Safety, trust & environment

I have had a Newfoundland growing up and now a Golden Retriever! We go on walks every morning (especially since it has been too hot in the afternoon/evening) we love cuddle time! I make sure to treat every animal I watch/sit as my own when I am with them and make sure they have the best time while their favorite people are away!

Information Sara J. would like to know about your pet

If they need any medication, special care, feeding times, regular schedule if they have one, and if they aren’t allowed/don’t like other dogs or people!

A typical day

I love to go on walks, runs, play fetch or with any of their fun toys! I walk lunken loop sometimes, or the 5 mile trail as well!

Sara House Sat while my husband and I were out of town for the weekend and I would happily reach out to her again in the future! She took excellent care of our dog Lily and our cat Sam. She provided plenty of updates with pictures and left our home in great condition. Sara is reliable, trustworthy, and provides the best love/care for animals. Thank you!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

We usually use a family member to take care of our cats. Due to a scheduling conflict we needed outside help. Sara did a great job! She was great at sending several photos of my happy cats. Sara was even able to see and get a photo of my super scared cat (Odie) that no ever sees, that just doesn't happen. We asked Sara to stay for an hour to love on them so they would not feel so abandoned. She did just that and we have pictures showing how our needy/affectionate cat (Loki) just crawled all over her. The area around the food and water bowl was left clean and tidy. The liter box was cleaned regularly. Thank you for attention to detail. If they could talk I am sure they would ask for Sara again by name.
