Information Sarah R. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences, just in love with all animals. I want to make sure that every pet's needs and routine are met to alleviate any separation anxiety from their parents and that they feel loved.

A typical day

Playing catch (usually whatever dog's play preference), throwing squeaky toys (under supervision and approved), roaming in a fenced yard, attention, and belly rubs. They love going outside. During Florida summer, they often quickly come back inside, except for one who likes to sunbathe.

Pet care experience

I am a dog LOVER and ADVOCATE. I have worked at an animal rescue and have done research/training with pet care for years, as well as, owning dogs and cats most of my life. I have seen so many smiling and loving furbabies of all kinds of breeds and will not discriminate against any. My heart is huge and I have gained much experience with all types of unwanted rescues who dealt with anxiety, aggression, and fear. I aim to create an environment of calm and structure to establish safety and trust. Then, I give LOTS of love and care. Basically, I can handle difficult pets with behavioral issues due to my background with the rescue shelter and with having rescues of all types of behaviors from their own backgrounds. I have rehabilitated and trained many animals with all kinds of needs. Everything is CUSTOMIZABLE to what your dog needs. If the dog is used to a crate or whole room. I like having a relaxing environment for the pups and lots of opportunities to play or sleep if that is their nature and needs. MY HOUSE: Consists of a dining room/living room, four bedrooms, and a fenced back yard. Our garage is being converted into a fifth room where my office will be and so will all the pups get to hang out with me that has direct access to the backyard. MY DOG: The dog I have is currently described as very happy. She is an active 12 yo pup and senior so she’s pretty mellow with some play. I facilitate calmness and boundaries. I have created an environment where she feels safe and loved.

Sarah was absolutely amazing with Mia! She is highly communicative, kept me updated throughout the day, and sent lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Mia had an incredible day and came home happy and tired—which, as every dog owner knows, means she had a great time! Sarah also went above and beyond by accepting not one, but TWO last-minute bookings for me, which I truly appreciated. It’s clear that Sarah genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Mia was so comfortable and happy with her. We’re both very happy customers, and Mia is already excited to go back tomorrow! 🐾🐾🐾 Thank you, Sarah! We highly recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional Rover sitter.

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.
