She also takes immaculate care of the house and is responsive to texts.”
“I can't thank Sarah enough for the wonderful care they provided our dog, Joshua. Josh is usually very anxious when left alone for an extended period of time, but Sarah made him feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed. Sarah's calm and caring demeanor truly made a difference. It was such a relief to us, too, knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds has always been second nature to me. From playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, I’ve provided love, structure, and personalized care to each one. I also have hands-on experience working with sick and disabled dogs, including those who are deaf, blind, or have special medical needs. Whether it’s a hyperactive husky, a mellow bulldog, or a senior golden retriever needing a little extra TLC, I’m confident in handling it all. I know every pet is unique, and I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work remotely, which means I’m home and fully available throughout the day to care for your pets. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, or just keeping them company, your furry friend will have my full attention. I also take frequent walks around my quiet neighborhood and love visiting nearby parks—perfect for dogs who enjoy fresh air and outdoor time. Whether your pup needs a high-energy adventure or a slow stroll with lots of sniffing breaks, I’m happy to match their pace and needs. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I treat every animal in my care like family—with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love. I’m confident handling dogs of all temperaments and have experience with pets who are shy, reactive, or have special medical or mobility needs. I closely follow your instructions and routines to keep your pet feeling secure and stress-free. Whether it’s administering medications, keeping a close eye during walks, or providing updates while you’re away, you can count on me to go the extra mile for your peace of mind. You’re trusting me with a member of your family, and I take that seriously.

We can’t thank Alexa enough for coming into our home and taking such great care of our dog and two cats. She kept us updated every day with pictures and text messages. They all loved her! This was our first experience having a sitter stay in our home and it couldn’t have gone better.
Deltona was an awesome dog sitter for our 8 month old Rottweiler! She spent a lot of time at the house so that Ruby wouldn’t have to be in her crate all day and gave her lots of love while we were away! She also sent lots of pictures and videos which I always appreciate! I will definitely use her services for our future needs!
