Pet care experience

Your dog will be part of the family

I have a love for all animals especially dogs! I have had at least one dog or furry friend since I was 5 when my grandmother introduced me to my first poodle Lady Belle. Since then I've had the pleasure of being mom to a husky, poodle, german shepherd, Italian greyhound, shih-tzu, mini-pin, chihuahua and last but not least Dawson🌈 the greyhound. I have pup-sat for many years for friends and family but now thanks to Rover.com I can share my love of pet-sitting and care of your special furry loved one. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog/animal lover for as long as I can remember. I have a dog since I was 5 and have had birds, small animals, fish and many breeds of dog since then. *Sorry I am unable to watch or be in a house that has cats as I am severely allergic.

Sarah was AMAZING with our very particular dog! She was communicative, flexible when we had a flight change, and helped our pup through a scary thunderstorm. Your dog will be very happy to have her!!

We had a great experience with Sarah! She was very sweet and comfortable with our dog, sent several photo and text updates, and was easy to communicate with. We absolutely recommend Sarah!

Sarah was amazing watching our dog while we were out of town. She sent updates and pictures to keep us informed of how he was doing and he had a blast! We had last minute travel changes and Sarah was so flexible working with us. We will definitely be coming back in the future!

Sarah took absolutely wonderful care of our special little dog. She shared daily pictures and activities they did that day. She has another small dog that got along great with ours. We will definitely look to Sarah for our future care needs.

His/her likes/dislikes. Any quirks, destructive nature or propensity for barking, nipping or general hyperness. I can handle it all but I'd like to know about it before hand just in case. ;)
