About Sarah W.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
When meeting, I prefer to let the pet first approach me and sniff, while talking to them in a kind, soothing voice to ease any fear or anxiety the pet may have. I love giving cuddles and pets but will follow the pet’s lead on how much attention they want. I ensure safety at every turn, preferring to walk dogs in residential neighborhoods or parks if at all possible. I am incredibly conscientious and make sure all doors and windows are securely closed and locked before leaving a home.
Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your dog’s leash manners and if there are any specific commands I should use with them. I’d also appreciate info on any dietary or medication needs for both dogs and cats, as well as how they respond to both people and other animals.
A typical day
I love to play with both dogs and cats, using the toys they love the most. I also love to give lots of attention - pets, ear scratches, and cuddles - but only if the pet wants it. I won’t force cuddles on a pet that is unsure, but I can usually win them over by the end of the stay. I enjoy taking dogs to dog parks to let them run around - so please let me know if there are any dog parks nearby that your dog loves!

Ready to be your cat’s new BFF!
Cat care experience
I’ve taken care of cats almost exclusively for the past 2 years on Rover - ranging from kittens to senior cats. I love cats of all kinds and they can tell and usually give that love back to me. I do like dogs, but I truly LOVE cats 😻 I’m the type of person who squeals at every cat she sees. And my headline comes from an old roommate calling me her cat’s BFF, because we bonded immediately. I’ve also cared for cats who have had health issues (including my own) and am extremely conscientious about veterinary diets and medications.
Reviews
Always so good to my senior kitty. Grateful for the extra pets and ear scratches.
My cats loved and trusted Sarah immediately and she was prompt in messaging, updates, and treated my pets like her own. Will be my first choice sitter for any upcoming travel!
Excellent service. Always in time and very caring.
Sarah took great care of my cat, Rufio, while I was away for the weekend. She was very responsive, gave accurate and thorough updates, and followed all of my instructions. I’d definitely recommend her!
