Available full-time over summer!

Pet care experience

After always having a dog growing up, I really miss having a pet of my own. My busy and unpredictable schedule throughout college and grad school never allowed the time needed to dedicate to a furry friend. I began dog sitting for co-workers and friends while I was in school, and once I heard about Rover I thought this would be a great opportunity to continue. What better way to spend my free time than doing something that I love! I enjoy being active outside, and would love to have a companion while doing so. Please let me know what your dog enjoys so that I can provide them with a home away from home. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged friend!

Sarah has been amazing, taking care of our Cavachon, Watson. Reliable, dependable, compassionate, knowledgeable, with 100% response to any questions or concerns. We will continue to trust and count on Sarah for our future travels.

Sarah was amazing with my dog Lola! Lola is a soon to be 4 year old Golden Retriever/Lab Mix. Sarah watched her a few times one summer and I always felt safe with her. Lola actually has a few health concerns and is very sensitive with what she eats. Sarah was very understanding and made me feel like there was nothing to worry about! She is very detail oriented and even took Lola with her when she went to fun “dog-friendly” places! Highly recommend!!

Sarah was the perfect dog sitter! She took great care of our energetic dog and kept us updated over the whole trip. She loves to spend time playing with dogs and keeping them excercised. I would reccomend her to anyone needing someone to watch their dog!

Sarah has watched our dogs on multiple occasions, ranging from overnight to a week at a time. She is without a doubt one of the best dog sitters we have had. We have one dogsl that needs to be dosed meds and was abused before we adopted him. He can be slow to warm up and difficult to take care of. Sarah was outstanding in working with him. We also have 2 other dogs and Sarah did a great job watching them/managing our multi-dog household. We also have a very disagreeable cat, which Sarah was able to give meds to. She is one of the few petsitters able to accomplish this daunting task. In short, Sarah is exceptionally trustworthy and capable at working with pets. You will be lucky to have her.
