Animal-loving Teacher

Hi, I’m Sara! As a lifelong animal-lover, I have taken care of a wide variety of animals that includes large and small dogs, cats, rodents, rabbits, exotic birds, reptiles, and many others. I also have experience caring for wild animals such as squirrels, opossums, groundhogs, fawns, and weasels through my work as a wildlife rehabilitator. I work as a Special Education teacher, which allows me to spend my summers caring for your fur babies! I have a large fenced in yard that is perfect for playing fetch or just relaxing in the sun! And if your dog is a swimmer, we have an in-ground pool that they are welcome to use! I currently have one dog, a 5-year-old poodle named Olive, who is incredibly friendly and loves playing with new friends. I also have four cats who do very well with other animals. I am comfortable caring for dogs that are not yet house-trained, senior pets, and pets with special needs.

First experience leaving Lulu with non-family member and we were very pleased with Lulu’s care! Sara is very warm and loving, Lulu even slept on her bed (as she does at our house). Highly recommend Sara!

Sara was exactly what Charlie needed while I was away on vacation. She made sure he was taken care of and gave me piece of mind readjusting my pet camera whenever Charlie would knock it down! I'll definitely ask Sara to look after Charlie again.

Schedule

Since I don’t work in the summer, my schedule is highly flexible and adaptable to you and your pet’s needs. I understand that each pet has their unique personality and care needs, which is why I prioritize individualized attention and care for every pet in my care. Whether it's taking dogs on long walks, engaging in playtime with cats, or maintaining a consistent feeding schedule, I am dedicated to ensuring their happiness and well-being!

Safety, trust & environment

When you entrust your fur-babies to me, you can rest assured that they will receive the utmost attention and love. In my home, animals are always welcome to hang out with me on the couch and sleep in my bed! While your pet is in my care they'll have supervision around the clock and you'll always be able to reach me. I will keep you updated with regular reports, photos, and videos of our days together. Communication is key, and I am always available to address any concerns or answer any questions you may have.

Pets

A typical day

On nice days, I enjoy being outside with my animals in my fenced-in yard, or going for walks in the park that is within walking distance of my house. If your dog is a water-lover, I live within walking distance of the Seneca River, so on hot days I can take them for a swim!
