House Sitting In Merry Oaks

“Erin was a wonderful house+dog sitter and I would certainly book again. She had an immediate rapport with my somewhat selective, fear-reactive pittie mix. The attentiveness, presence and communication (including some photos) were exceptional throughout the long weekend. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for dogsitting.”

“Our girls had the best time playing with Christina and her dog, Wilbur! It was a muddy weekend and Christina cleaned our floors before our return, which I greatly appreciated! She also took our dogs to the dog park to play after being inside for a while due to the rain. She is the best and always takes such good care of our girls and our home!”

About: I have cared for pets all my life! From dogs and cats to guinea pigs, rats, and fish, I am comfortable in many different situations! I have cared for elderly dogs as well as kittens. I can administer medications and I have experience caring for kittens post fixing. I can handle many different temperments and can adjust my approach based off the fur babies personalities and needs. I am willing to work with you and my schedule is flexible! I work full time but am available for potty breaks during my lunch each day and will always prioritize being home for the pets I watch especially during overnights. I am very consistent about meal times, snack times, potty breaks, and changing litter boxes (or other various cages/tanks). I am always mindful about how much time I am away from the pets, making sure my time is primarily spent with them (if overnight). I am athletic and happy to do extensive walking with dogs! I also make sure to follow pet parents' schedules and ask any questions as they come up. As a pet parent myself, I always want the fur babies to be comfortable and at ease with me as much as possible.

“Sonny took such great care of our dogs—Mila, Biscuit, and Bagel—while we were away for 10 days. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Sonny was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated and loved seeing. Our pups looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for the whole time. We’d absolutely trust Sonny with them again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”

“Elicia was absolutely incredible! My dog was obsessed with her and warmed up to her right away when he is usually a lot more shy. She gave him so much love and provided lots of updates! 10/10 would definitely love to rebook Elicia!”

“As first time Rover users we were nervous to leave our girls for such a long period. But, Jen did a great job with them and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and photos! Thanks Jen!!”

“Lori did a wonderful job house sitting with Luna and Oliver, and I’m so happy she took them for daily walks! Lori met all of my expectations! Will book again.”

“Catie was the best! Super duper pleased with the way she cared for my crew and my home. Excited to have a new regular sitter!”

“Angela was wonderful and took great care of our indoor/outdoor cat. She was great with sending updates/communication, and sent us the cutest of pictures while we were on vacation. Highly recommend!”

Russell & Frieda S.

“Amazing!! She took very good care of my girls and they are a handful lol!! Great communication with calls/texts/videos. I was able to relax on my trip knowing my place and babies were cared for 🥰.”

Amanda Y.

“Melissa was the BEST! She got our shyest kitty out of hiding with her kindness and patience. She has such a calm demeanor that made our dog and 2 cats fall in love with her! She went above and beyond to send pictures, updates, and make our babies feel loved while we were out of town!! Will definitely be booking with her again.”

Julianna H.

“Cealey was so incredibly sweet, we were in town for two days, and she responded very quickly to come and take care of our two cats in our hotel room. It’s our first time traveling with our cats and she was able to get them out of their shell. I definitely recommend hiring her to take care of your fur babies! Thank you Cealey!”

Megan W.

“Angela was wonderful with our dog. She provided updates multiple times a day and did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend her and will be rebooking with her for a future trip.”

Danielle K.

“Jade was amazing, great communication all the way through. The cats were all looked after well, she even handled our newest addition who is at the end (we hope) of his kitten stages with 4am zoomies around the house knocking everything over. We would definitely welcome Jade back and we hope she sits for us again.”

Sarah S.

“Christa was so kind and took extra care with my fur babies to ensure that they felt safe and cared for. Thank you for the extra assurance while I was traveling, and for the punctual communication.”

Brittany T.

“Simone was very attentive and understanding of my dogs timid behavior and her routine for walks and potty breaks. She provided me with pictures and updates when I asked and was a great person to help take care of Reese during my trip out of town.”

Melissa V.

“Makeda took great care of our 4 aging pups during our weekend away. It was such a weight off to know they were in such good hands - she kept us up to date with all their fun antics and concerns which was much appreciated. Thanks, Makeda!”

About: Hey I’m Sarah. I love animals and what their presence brings. In the past I worked at a dog daycare with several breeds of dogs, all shapes and sizes. I’m also on Wag with over 400 pet care services to date. I have a 2 cats at home, Pepper and Cookie Monster so for owners who have cats, no need to worry! I am a fulltime traveling music professional, but I also enjoy spending time with animals to help me be more physically active, and I believe that the way animals view the world can be beneficial and healing. I'm hoping I can apply their perspective to my writing. I'm looking forward to meeting your fur baby! I like to go on walks with dogs throughout various hours of the day from early morning to early evening when I’m not touring. I also can do drop ins and check on them for potty breaks and play! Overnights and sittings are also an option for those who are out of town. My schedule tends to be more free during the week, but sometimes I also do sittings. Open to holidays in normal days of fun with the fur babies! I try to approach new fur friends with a low calm tone of voice, a friendly demeanor, with mutual respect as I would treat any human. I see them as any other living thing on the planet that deserves equal kind treatment.

“Karissa was great with my dog! She did a couple nights with him and kept me updated throughout. My dog is a big guy and sometimes reactive and they seemed to get along great even with all of his quirks :) Would definitely book again and recommend!”

“This was our second time asking Emma to take care of our buddy while we were away for a wedding. She is just the BEST! She's so flexible and understanding (and tolerant!) of my requests while we're away. Bodhi seemed to be wonderfully cared for when we returned, and Emma always leaves the house as she found it. We're excited to book her again. Highly recommend!”
