Safety, trust & environment

I want to make sure your pets feel safe and loved, so I always speak gently and let them know I’m there to make friends and have fun.

Information Sarah R. would like to know about your pet

I love to know about your pet’s personality and general health. It’s good for me to know how your pet does around other animals in case we encounter any while on walks. I like to know what your pets like or don’t like because I want them to be happy and feel comfortable with me.

A typical day

I love to take walks! I will follow your pets lead on the length of the walk, depending on their energy level. Slow and steady with lots of stopping and sniffing for the older folks. Long and at a good pace for the pups that need to get their wiggles out! I’m happy to walk in your neighborhood or take them to a nearby park or trail, as is your preference.

Sarah was our first experience using Rover and the first time we used someone we didn’t know beforehand. Needless to say we were quite nervous to see how they would handle someone brand new for two weeks. We can honestly say that Sarah went above and beyond. We left behind wet food and treats for her to spoil them with when she wanted to leave them a nice treat, and she definitely took full advantage in making sure they were comfortable! Through the pictures and communication from Sarah, we weren't concerned for even a minute that our kitties weren’t taken care of while we were gone. They may have remained a little shy, but they sure enjoyed the extra treats. I would recommend Sarah to anyone looking to be able to rest easily knowing your pet is properly looked after.

Sarah is great! Always sent photo and text updates on how my cat was doing. First time leaving my cat with someone she did not know, and I was very nervous, but I am so glad I picked Sarah. They were best friends by the end ♥️ and I will definitely be asking Sarah to watch my cat in the future!

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.
