Highlights
Pet care experience
Hello from your🐰🐢🐱🐶new bestie!
I grew up in a home filled with animals, so caring for furry family members has always come naturally to me. During the 7+ years I lived in Philadelphia, I taught at a large charter school and began house and pet sitting on the side for fellow teachers and staff. Over the years, I had the privilege of caring for so many sweet furry babies, including pets who needed extra attention, medication, and around-the-clock care. I truly grew attached to many of them and missed them dearly when my Philly chapter came to a close in 2024. Today, I proudly call Sacramento home and am excited to share that same love and care with a new community of pet friends! I’m a firm believer that animals can see and feel the energy of humans in ways we sometimes cannot. I lead with warmth, patience, attentiveness, and genuinely good energy…and animals tend to pick up on that pretty quickly. I’ve yet to meet a furry friend who didn’t eventually warm up to me. 😊 I’m especially comfortable caring for pets who need a little extra support, including administering medications, following detailed routines, and providing consistent care throughout the day or night. I work best with thoughtful pet parents who deeply care for their animals, their homes, and the energy within both. When you book with me, you can expect plenty of LOVE, communication, respect for your space, and most importantly…ACCOUNTABILITY. 💛
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Interactive pup toys to keep them engaged (i.e Kongs, Hide&Seek Treats) My energy can be extremely high most times so playtime is always a thing both indoors and out!! On a chill day/evening you’ll find my toddler (if approved) and I cuddled up or sprawled out on the floor with your fur babies vibing.🕯️
Ratings and reviews
Adara was great with our Ruth. She was in constant contact with me throughout the entire process. Ruth was a bit skittish at first, but warmed up to Adara throughout the week, to the point Ruth was waiting for her by the door every afternoon. We would definitely use Adara again.
Adara watched our dog, Winnie, for a week this summer. Adara was communicative and responsive to me before, during, and after. Winnie was in excellent hands. It is clear that Adara loves animals, and she was very nurturing and calm to our sometimes anxious dog. She sent me photos and videos, which I really appreciated. I had no worries leaving my pup with Adara, and I will definitely have her watch Winnie again. If you are looking for a pet sitter, I highly recommend Adara. She is kind, caring, responsible, and communicative. You won’t be disappointed.
adara is the best!! couldn’t recommend her more.
There is a book called, Your dog is your mirror. I highly recommend it for anyone who is curious about understanding how their dog mirrors their energy/behavior/way of being. When I got my dog back from spending one month with Adara it was pretty clear who Adara was…Sammy my dog was calm, stoic, happy, sweet, patient and more loving. Honestly he was a better version of himself than he was with me. It’s pretty clear Sammy had enough time to embody the energy/characteristics/behavior that Adara exemplifies. I guess it’s similar to when you send your dog to obedience school or even sending your child to a school with good values and morals. Obviously the most important thing is that my dog was well cared for but Adara went far beyond just dog sitting she actually improved the quality of my dogs way of being and in turn allowed me to see myself a little better in the process. All of this was unexpected, I am so grateful to have found Adara as she did more than take care of my dog, she also took care of me.
Adara is a wonderful sitter! Her communication was stellar. Our cats are messy eaters, so I especially appreciate how she cleaned up after them every visit. I would definitely rebook and recommend her to others.
Adara is a very caring and loving person and pet sitter. She will treat your pet like it was her own. Your pet will be in great hands!

Schedule
I work remotely and have plenty of time to share with your furry family members. I love nature and take many walks/hikes as a form of self care. I’m sure we can work just about anything out—flexibility is our middle name😉.”
