I integrate pet care throughout my entire day as I have a senior kitty of my own! From waking up to feed a pet, playing with them to keep their mind active, and ensuring their personal surroundings are clean, pet care is never quite ever done.

Safety, trust & environment

I always ask what a pet owner does to care for their own pets to ensure their health, both physical and emotional, and comfort. I believe it's of utmost importance to ensure your pet is comfortable and happy in their own home.

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if your pet has any dietary concerns, typical energy level, and if they have any habits I should be aware of.

A typical day

I like to let your dog tell me what they want, specifically when to eat and when to take a walk. Ideally I do 2-3 walks per day, usually 20-45 minutes at a time, and your dog can lead me around the neighborhood wherever they wish! Sometimes I also like dogs to bring a toy with them on their walks if I think it will calm them while they're out and about. As for cats, I let their temperament guide their day. Generally, I try and offer as much cuddles and play time as possible, but I know that's not preferable for all kitties!

Pet care experience

I've been around animals my entire life! Growing up I had cats, so I'm very familiar with the regular things involved with them, but I do love dogs. I'm most comfortable with adult and senior pets, but I can also take care of puppies and kittens. My schedule is flexible. I'm always willing to accommodate last minute requests, so please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions. At this time I am not able to bring your pet to my home. At your home, however, I will always try and stay as close to your schedule as possible in caring for your cat or dog.

Sarah did an excellent job. Showed up as scheduled and cared for my babies as we talked about. I would definitely book again!

Sarah is very supportive. She helped drop in visit and take care of my cat during my absence. I greatly appreciate it.

Sarah was on her way to five stars but dropped the ball. She was suppose to do 2 drop ins a day (morning and evening) to feed and water our kitten and give her medication… she did her drop in Saturday morning around 11 am but did not do her 2nd drop in on Saturday evening and didn’t go back until Sunday around 11:30, leaving our kitten alone and unfed for 24 hours. Super disappointing and probably won’t be using Rover’s services again or recommending that anyone else use it.

Sarah watched our cats for three days and sent updates. We were very grateful. Without being asked, she also brought into the house a heavy package delivered while we were away. That was very nice.

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.
