Highlights
Pet care experience
I’ll love them like my own ❤️🐾
I’ve been caring for pets on Rover for the last two years and recently transitioned to working full-time as a pet care provider while also returning to school! I have experience with drop-in care, walks, boarding, and doggy day care. My wife and I are currently parents to five of the sweetest felines and recently began to foster with Paws. We have cared for pregnant cats, assisted with the birthing process, and frequently care for sick kittens and mothers. I also tend to an aquarium, a small vegetable patch in the summer, and lots of houseplants. For pet parents new to Rover: Welcome and thank you for checking out my profile! After you send me the initial message, I will do my best to respond within a couple hours. We will then chat about your needs and if I’m available to complete the sit. We can then set up a Meet & Greet where you and your pet(s) can meet me (these will occur in your home). If we are both comfortable at this point, we’ll then confirm the booking. On the day(s) of the sit, I will send you updates via a Rover Card in the app. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me! During our Meet & Greet, we’ll go over all your pet’s care needs and I’ll meet your fur baby so we’re acquainted while they feel comfortable with you home. During a drop-in, I’ll complete the tasks we discussed, show your nugget lots of love, and send written updates and photos through the app. Additional notes: - I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19. -It’s not uncommon for cats to be shy and not want to interact with me, leaving me just sitting and doing little during drop-ins. If you’d like, we can adjust the time I spend in your home and discount my service fee. I’m also open to doing some additional chores that may reduce your stress when you come home such as sweeping or getting the mail. - For drop ins that are more than 4 miles from my home, I charge an additional $2/mile. The distance is based on a Google map route from my home to yours. The distance shown on Rover is based only on a radius and straight shot between us, not accounting for the actual mileage on the road. I look forward to hearing from you!

Safety, trust & environment
I am very careful upon entering your home as many cats are escape artists. All door codes/keys are kept with me and not shared. When walking dogs, I always use a leash and harness (when provided); off-leash walks will not occur to keep everyone as safe, and close, as possible. I also pay close attention to gates and fences to keep your fur babies secure in your yard.
Ratings and reviews
Sarah is the best you can find! She will care for your pets like they are her own and get to know their preferences for interacting and play time!
Your furry children will be so happy to have Sarah care for them and you can leave them with peace of mind knowing they are in good hands!
Sarah is the very best and my furry kitties adore her! They look forward to her visits and the daily updates fill me with joy as is it always a story of their adventures. Leaving them home while traveling is easier now knowing they are in such good hands!
Sarah is by far the best cat sitter we have ever had! She writes the best updates and your animals are sure to love it when she comes!
Sarah is the very next cat sitter there is! She is so thorough, gives the best daily reports, and knows how to cater to all different personalities. You can leave your pets behind knowing they will be well cared for!
As always, Sarah went above and beyond. So grateful to have her taking care of the fur babies while we were away.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I am currently attending school full-time at Everett Community College in a fully remote program. This leaves my daily schedule fairly flexible! **Please note that my current midday schedule for lunchtime drop-ins (11am-2pm) is near capacity. I will do my best to accommodate requests but please be aware that this is a very popular timeframe!
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsSarah can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- During our Meet & Greet, we will discuss any allergies, medications, mobility restrictions, harnesses for walks, friendliness toward other animals (though I always steer clear or other animals when outside to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort), and tolerance for small children (I also coach approaching kiddos through appropriate greetings to avoid anyone getting spooked- if your pup is child friendly). I always request written instructions to be left out while you're gone or detailed care notes in the Rover app. Please think about how you'd like me to access your home while you're away- do you have a spare key to hand-off during the M&G? Do you have a lockbox you can keep outside? Is there a door or garage code set up for guests? Having this plan in place helps for a smooth transition :)
