own. I’ve done drop-ins and walks for neighbors and friends for years, and I love all animals young or old! I’m known for being reliable, communicative, detail-oriented, and flexible. I also love to send owners pictures of their pets, so expect plenty of cute pics and updates after each visit! 📸 I have a calm, patient energy that works especially well with shy or slow-to-warm-up pets. I’m happy to give your pet space and let them come to me on their terms! That said, I’m not the right fit for animals who are territorial or have a history of aggression (like biting, stalking, swatting, growling at visitors), since safety is key for everyone involved. 💛 Clients say... 🌟 “I’ve used Rover before, but this was by far the best experience.” 🐶 “She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly cared deeply for my dogs—not just feeding and playing with them, but really giving them attention and love.” 😸 “I did not worry even once about how my cat was doing because Sarah was so thorough in her visit reports and sent many cute photos.” 📝 “We had an initial call and she took very thorough notes, so much so that I didn’t have to remind her of anything (gate codes, feeding times, where to find things in the house).” 🖼️ “AND THE PICTURES!!! She captured my kitties beautifully (so much I am framing some!) and caught their personalities to a ‘T’.”

Safety, trust & environment

I want to care for your animal just like my own! I love to go on walks and play with dogs and cats in the home. I have some skittish rescue cats myself, so I’m good with animals that might need a little extra calming energy.

Sarah was great and our cat loved him! She was incredibly communicative and we really appreciated that. Will definitely book again!

Sarah went above and beyond to take care of our kitties. We were able to travel worry-free knowing they were in good hands and looked forward to her reports, pics, and videos.

Sarah is amazing. She’s dog sat Klaus since he was a puppy and he’s a lot to handle. She’s communicative, takes cute pics, and is great with dogs!

Sarah always sends lots of photos during her drop in visits! She makes sure to give each pet individual attention and time. We will definitely be booking again!

Schedule

I’m centrally located in East Austin, and I recently quit my job so my schedule is very flexible. I go on several mile walks everyday. I’d love to take your dog for some outside time!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Sarah can host up to 14 drop-ins per day
Let me know if you have any special needs or requests. I like to know what their favorite toy is, how they interact with other dogs, or if there are house rules. I keep notes on each pet to make sure they get the best service every time!
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.
