Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet care for any size and age!
I'm known as the dog whisperer to my clients! I have completed over two hundred dog walks and about fifty overnight stays. Before Rover, I worked under a local trainer in Los Angeles who ran their own pet sitting company. Experienced with various ages/sized dogs and different types of collars/harnesses they use. Rescued pets are so dear to my heart and I have worked with most of those pups throughout the years! Been taking care of pets for the past 27 years. Raised and trained my own Toy Poodle from when they were a puppy to age 16. Grew up with a Golden Retriever, Toy Poodle, two cats and bunnies. My specialties include senior dog care, pets with anxiety, rescued animals and any fur babies that need extra attention. Worked with dogs, cats, birds and koi fish. Love photographing animals, you can see some of my fun pictures in my bio! I take a very peaceful and slow approach when meeting your pet(s) to give them the time they need to be acclimated to meeting someone new. Pets tend to notice my calm demeanor and playful nature right away! Looking forward to providing your pet/pets with any pet care services they need. Many of my past clients have told me they never have to worry about their pets while they are away.

Sarah also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I take pets out for walks or out to the backyard depending on client's instructions. Feed, nurture, give medication if they take any, change diapers and play with the pets according to their needs. Change potty pads and tidy up any crates as needed. Make sure water bowls are refilled at all times. Always leave a client's home in the same state as when I arrived or cleaner if there was a pet mess. Clean up any bathroom accidents that the pet had. For cats, I will be cleaning out the litter box daily. I also have my own pet care insurance.
Ratings and reviews
Sarah has been an excellent sitter for my two kitties! She goes above and beyond for them. Would definitely book with her again :)
Sarah is a fantastic sitter. She communicated frequently and she takes the best pictures! I’d recommend her to anyone.
Sarah is truly a gem! She immediately hit it off with our 2-year old golden retriever Jackson. She took him on several walks throughout the day and we could see from the pictures she sent that our boy was having a great day while we were away. Sarah is warm, friendly, reliable and clearly loves caring for our furry companions. We highly recommend Sarah and will definitely ask her to stay with Jackson again.
Sarah is great!! She’s kind and considerate. My dog loves spending time with her and I never have to worry when he’s in her care. Don’t hesitate to book her
Sarah is a truly great sitter! She’s reliable. D always shows up on time and checks in at multiple points throughout the stay. She sends great photos and she’s very thoughtful and respectful of my space. Often leaving it cleaner than when she arrived. I will absolutely use her again!
Sarah was great with my senior dog. He has separation anxiety, and she did a great job being present with him, keeping him calm, and making sure he felt comfortable.
