Availability

I’m a performance artist, currently— so my schedule is always changing, but very flexible. I love to enjoy life and get out in the summer, especially— but I’m a home body at heart— and never wanna leave the house once it’s cold lol. I’m typically not gone more than 4-6 hours at a time. Either doing creative stuff or working side gigs. I’m a very strong communicator and would love to sort something out that can work for everyone! The best part are working for myself is making my own schedule and being able to have flexibility for my clients.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in a pet friendly, small one bedroom! I am close to lots of parks and safe walking areas! Definitely a great pet friendly area.

Information Sara H. would like to know about your pet

For me, I think triggers and commands. Whether it’s squirrels, other dogs, kids— knowing what sets your dog off will help me ensure a smooth pet visit. Commands too. Everyone has a unique language with their dogs! What’s yalls?

A typical day

This totally depends on you and your dogs needs! I’m very open to what your dog is used. I think it’s important to keep them on their routine, while their parents are away. Especially since a lot of my clients pets experience anxiety without their owners.

Creative soul, Animal enthusiast

Pet care experience

Meet and greets are always free! Hello! I started pet sitting on and off as a teen, and have been working professionally with cats and dogs since 2015! I’ve always been a huge animal lover. As a child, I would pretend like I could speak to animals, and that they could understand me. I would always jump at an opportunity to pet sit as a teen, and that’s when I learned that all pets have different needs. Cats and Dogs, and every pet in between. Every cat and every dog has their own personality. I understand that no two animals are the same. I'm skilled at adjusting how I take care of different pets, depending on their health and personality. I am very organized, detail oriented, and super good at tricking animals to take their meds. I also have experience in taking care of farm animals (ducks, chickens, turkeys), and plants— if you have a small homestead! Let me know! I provide full house sitting needs. Mail, packages, trash, plant care, etc. I’m here for your away from home needs!

Great communication, cats were always happy in the many photos, and our house was cleaner than we left it! Will certainly be repeat customers.

I’m a helicopter pet parent and Sara made me feel so comfortable leaving my cats in her hands. From the second she came and met them, I could tell she has a special animal connection and is a responsible and kind person! Looking forward to booking again with Sara.
