I WFH and love hanging w animals!
Pet care experience
I have taken care of every kind of animal: turtles, cats, dogs, bunnies, geckos, and more! I am comfortable with everything but snakes, and I can easily match their energy. I am great with puppy training, positive reinforcement, and respecting their boundaries and needs.
Reviews
I have known Sara for many years during which time I have known her to be a caring and reliable pet sitter. Sara especially loves dogs and does a fantastic job. I would let her pet sit my dog if she hadn’t moved out of town. Jane d.
About Sara I.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In their home, I prioritize meeting their needs and respecting their boundaries. If they are shy or skittish, I will make sure to not get too close to them or move too quickly; if they're energetic and outgoing, I love playing with them and keeping them occupied so they're happy and well-behaved. For dog walks, I prefer to bring enough treats to give positive reinforcement and create a strong foundation for them to trust and feel comfortable with me. With cats, I usually set up and sit somewhere to let them get used to me and my smell so they can acclimate to me at their pace as well.
Information Sara I. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if they have any allergies, routines, or fears that I should know about before walking into the situation. If they are or aren't allowed to go to a nearby dog park is also good info I'd love to have!
A typical day
I love taking them to parks, playing fetch, or setting up enrichment toys for them. For older dogs, in nice weather, I like taking them to a park and sitting on a blanket with them and a toy so they still get the interaction but it's easier on their bodies. I love practicing tricks with them or teaching them something if it is a regular visit!

I work from home full-time and live full-time in Detroit, so it is super easy for me to come to check in on your pets anytime. I can take them for a quick walk or spend a couple of hours keeping them company while I work. My work is calm and consistent that I can easily add things to my schedule to accommodate your pet's needs.
