I stay home with my kiddos and we homeschool, so even if I need to be gone, at least one of my teens are usually home. It's rare that we are away, so your dog would get lots of attention! We have some regular clients we do drop in visits for daily on weekdays.

I do not have a fenced yard, but I do have access to using neighbors fenced yards if needed. Your dog would get multiple walks when they need to go potty, but I also try to do longer walks depending on their health, weather, etc.

Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet

I definitely want to make sure the dog is friendly with children, as I have 4, one of them still in toddlerhood. On a drop in or walk, I can be on my own, but for dog sitting jobs, most likely my kids would be around, so kid friendly is a must! I also always like to know any likes/dislikes the dog has, health history/medication, vet information (just in case), whether the dog is friendly with other dogs, any food aggression, owner preferences, etc.

A typical day

My neighborhood has decent walking trails/sidewalks. If I am cleared to take the dog other places, I love to make things more interesting by going to other nearby parks, especially on sitting jobs longer than a couple of days. I typically try to do two good walks a day, depending on the dogs health, energy level, and normal activity level in addition to regular trips to potty and playtime.

Pet care experience

I am outgoing, energetic, friendly, and upbeat. I have had many years experience caring for both dogs and other animals; whether my own, through pet sitting, dog walking, or in my job(s) at veterinary hospitals. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds of dogs. I am able to give meds or injections if needed. I am available for drop in visits, walks, or overnight pet sitting in my home or drop in visits at yours. I stay at home, so my hours and availability are extremely flexible. I love getting to visit or host other dogs, especially as I don't currently have any fur babies of my own. I really enjoy spending time with the dogs I care for, and past clients of mine have become like family! I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom of three girls, 18, 13, 10, and one 3 year old boy (who are all very comfortable and gentle with dogs). Dogs who stay with us are given all kinds of love and attention! While I don't have a fenced yard, we do frequent walks and also have access to neighbors yards that are fenced.

I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter that is kind, responsible and knowledgeable. I didn’t worry about my high maintenance pup while we were on vacation, knowing she and her family were taking good care of him. I really appreciated that she sent me pictures and updates. Better book in advance though because she’s great!

Sarah watched our two pups for several days while we were out of town over the holiday. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced. We really appreciated her flexibility and all the updates she sent so we knew Bennie and Jetta were doing well. She and her family took excellent care of them and made sure our dogs got lots of exercise, sunshine, and snuggles! Would definitely recommend Sarah!

Sarah has been wonderful with my animals since day one and every day after. I trust her 100% with them. She comes over once during the day when I’m at work and I even entrusted her when I left my fur babies for a week for vacation. She even helped trained my puppy to use the bells on the back door to let me know when he has to potty. I would highly recommend Sarah to help care for any pet!

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.
