Availability
Currently I work a hybrid work schedule that offers very flexible hours. I am typically not available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 8:30 am - 5:30 pm -- but if booking for week of service I may be able to adjust my schedule! In my personal work-from-home life, I take frequent, short breaks to play or cuddle with my pets. I typically go on a long walk each day and would love for my daily walk to include a pet drop-in and/or walk with your dog!

About Sarah W.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am not open to hosting any pets at my home, but I am diligent and thoughtful. I will always ensure doors are secure if there are any "escape artists" that like to make a break for the door. I will always make sure leashes/harnesses are secure before leaving your home, and make sure they stay on until we are back inside the home and doors are secure.
Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs ahead of time. I'd love to know if they are generally shy or have high energy so I can make my meet and greet a successful and positive experience for everyone!
A typical day
For pups I am able to go on long or short walks. I can lightly jog with dogs who enjoy that. Tug of war is one of my personal favorites. Mental stimulation is also important. If you dog enjoys snuffle mats or kong balls filled with treats I am happy to create that enrichment! With cats I am an experienced "stringer" and enjoy hiding treats to be discovered later. I can create cat "busy boxes", toss treats if they enjoy chasing after them, and all around provide a great lap for the cuddly cats!

Pet care experience
I grew up with large dogs as part of the family, and now have 2 loving cats that bring me endless joy every day. Caring for pets as beloved family members has always been close to my heart. Ensuring they receive proper food, water, and plenty of attention is a top priority for me. After the pandemic, I planned to adopt a dog, but life had other plans, and two cats in need found their way into my home. For the past three years, I’ve cared for them with love, and I still cherish every opportunity to play with and look after the dogs of family and friends. I look forward to bringing that same level of care to your pets!

Reviews
Sarah is hands-down the best pet sitter we have ever hired! We left our dog Everest and cat Eli in her care for the weekend, and she provided total peace of mind from start to finish. Her drop-in visit cards were so thorough, thoughtful, and filled with photos. She made sure Everest got plenty of exercise playing fetch (even improvising indoors when it rained!) and gave Eli so much love and playtime with his favorite wand toys. She paid close attention to every detail of their routines, feedings, and treats. We came home to very happy, relaxed pets.
Sarah was was great taking care of our GSD through drop in visits over the weekend. Great and responsive communication. Multiple pictures and summaries of every visit. We felt it girl was being well cared for and having fun ❤️
Sarah was incredible with my cat, Bean. She played with her in new ways every day which I know bean appreciated. I will certainly book with Sarah in the future!
We are so fortunate to have found Sarah on Rover! We could not have asked for a more patient and understanding friend to our Tilley, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter! Great communication and flexibility during her visit, would definitely book her again!
