Loves to taking care of animals
Pet care experience
My name is Sarah. I have been pet sitting and dog walking for over the last 6 years. I have a degree from OSU in animal science. I’m not sure on my steps for education I’m still working that out.I have worked with a variety of animals.I enjoy being with and taking care of animals. I have done a variety of petsitting and dog walking over the years. One of my clients i had to watch/walk 2 dogs, 3 cats, 6 guineapigs and a number of chickens. It was fun and loved it. I have done a lot of jobs and they have all been fun and rewarding. That is why I chose to do this on the side. It also helps having a more experience with a variety of animals for career goals. Thank you for reading my introduction paragraph. I hope you enjoyed meeting me a little. I hope to hear from you soon. I have volunteered at the animal shelters in Corvallis and Hillsboro Oregon. from cleaning cages and walking dogs to restraining animals and giving vaccinations. I am currently working the the Oregon National Primate Research Center taking care of the research monkeys and having fun doing it. I have many references from lovely pet owners. Why I love dog sitting I have been petsitting/dog walking for over 6 years. I got started because I needed some kind of income because of a job loss. Since then i have been doing it off and on since then. I have also had pets growing up and beyond and love being around them. they just make me happy and I know they are happy being around me. Like i said in my intro. I guess i have just always loved animals growing up around them. Not much more to say. My experience administering medication Yes. I have given pills and injections
Reviews
My both cats were happy to see her. They did good without me. She missed a few to-do lists to complete. She forgot to fill up the feeder which I noticed when I was on vacation. I had to tell her to rush to fill up the feeder after getting the network after 5days on vacation. The food was about to finish just then. My suggestion is to be a little more proactive on this job.
Worst sitter I’ve ever had through Rover. They lost the key to my apartment and neglected to tell me a FULL DAY after the first visit was supposed to happen. Now I have to pay to make replacement spare keys. The communication with this sitter overall was awful, with them neglecting to message me important information in a prompt manner. When I came home the lights in the kitchen were left on. The sitter also moved the automatic feeder, completely removed the food bowl so the food would dispense all over the floor, and filled the bowl with water instead of the designated water bowl. My pet was extra anxious when I returned home. I would not recommend them to anyone.
My dogs love her and they are always happy and healthy when I return.
My cat made it through 2 1/2 weeks without me thanks to Sarah. I was very worried since it was my first time using Rover but I felt much more at ease once she started checking in on my kitty! The litter was scooped, her food was checked, and she played with her each visit!
