Availability

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!

Information Saskia B. would like to know about your pet

It’s always better to be safe than sorry. Let me know if your dog has any needs or behaviors that I can account for. I do have experience in giving dogs oral medication.

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.

Pet care experience

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.

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.
