Pet care experience
Hi!! My name is Saskia and I was born and raised in Germany. In December 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 pats 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 (3 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 buddy to play with. If your fur baby likes it more quiet she will understand that as well and just give some gentle pats 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.
Reviews

Bella is always in good hands with Saskia and family. Thank you!!


She is such a great sitter! I love getting all the updates and photos.

Saskia was great with our dog. He loved staying with her family, and she sent us pictures and descriptions of his day on a daily basis.

Saskia and family took great care of Bella! Bella could be very difficult when taking medication. They ensured the medication was administered daily and found different ways to give her medicine. They were very kind and I was updated about Bella on daily basis. Thank you!!

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 ☺️
Home
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.

Availability
I am lucky to be able to be a stay at home mom to my 3 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 my home. I personally love going for walks everyday, so if your doggo needs exercise and loves going for walks we are a great match!
