Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

I like to meet the pet with the parents in advance of my visit during a Meet and Greet so that the pet will be comfortable with me one-on-one. As a proud rescue dog mom, I understand that building trust with a pet is so important. I like to know pets' temperaments and what their typical daily routines are so that I keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while their parents are away!

A typical day

I give pets lots of attention, from belly scratches and snuggling to playing fetch or tug of war. I can play inside and outside and do whatever the pet and its owner wants! I love giving treats, too.

Pet care experience

I am a rescue dog mom and military wife (currently going through a divorce) with a genuine love for animals! I grew up with cats and dogs, helped friends with pet-sitting in college, and fostered a few dogs with various temperaments through rescue organizations. One of my own dogs is anxious, and my other dog is reactive, so I know how to navigate those issues with my clients’ pets. I understand the importance of exercise and attention for animals to be happy, healthy, and calm. I would love to come walk/jog, play, and cuddle your pet to ease your mind while you are away! I can administer meds if needed, too. I am happy to help your fur baby however I can! ❤️

Sarah was amazing! She communicated well throughout the visits. My cat Sasha was well cared for while I was away. I would highly recommend Sarah and will be using her again in 2 weeks.

Sarah helped me on incredibly short notice when I came down with the flu. I have a highly active dog and she was available to get out all of her energy on long and exciting excursions! I'm incredibly grateful and Willow absolutely loved the time with her. I 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.
