Safety, trust & environment

I can come by your house and make sure your fur baby is fed, let out to go potty or taken for a walk, given fresh water, has playtime, and give them lots of love and belly rubs while you're away! In addition to that I can also clean their ears, trim and file their nails at home, spot shave any matting, brush out your dog, provide a comfort cut, or even take your pet to work with me for a day at the spa!

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, medical conditions, allergies, anxieties, or specific routines I should be aware of so I can provide the best possible care. I’m happy to accommodate medication schedules, dietary restrictions, mobility limitations, or behavioral sensitivities. The more I know about your pet’s preferences, triggers, and daily habits, the better I can make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

A typical day

When I’m pet sitting, I focus on making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and mentally stimulated while their owner is away. I love incorporating fun enrichment like treat “find it” games, mini obstacle courses, and practicing basic commands or tricks to keep them engaged and confident. For high-energy pups, I provide structured playtime and purposeful walks that allow plenty of sniffing and exploration. For more relaxed or senior pets, I prioritize calm bonding time with gentle brushing, light massage, and cozy companionship. As a professional dog groomer, I’m very attentive to behavior, body language, and comfort levels, so I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and needs. My goal is always to send them home happy, exercised, and feeling secure.

Sarah has been an absolute blessing for me and my dog. As a flight attendant, I’m often out of the country for days at a time, and it gives me complete peace of mind knowing my pup is in her care. She’s responsible, caring and genuinely loving with all animals. I never have to worry when I’m away because I know she’s being cared for so well and in a way where I can be gone without worry. I trust her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter!

I was so excited when Sarah told me she took the leap and signed up for rover. I utilize rover to care for my 5 cats, and through my experience, I just know she’s the perfect fit. I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough as a pet sitter. Where people may have let her down in life, animals never have and that’s exactly why she connects with them in such a special way. Her love for animals isn’t just something she says..it shows in everything she does. Sarah is exceptional with all animals and truly cares for them on a deep level. She is responsible, trustworthy, and incredibly attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Animals naturally gravitate toward her because they feel safe and loved in her care. She has dogs of her own and grew up surrounded by family pets, so caring for animals has always been second nature to her. On top of that, she is a professional dog groomer full-time, which means she has hands-on experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. She understands animal behavior, health, and comfort in a way that only comes from years of experience. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Sarah caring for their furry family member. She is not just a pet sitter, she is someone who will treat your pets like her own. I know it’s hard to gain confidence in a sitter without reviews, but everyone has to start somewhere and you can rest assured your pets will be happy, safe and given exceptional care by having Sarah care for them.
