Pet care experience

Dog lover & training nerd!

I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have personally owned my own dogs for almost 20 years. I genuinely love spending time with them and enjoy enhancing their experience of the world through positive reinforcement training, sniffy walks, and other enrichment activities! I can do puppy care, senior care, or anything in between. Happy to work with reactive dogs as long as they are not human aggressive or a risk to redirect reactions onto nearby humans.

Safety, trust & environment

Leave detailed instructions, and I will follow them to the letter. My goal is to provide care as close to your “normal” that your animals receive when you’re home with them.

Sarah was amazing! Very obvious that our two boys were well cared for. She even had our somewhat standoffish cat asking for attention! Very pleased and will definitely be booking again in future.

Sarah did a great job housesitting our dogs! Her communication was excellent. Our dogs seemed very comfortable with her and were relaxed when we came home. She left our home in great shape too. We would definitely rebook with Sarah again!

Sarah was detailed oriented, very kind and extremely patient with our 16 yr old and 12 yr old pitbull-type dogs. She kept in regular contact with us to give us updates and sent us multiple photos.

Sarah took great care of Mara, kept an eye on a sore leg she had, and gave me daily updates. Came back to a clean house and happy pup!

Let me know if your dog has fears or anxieties about any objects or events. Are they reactive to other animals or people? Will they try to escape from a fenced yard? I am particularly concerned with anything involving safety of the dog and others around it. And of course, logistics. Does your dog sleep in a crate overnight? What is their feeding routine? Are they reliably housebroken? How often do they need potty breaks? Then the fun stuff! Does your dog like to play? What style of play do they like? Do they have a favorite toy? What adventures or outings might they enjoy - or would they rather hang out in the house and chill?
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.
