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.

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.

Second time Sarah does drop-ins with my dog and I continue to be thrilled. Love her communication, card updates, pics, and videos on every visit. Makes me feel 100% comfortable that my pup is well cared for even when I’m thousands of miles away for work, and the updates bring a smile to my face. Can’t wait to book Sarah again soon!

Sarah was so good at keeping me informed of how Sadie was doing and sent me lots of pictures and videos! She also went above and beyond in helping me with other things around the house. She loves animals and helping people!

House Sitting • Jul 07, 2026

Sarah was awesome! She watched our dog and cat for 10 nights and you could tell they were more than comfortable with her. She made them feel very loved and she was exceptionally helpful with our dog who has bad anxiety with fireworks. She was extremely communicative and sent great pictures and updates. She even helped water all of our plants and the house was just as clean as we left it. We will definitely use Sarah again!

Sara was an excellent sitter! She was reliable, communicated clearly, and my dog was very relaxed when I got back home. She sent lots of updates and pictures. Sarah is somebody I would absolutely use again and not hesitate to recommend. She did a wonderful job and my place was cleaner when I returned than I left it.
