Pet care experience

Flexible, laid back, and fun

Having dogs almost all of my life, I know the dedication it takes to keep your canine happy and healthy. Whether that is frequent potty breaks, a long run around the neighborhood or lots of belly rubs- I’m happy to do it all. I can also accommodate those who like to travel but can’t take their dogs with them by staying in your own home where your dog is most comfortable. There are loads of parks and trails in Rochester to take walks, and there’s no better way to do it than with a four legged friend. During the week days I work remote as a project manager, so my availability is very flexible. I will treat your home and pets as if they are my own; with tons of affection and respect!

Sarah was great. I got married this past Saturday and having Sarah with all our fur crew made for one less (big) stressor! I cannot thank her enough! I’m sure we will have her stop by to take care of the fur kiddos in the future!

I've known Sarah for many years and have never questioned her sense of responsibility. She's cared for all sorts of animals over the years with kindness and patience. She has energy for epic games of tug-o-war, but knows when a pupper needs a break. Being the mom to an affectionate ol' boxer and a precocious lab mix herself, Sarah has the experience to provide for the needs of any canine companion.

I think Sarah would be a great Rover dog sitter because she grew up with dogs. She loves to walk them, work with them, play with them and care for them. Also, she has a couple of dogs of her own so she knows how to deal with more than one at a time. Such as walking or playing and making sure they get along.
