Pet care experience

Hello! I started pet sitting on and off as a teen, and have been working professionally with cats and dogs since 2015! I've spent a lot of time with all sorts of animals, on my Grandma's farm. As a child, I would pretend like I could speak to the animals, and that they could understand me. That is where I learned how to care of animals, and learned that different animals need different attention. Cats and Dogs are just like that. Every cat and every dog has their own personality, and each animal has different needs. 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 also provide full house sitting needs. Mail, packages, trash, plant care, etc. I’m here for your away from home needs!

Sara was so fantastic with our pets, it was clear that she showered them with love the whole time she was with them. Her communication was clear and frequent, and she sent loads of gorgeous photos that she took of our fur babies!

Sara was a dream to have pet and house sit for us. She is a calm, confident presence and I loved her consistent updates. I felt so confident the whole time I was away, and I will absolutely be reaching out to her for future pet-sitting needs!

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.

I’m an 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.
