Safety, trust & environment

Lots of love! Often pets will sleep at my feet or in my lap while I teach from home. I used to be a teacher for HRM so I’ve had many criminal record checks.

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

I may have my daughter with me so please make sure you ask if your dog might not be child friendly. She’s very good with pets as we’ve had dogs her entire life.

A typical day

I teach virtually and my classes begin around 6-7am. I teach usually until around 10-11. I work again from 1-4 typically. I have the majority of the day to hang out with your animals going for walks etc.

Pet care experience

I owned a pet sitting business for 5 years. I have experience with dogs and cats. My business was home based and I slept with the pets in my bedroom where necessary. I’m kind and compassionate and love animals! I currently work from home so I have lots of time for pet care! I am very active and love to go for walks during my pet sitting. It would be great if my 9 year old daughter could do the house/pet sitting with me :)

Sarah took great care of our girls! Our senior dog needs some patience and is sometimes suspicious of me people but she liked Sarah right away on the first meeting! Our younger dog was engaged and happy. She is higher energy and she has a great couple of days. Thanks Sarah!

Sarah and her daughter were absolutely wonderful caretakers for our golden retriever and cat during their 9-night stay. Communication was excellent—they kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pets received tons of attention, and our dog enjoyed his daily walks. We came home to happy animals and a well-cared-for home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, loving pet care!

Sarah was amazing! She helped me out with a last minute sit and took great care of the house and the dogs. I would highly recommend.

Sarah and Melinda took care of two of our dogs and did an excellent job. We got daily updates and our dogs surely loved their care. My house was cleaner than when I left! Highly recommend Sarah!

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.
