Pet care experience
Your fur baby will feel like home!
Hi!! My name is Saskia and I was born and raised in Germany. In 2021 I moved to the US, with my precious little dog Lady, to live with my husband. I grew up with dogs all my life, dogs all sizes and ages. There was not one time I didn’t have at least one dog around me. Until my Dachshund Lady passed at the age of 16 years in early 2023. She was my everything and I miss her dearly. This is why I appreciate Rover. I haven’t quite been ready to find a new fur baby for me yet but I have so much love and cuddles to give. I was house and dog sitting (and cat sitting!) while I traveled Australia for about 9 months in 2019-2020. It was the best time of my life getting, to do what I love most: traveling and spending time with dogs! I’m experienced with giving medication since I was dog sitting a dog with epilepsy for a couple months. And later I also had to give my dog Lady oral medication. My daughter (4 years) is very gentle and patient as well as understanding with animals of all kinds. She needs some time to warm up (as you might learn when we have a meet and greet) but she will quickly earn trust and is always excited to have a furry buddy to play with. If your fur baby likes it more quiet she will understand that as well and just give some gentle pets and cuddles. With me you will be sure I will always treat your fur baby as the precious being they are, they will be like just another family member to me. Dogs give us so much in life, it’s only fair to give it back.

Ratings and reviews
Saskia took such good care of my sweet Tala! Thank you so much!! Highly recommend!
Saskia did absolutely amazing with Lucy! We definitely would book with her again!
Thank you Saskia and family for taking care great care of Bella! With daily updates and photos, I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Bella was in good hands! I highly recommend them! Thank you again!
Absolutely amazing! My first time ever having to use a pet sitter and she went above and beyond to update me and ease my nerves. Not only did my puppy feel safe, but I did too! Could not recommend her more! 10/10 communication and responsibility.
I'm beyond grateful to have found Saskia!! My pet is very attached and I've been so worried about her when I've had to kennel her in the past. Saskia watched my dog for almost a month while my husband and I traveled and I didnt worry about Tula one bit 😅 Saskia is so incredibly attentive and caring. Knowing that my dog was in such good hands took so much stress off our trip and allowed us to truly vacation! Saskia was also super flexible when plans changed and we had to extend. Just overall an amazing petsitter and person. Couldn't recommend her more.
Saskia was so attentive and absolutely wonderful 😊 My dog can be very anxious and she settled right in, no issues! Saskia sent me a ton of updates and pictures of my pup cuddling with them and doing various things, which was great. Will definitely be using her again to pet sit!

Schedule
I am lucky to be able to be a stay at home mom to my 4 year old daughter. We are mostly home all day. If the weather allows we spend time outside in the yard or go down to the playground/park which is only 7 walking minutes away from our home. I personally love going for walks everyday, so if your doggo needs exercise and loves going for walks we are a great match!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your fur baby is welcome on the couch as well as on the bed if not directed otherwise. If you wish your dog to be crated at any time I can do that as well. I live in a rather quiet area with lots of greenery around. We have daily visitors on our porch such as squirrels, chipmunks, bunnies, birds and sometimes we are lucky to see deer in our backyard ☺️ we are currently fostering two cats as well, which get along with dogs well. One even loves to play with dogs!

A typical day
I will plan my day on regarding what your dog needs. Play time, exercise time, quiet time with lots of cuddles or even just alone time if they need to rest in their own. I will make sure your fur baby will feel at home as much as possible so you can go on with your day without any worries. If your dog requires a rather strict schedule just hand me a list and I will follow it to keep your dogs life in balance.
