Experienced Pet Caretaker and Lover

Pet care experience

My experience as an animal lover and caretaker started when I was a little girl. I had dogs, cats, horses, bunnies and many other critters when I was younger. I previously worked at a pet store and have over four years of professional experience working with animals of all kinds as well as knowledge when it comes to pet wellness. For over a year, I was the captain of animal care and operations. I currently own two dogs, two cats, a horse and two crested geckos. I have a five year old Golden Retriever as well as a 12 year old mixed breed who love going on hikes and walks with me. I would love to check in on your pet while you're away and make sure that they stay happy and healthy. Our pets are part of our family and I would love to schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet before booking to make sure that you and your pet are comfortable and that all questions can be answered. COVID-19: In order to assure your safety, I am happy to sanitize before each visit and make sure to disinfect all knobs and leashes. I will respect and abide by any safety precautions you would like to put in place. We can even do meet and greets via Zoom if you feel more comfortable. Exotic Pets: I am a lover of all animals, furry, feathered or otherwise. I have three years of experience handling and caring for different types of reptiles, fish, birds and rodents as well as experience looking after exotic pets while their family is away. If you have a small animal that needs to be looked after while you're away, message me and we can discuss pricing. I will be honest about my experience and knowledge and would love to set up a meet and greet with them as well. With your permission, I am happy to spoil your exotic pet(s) with treats as well! :)

Sara did an amazing job caring for our ferrets. She went above and beyond with her visits!! She took pics and videos to send us every day. She was unbelievably helpful and made us feel comfortable and assured our animals and home were taken care of!! I absolutely recommend Sara in taking care of your pets while away!!

We left our 2 Newfie’s and our 6 chickens in Sara’s care for 9 days. We hired her to come to our house twice a day to let our dogs and chickens out/in, feed and water them and spend time with them. Sara went above and beyond all of our expectations. Responsible, reliable, respectful and respectable are what comes to mind with Sara. She was thorough with her daily reports and on time to every visit. We have never felt so at ease leaving our pets and we will 100% be calling her again for our pet sitting needs! Thank you Sara!!

Sara is a most trusted animal caregiver. She is very kind and loving and highly knowledgeable about all animals. She looked after the animals on our farm with meticulous care. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking quality care for their beloved pets.

Sara dog sat for us while we went on a trip for a week. Our pup had a fur condition that required he get bathed every day for 10 days — she helped us with that and even taught him some new tricks like how to shake while we were gone. Our boy was a happy and better behaved pup when we got back! She loves animals and wants to see them thrive, I would recommend Sara to everyone I know!

With your permission, I would happily take your dog to their favorite park or hiking with me. If your pet is looking to make more friends, both of my dogs are extremely laid back and would love to be their friend as well (same goes for cats and any other critters!).

Information Sara H. would like to know about your pet

Before taking care of any animal, it is very important that I know if they have any allergies or health conditions that I should be made aware of. Any preferences, expectations or accommodations will be appreciated and taken seriously. I don't have any breed preferences and will take care of every pet as if they were my own.

A typical day

I love going on walks and hiking with my pets and would love to do the same with yours. I can always stick to the areas that your pet knows best (favorite hiking locations, your neighborhood, favorite park etc.), or I can introduce them to some of my dogs favorite places! Olie loves going to Withrow Nature Preserve and Cottell Park. Mowgli's favorite places are Voice of America park and the Loveland bike trail! There are also beautiful trails next to the barn I keep my horse at that both of my dogs love exploring. I love spoiling the animals I watch as if they were my own! With your permission, your dog or cat can expect lots of pets, treats and toys. I am also more than willing to make supply runs for your animals while you're away.
