Experienced dog owner of 21+ years.

Pet care experience

I have grown up with two Labrador Retrievers, with experience in dog walking, overnight visits, feeding/providing clean water, and medicine administration. 21 years of experience! I'm currently working part-time, so I am available for dog walking, pet sitting, and day/night visits! Please give me a call if you are interested! I visit my clients homes and ensure that their fur babies get the care that they need. Daytime/nightime walks, supervision in their yard, and housesitting!

Sara was an amazing pet sitter in our home for Stormy! Stormy is on several medications for diabetes, high blood pressure and several others, and Sara handled this with a calm, cool and capable demeanor. Best of all, Stormy really bonded with her and enjoyed having Sara around- following her everywhere, which is a sure sign of our puppy’s love. The countless texts and photos Sara sent were so reassuring and helpful in keeping any worries or anxieties we may have had about leaving Stormy at bay. Sara also went above and beyond - taking out our trash and recycling (which we didn’t even ask her to do!) as well as cleaning up, cleaning the bathroom and vacuuming before we came home! It was an all around great experience for us and if we ever take another long trip, we wouldn’t hesitate to book Sara again! Top notch, above and beyond - we highly recommend her. We are so very thankful for her help!

Sara took wonderful care of our little Java at our home while we were away for a week. We got lots of texts and pictures throughout her stay and could see Java becoming more and more comfortable with her. Although we missed him a lot, having her there meant we could truly relax and enjoy our vacation. She also took extra care to water our gardens and left the house clean and laundry done so everything was shipshape when we got back home. We will definitely be booking Sara again next time we need a sitter.

Sara took care of our toy poodle Java for one overnight in our home in order for them to get to know each other. Java can be nervous with new people and this was the first time he had spent a night at home without my husband and me. Sara knew just what to do to gradually make him comfortable and to get him to trust her, even though he was clearly missing us. She sent lots of pictures and we could literally see the transition from trepidation to relaxation, just as we had hoped! She really did an excellent job and we plan to book her again soon when we travel for a longer period. She also watered my plants as requested.
