4.7

I wanted to echo the sentiments that Laura T just posted about Sarah. I did not write a review after she sat for my two dogs in March but feel compelled to do so now. Sarah was 9 hours late on day one and only when I texted non stop did I find out that she was not at my house because she had to go home to her house and take care of her sick cat. I was HYSTERICAL and thought I was going to have to fly home and cut my vacation short. I was absolutely paranoid about the rest of my time away because I, too, did not know if she was ever there or if she was taking care of my dogs. I had neighbors swing by to see if they could see her car in my driveway since no one saw my dogs outside....ever. Nor did she walk them. I think she walked them 1-2x during her stay (5 days) and the only updates I received was when I called or texted her begging for them....and I was doing so just to make sure she was actually at my house. When I got home, I also noticed she didn't even bother to clean up any of the dog poop in the backyard and seeing how much was back there I knew the dogs weren't walked. I feel remiss in not posting this sooner, but I encourage you to find someone else who actually wants to take care of your pups.

We appreciated Sarah’s eagerness at the start and she seemed like a dog lover. I would hire her again if necessary but I am a little hesitant to fully recommend at this point. I’m almost positive she came late the first day, but not 100% sure as we didn’t hear anything and when I reached out, she didn’t respond until 7:30p and I asked her to get there anytime before 5p. To be fair, our door was hard to open so we appreciate that she was able to use the back door to get in. However, we only received updates if we asked, and even then it seemed like a chore. We only got a “it’s going great.” when asked, and 2 pictures of him not looking happy over the 5 days we were gone. When we got home, our dog appeared scared. He went to the bathroom and was crying like his stomach hurt. Could be nerves. Hard to say if she really spent the night here or not. Maybe just an off week, we all have them. Next time I would just ask her to try to send more updates. I would also say that she is the most expensive sitter we’ve used on Rover and I’m not quite sure why that is. Thanks

Responsible and sweet sitter. My shy little, recently rescued Maltese warmed right up to Sarah.

Very attentive and good with pets!

Sarah was excellent! She stopped in to check on my cat once a day over the thanksgiving holiday and provided a helpful picture and update on her well-being. Definitely gave me peace of mind to know she was well cared for.

On VERY short notice Sarah came to the rescue when our sitter fell ill. She was wonderful with the girls and very communicative. No doubt we will be using her again in the near future.
