Highlights
Pet care experience
Hardworking/Experienced Walker
Hello, my name is Sarah W and I am a Professional Pet Sitter. Pet sitting and dogwalking has been my full-time job for over 8 years. I have my own insurance through Pet Sitter's Associates and am a proud member of Pet Sitters International. I love pets and also take my job very seriously. I communicate a lot and make sure you and the pets feel safe with me. I am respectful to every home I am in and try to leave it in the same or better condition when I leave. I have enjoyed working for Rover, and also Wag!, since September 2019. Prior to that I worked for Sassypaws, a pet care company in the Oak Park area, for two years. While with them I walked up to 9 dogs daily, and cared for some incredible cats. Along with dogwalking, I have a background working with children, teens, and adults with special needs. I graduated with a degree in Psychology from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2012. I have worked for SEASPAR, Southeast Association of Special Parks and Recreation, as a Program Assistant and a Special Olympics coach. I have experience walking puppies, older dogs, multiple dogs, and doing cat care. I am a passionate animal lover that loves my family, work and rock-climbing. I would love to schedule a meet and greet to see if I am the right fit for your family. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment
I respect every pet, and every home I am in. I know each pet has a routine and I try to stick to that as best I can. I understand that you are your pets best friend and spokesperson. YOU are the expert. I know a lot but will never assume I know more than you about your pet. I will always do my best to follow the schedule you have established for your pet/pets.
Ratings and reviews
Sarah was very prompt and reliable and I’m so happy Millie and I found her!
Sarah did a wonderful job! She made three scheduled visits, checked in with us each time, and all five kitties came out to see her, which is a miracle. She has that intuitive connection to the cats. Plus, we really enjoyed seeing the pictures she saved for us.
Sarah is great! She was quick to respond/gave me updates when she was walking our dog. Highly recommend!
This was my first time using Rover for house sitting. Sarah did a great job and completely put my mind at ease. She took great care of my babies while I was gone and provided lots of great updates during her stay. Will definitely use her pet sitting services again!
Sarah was great with Hunter and Avery! She kept us informed and sent us pictures.
Sarah was absolutely wonderful with my cats! Very easy to communicate with, reliable, trustworthy, and so thoughtful! It was a relief to leave my babies in such good hands. During my trip each day I looked forward to the daily reports and pictures, and this put my mind at ease! I will absolutely book again with Sarah!

- It is important for me to know the dog's/cat's routine and temperament. I want the dog/cat to be as happy and stress free as possible. It is important for me to bond with the animal and make sure they feel comfortable with me. Please let me know how you want me to interact with your pet!
