Safety, trust & environment

I am very vigilant when working with animals. I pay attention to the environment and the body language of the specific animal I am caring for to avoid any potential dangerous situations. I have an intimate understanding of managing reactivity.

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any limitations whether physical or mental, if they are sensitive to certain stimuli (ex. small animals, loud sounds, sudden movements), or anything that stands out to you as an owner you would want me to know!

A typical day

My ultimate goal is to care for every pet the way they are used to being loved. I want owners to know their babies are in good hands so that they can relax while away! If your pet is used to a lot of physical attention I am sure to fulfill that need both physically and emotionally by playing with them, taking them for walks, providing mental stimulation, and simply giving them love and pets. If they are calmer or older pets and prefer to just have someone around I pick up on that and make sure that if they are more shy and just want to know a person is around I don’t push them or stress them out if they want more space.

Animal lover!! Pet nanny 🐾🤍

Pet care experience

Growing up I was consistently around different animals and began pet sitting for friends and neighbors when I was 13. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats of all ages, and have also cared for horses, domesticated birds, and small animals. I adore my own fur babies, and make it my upmost value to treat the ones I take care of like I would want someone to treat my own. My friends and family often tease me for my intense love of animals, so rest assured your baby will be well taken care of! I have a bachelors degree in psychology with a concentration in biology and neuroscience. I have found my educational background to be relevant in my work with animals as I am able to apply both a psychological and physical understanding of behavior to closely monitor the animals I care for.

Sarah was fantastic with my dogs. She updated me after every visit with photos and a rundown of the visit. She was super professional and punctual. I will definitely be booking Sarah again 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.
