Highlights
Pet care experience
Pets are family too!
I’ve had a love for animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, and more. Being around animals has always been a natural part of who I am, and I understand firsthand how important pets are to their families. Their safety, happiness, and comfort always come first with me. I recently returned from a temporary leave of absence while serving on military mobilization and am excited to reopen my schedule for dog walking and drop-in visits. My lifestyle is very active, and I enjoy long walks, hiking, yoga, and spending time outdoors — making me a great fit for energetic pups who love extra activity and attention. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, companionship during the day, feeding, playtime, medication support, or a long walk to burn energy, I’m happy to help. I treat every animal like family and strive to make both pets and owners feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I’m available for reliable daytime or evening visits and would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies. Please feel free to message me with any questions!

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, trust, and keeping your pet comfortable within their normal routine and environment. I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure while their owners are away, so I strive to provide calm, dependable, and attentive care during every visit. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, leash handling, and household preferences. I make sure pets have fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, affection, and companionship while also respecting the client’s home and privacy. I pay close attention to animal behavior, energy levels, and surroundings to ensure pets remain safe both inside and outside the home. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I adjust my care style to fit their individual personality and needs. Communication is also very important to me, so I provide updates and photos whenever possible to help owners feel comfortable and connected while away from their pets.
Ratings and reviews
We love Sara. Betsy doesn’t leave her side. Photos galore and comforting Betsy during storms. We are also so grateful that Sara serves in our military. Thank you Sara for everything!
Sara is awesome! Our dogs are so excited to see her when she arrives. She has house sat for our 2 beagles a couple of times and we would love for her to sit for us in the future. We feel so comfortable knowing she is home taking care of our babies. She sends great updates and takes care of anything needed/asked, including our multitude of supplements we give our dogs.
Sara has become part of our family. Betsy loves her and receives Sara’s utmost attention with cuddles, walks and rides. Betsy has become more anxious as she ages and its a relief to have a sitter who keeps her calm and happy. We came home to a clean house, bedding and towels. Sara even had to deal with sheltering Betsy and herself in the closet during a tornado warning last evening. Thank you Sara!
Sara was hands down the best we have used off Rover. She showed up promptly as discussed left the best messages and pictures on the cards and loved our pups as her own ! I usually have such anxiety leaving our pups so we take less trips due to this but we trusted her reviews and she did not disappoint!! We will forever use Sara as long as she is on Rover ! I would even plan my trips around her availability to make sure she was the one watching our pups ! Thank you Sara for your great care you took of our pups you are the best !!
Sara is just great and we appreciated how well she took care of our doggos on super short notice! Sara was always punctual, communicated every visit and sent photos. We could not have asked for a better care for the pups while we were away and she will be our first request in the future. Thank you so much Sara!!!
Sara is a delight for dogs and humans alike! Our Betsy is 9 and has started getting anxious away from home so we hired Sara to stay at our home for 5 days. By the second day they were great buddies. Sara sent us photos and videos of Betsy which eased my anxiety about leaving her too. The house was very neat and Sara even washed the bedding for us. I highly recommend Sara as a house and pet sitter.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I’ve built flexibility into my schedule around my Army Reserve commitments, operating my BabyQuip business, and completing my master’s degree. My schedule allows me to provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and companionship throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so dog walks and pet visits fit very naturally into my lifestyle. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I truly enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
