Safety, trust & environment

When I arrive I'll greet your pets gently. For skittish cats I wait for them to approach me. No pressure. I follow a Time and Task schedule provided by the pet parent. I'm intentional about play time and exercise each day. I'm eager to know your pet's personality, tendencies, and any routine actions they need. Before I leave for work, I locate each animal to ensure they are okay and not stuck or in distress.

Information Sara J. would like to know about your pet

Special feeding schedules, medicine to administer, vocabulary necessary for training consistency, quirks about your pet's behavior, and quirks about your home as well. (Sticky front doors, quirky toilets, where essentials are kept for the pets, etc.)

A typical day

I'll most likely play with your pets longer than most people. Animals that have an active lifestyle tend to be happier and have better brain function due to the stimulation. Admittedly, I will talk to your pets during my stay. I'll never say no to a snuggle either!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Sara, I'm your local seamstress part time pet service provider. I am not limited to Cats and Dogs, I also love Rats, Bunnies, and all of the small animals. I was a key holder for the recurring clients I've had for 8 years when I lived in Chicago. I have experience with administering medication as well. Hanging out with animals always brightens my day so you will be assured that I'll give your pets the extra attention they need to be happy and comfortable.

Sara was amazing! We set up a meet and greet so she was able to meet Lela. There was a very comfortable feeling with the interaction with her and my dog. She came into my home and not only took care of Lela but played with her outside. I got updates, because I was the one feeling anxious. I will continue to use Sara for future sittings.

Sara's been taking our two pups on daily walks for us. She's great with the dogs, great about communicating walk times, and flexible when we need to switch things up. I couldn't recommend her more!

Sara is truely an animal lover. My dog buddy always looks forward to seeing her. She is a reliable and trustworthy person. If i asked her to pet sit for me I know she would be there. Dogs have a good sense about people and dogs love Sara.
