Availability

I work a consistent 9–5 schedule in-office Wednesday through Friday, and outside of that I freelance, which gives me a flexible schedule and a lot of control over my availability. I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care throughout the week, and I’m very used to planning my schedule around pet routines, medication schedules, exercise needs, and quality time.

Safety, trust & environment

I believe pets (and their humans!) are happiest when their routines stay as consistent as possible, so I make it a priority to understand the unique rhythm of your home and your pet’s daily life. Every animal has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, and I adapt my care accordingly — whether that means long walks, playtime, medication administration, maintaining training routines, or simply providing calm companionship and consistency. In clients’ homes, I’m highly respectful of the space and live by a “leave no trace” mindset. I understand the level of trust involved in welcoming someone into both your home and your pet’s life, so communication, reliability, and attentiveness are extremely important to me. It's also always a priority of mine to send regular updates and photos so you can feel relaxed and connected while you’re away!

Pet care experience

Among friends, family, and colleagues, I’ve been the go-to house and pet sitter for over 8 years — and now I’m finally expanding beyond word of mouth! I grew up partially on a farm and have spent my life around animals of all kinds, which has given me hands-on experience caring for everything from horses, dogs, and newborn kittens to zebras, reptiles, and goats. I’m comfortable with pets of different temperaments, ages, and energy levels, including senior pets and animals that need extra patience or routine-focused care. In my free time, I volunteer at an animal sanctuary in Myakka and work with horses through equine therapy programs and trail riding outfits. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for them while their owners are away. Let me help you help me! My biggest priority is respecting both your pet’s routine and your home. I aim to keep things feeling as easy and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.

Sage is dependable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. The dogs immediately felt comfortable around her, and it gave us peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for while away. Communicating with Sage is easy, she gives plenty of updates annd ensures our pets stay happy, active, and on normal routine. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
