Safety, trust & environment

My large backyard, complete with a secure 4-foot fence, is the perfect playground for dogs to run, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors—especially on sunny days! At night, your furry friend will feel right at home. I provide a variety of cozy sleeping options, including crates, comfortable beds, and even couches for those who love to snuggle up. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment, so your pup will have a restful night’s sleep after a day full of fun.

Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet

To ensure every dog feels safe and comfortable, I ask for a medical history, including any medications or allergies, as well as any triggers that may cause anxiety—like storms or doorbells. This helps me tailor my care to meet their individual needs and create a stress-free environment.

A typical day

Since I work from home, I take breaks every couple of hours to let the dogs out for some fresh air and fun. Most dogs love to play together, chasing each other around and enjoying the space. For older or more relaxed pups, I offer a cozy spot on the steps where they can lounge next to me, enjoying some one-on-one attention and gentle pets.

Pet care experience

As a passionate dog lover, I’ve been providing dog sitting services for 20 years, and it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life! Throughout my journey, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a diverse range of breeds, from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors. Each dog has its own unique personality, and I’ve loved tailoring my care to meet their individual needs—whether it’s extra playtime, long walks, or cozy cuddle sessions on the couch. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for every dog in my care. I’ve developed strong routines that include regular feeding schedules, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation through games and training. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels loved and happy while you’re away! I also understand how important communication is. I provide daily updates and photos so you can see just how much fun your pup is having. Many of my clients have commented on how relieved they feel knowing their dogs are in capable hands. Being a dog sitter isn’t just a job for me; it’s a chance to build lasting relationships with amazing pups and their owners. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them the love and attention they deserve!

We left our 3 dogs for 6 nights with Sarah for the first time recently for a cruise. Sarah was great as 2 of our dogs are on medication and one dog also has epilepsy. She put our mind at ease as she was able to care for their special needs and she sent us photos and updates. Our dogs must have had a good time and well cared for as my Shih Tzu kept trying to run back in our house when we were trying to leave! :) Would use Sarah again. 100%.

Sarah is a caring sitter who made our middle aged dogs feel at home. They really enjoyed the fenced yard and being outside. We appreciated the frequent updates and photos. We will definitely book with Sarah again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
