About: Hi, I’m Sara, and I’ve always had a strong passion for animals. I grew up in a family that has always had pets. Right now, I have two dogs and four cats. I went to Eastern Suffolk BOCES for my senior year and took the animal science program there, where I gained a lot more experience and knowledge in looking after cats and dogs, as well as other animals like guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, and more. After BOCES I moved on to the vet sci program ant SUNY Delhi where I learned a lot at a professional level but I ended up coming home because I decided I wanted to change my career path but I still love animals so much and still want to work with them, So I decided to do pet sitting or walking! Anytime we need any done for the pets I get it done. My pets are very spoiled, and my favorite thing to do is walk my dogs. My pets mean the world to me, and I’m sure yours mean the world to you as well. I would love to be your trusted dog/cat sitter or walker. size/age of pet does not matter or bother me at all! Please reach out to me for any questions! I currently work at a school and my hours are 7:55 to 2:05 Monday through Friday. For pet sitting I can either house sit or I would be able to stop in the morning before work, after work around 2:30-3 and then any other times in the evening! for dog walking I can do as soon as I get out of work or weekends! I would make sure the environment your pet is staying in is safe! clean up any possible hazards, any messes, clean up after they eat. I will also make sure they are staying active by playing or walking and keeping a close eye on them when they are outside or keep them on a leash! I would keep you updated as much as possible with selfies and pictures with your pet. As for walking I will keep a safe distance from others and pay attention strictly to your pet!
“I cannot express how grateful and delighted I am to have found Ioanna as my dog walker! From day one, she has gone above and beyond in taking care of my beloved fur baby. And a quiet recently added fur baby. Every time Waffles and Rain goes out with Ioanna, they come back happy and content, clearly having had a wonderful time on their adventures. What truly sets her apart is the genuine love and affection displayed towards my pups and the attention to detail in her service. During days of care, Ioanna ensured that Waffles and Rain always had plenty of water and a comfortable, place to rest. On rainy days, we could always count on high spirits and excellent care, never once cancelling due to weather. Moreover, her flexibility and reliability are commendable, accommodating any last-minute schedule changes with a smile. In addition to providing outstanding walks, Ioanna goes the extra mile, sending updates and adorable pictures from the walk and fun times during visits, which always brighten my day. It's comforting to know my pups are in such capable and caring hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Ioanna to anyone in need of a trustworthy and exceptional dog walker. Thanks to her, not only are Waffles and Rain healthier and happier, but we have found peace of mind knowing they’re in such wonderful care. Thank you, Ioanna, for being such a fantastic and compassionate friend to my beloved pups. I’m so lucky to have you!”

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
