I’m currently taking a break from my full time role as an Event Director, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop in visit, or some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and am happy to work with your schedule whenever possible.

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

Before our visit, I’d love to learn a little about your pup so I can make them feel as comfortable as possible! Things like their daily routine, favorite activities and treats, any fears or anxieties, how they do around other dogs and people, any medications or special needs, and any commands or house rules you’d like me to follow. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

A typical day

I’m lucky enough to live in a very walkable neighborhood as well as near a couple parks! I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, so our time together will really depend on what they enjoy most! Whether that’s a long sniffy walk, a game of fetch, a trip to the park, playing with their favorite toys, or just curling up on the couch for some cuddles, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. My goal is for your pup to feel safe, loved, and like they’re hanging out with a new friend while you’re away. I’ll also do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and at home.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Sarah. I’m new to Rover and currently taking a break from my role as an Event Director. I thought there couldn’t be a better way to spend this time than giving some extra love and attention to dogs. I grew up with dogs my entire life and have missed having one around every day. My first dog was a Dalmatian, and later I had a Bichon Poodle who completely stole my heart. While I’m not in a place to have a dog of my own full time right now, I finally have the time, flexibility, and space to care for yours as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, cuddles, or just a caring companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I know how important it is to trust the person you’re leaving your best friend with, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. A little about me outside of dogs: I love Disney, art, dance, design, great music, the beach, spending time in nature, and finding little moments of joy in everyday life. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member!

Sarah is a dream dog sitter! She is super responsive and sent pictures and updates and took great care of our girl.

We were lucky enough to have Sarah as our sitter for our our puppy, Waffles. Sarah came in and absolutely saved the day and showed up for us in a very last minute, unexpected situation. She is a wonderful communicator, has an incredibly kind presence, and made us feel at ease throughout our whole process together. She took care of our sweetie for almost a week and regularly sent us adorable pictures and updates. We truly cannot recommend her enough. She is experienced, incredibly kind, and communicative, the best qualities one could hope for in a dog sitter ❤️

Sarah is great! The dogs absolutely love her, she is very attentive and does a great job of taking care of my two high energy pups.

Sarah has always been wonderful with dogs. She helped care for our family Dalmatian, Sparky, and our Bichon Poodle, Coco, and since moving out has continued dog sitting and walking our sister Tatiana’s Goldendoodle, Baloo, as well as our dad’s dog, Latte. She’s patient, dependable, and genuinely loves animals. I would trust her with any pet and know they would be treated with the same love, care, and attention she’d give her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter or walker
