Safety, trust & environment

I love spoiling the fur babies! From all the pets, complimenting their stretches, playing and walking, homemade treats or lick mats. and taking adorable photos. Mia our 10 year old Shepard mix is very loud but sweet and warms up quickly, if you have a dog that does the same it will not bother me one bit. I am very observant and when seeing a pet regularly, I notice changes in weight, mood, and other demeanors that could indicate an issue. I’m happy to entertain them by playing with their favorite toys, playing outside or going for a walk.

Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs. I am generally okay to work with whatever accommodations your pet may need, including extra patience for a pet that takes time to warm up.

A typical day

My day depends on the needs of the pet. For my pets, breakfast is served bright and early. This is followed by some outside time and a walk for my pup Mia. Both pets are given enrichment mats in the afternoon. I love finding different things to keep them busy and entertained!

Pet care experience

I grew up in a household with an ever revolving door of pets, ranging from cats & dogs to hedgehogs and iguanas. About 12 years ago, I started working for our local vet and stayed with this for a year until I was able to find a full time job. This job was wonderful, being beside our vet assisting in different treatments. I currently have my own cat and dog that I care for daily as well as I regularly pet sit for friends and family.

Sarah took great care of our cats while we were away for a week. She sent daily updates and pictures. So nice to know they were in great hands while we were away.

Sarah did a great job. Our dog is shy and she went the extra mile to make her comfortable. She also communicated with us daily. Sarah stayed overnight at our house and left everything in great condition. I would definitely book her 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.
