Safety, trust & environment

Each situation is different so the amount of time spent with a pet will be dictated by the pet parent. Whatever your fur baby needs is what I will give them. If I am house sitting, I will respect your space and follow the rules and standards that you set. I will ensure fences are latched and leashes are secured. Each pet will have their individual needs met.

Information Sarah R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any food restrictions or allergies. Tell me if your pet is reactive (to people or other pets) and what situations or enviorments to avoid with your pet.

A typical day

I will take your beloved pet on walks and/or spend time playing their favorite games. For pets who move at a slower pace would go out for picnics and sit out in the sun.

Keep them safe. Keep them loved

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve worked at pet stores and currently work at a Doggy Daycare and Boarding facility (Love Unleashed, St. Louis) while at university. I want to make pets feel the least amount of stress as possible, while their humans are away. I want to give them Love, Security, and Fun.

We had an outstanding experience with our Rover sitter: Sarah and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She was punctual, professional, attentive, and genuinely caring with our dog from start to finish. Her communication was excellent, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing our pet was in such capable hands. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was taken care of, and it was clear she truly enjoys what she does. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter. A well-deserved five-star experience!

Sarah was fantastic! She sent photos of the pups any time we requested, let us know if anything was out of the ordinary, and genuinely spent time with both our pups. We are excited to use Sarah again in the future!

Sarah is a top notch dog sitter. She will leave your house looking clean and send you daily updates and pics. She will allow you to enjoy your vacation while you are away from the dogs. She is a very kind person and I knew I could trust the house and dogs with her.

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.
