Attentive & Reliable Dog & Cat Care

I provide attentive, reliable in-home care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible, with plenty of quality time, play, and calm companionship. Clients appreciate how thoughtful and attentive I am during visits, especially when it comes to making sure their pets feel comfortable, cared for, and at ease. I’m based in the Marina and primarily serve nearby neighborhoods within walking distance. I specialize in consistent, weekday daytime drop-in visits, with a focus on midday care for dogs who need a potty break, playtime, or a short walk while their owners are at work. I’m a great fit for pets who do best with consistency, patience, and a calm environment. I’m especially comfortable with cats and senior pets. I carefully follow detailed care instructions, including feeding schedules, litter care, medications, and household routines. Friends and family trust me with shy, routine-oriented, or older pets because I’m patient, reliable, and detail-oriented. I take the time to build trust with each pet and provide regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. For new clients, I typically schedule a quick meet & greet in advance to ensure a good fit.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m very respectful of your home and follow all instructions carefully to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort. I keep doors secure, double-check locks, and pay close attention to routines, medications, and any special care needs. I take a calm, low-stress approach and adjust to each pet’s personality—whether that means active play or quiet companionship. My goal is to create a safe, predictable environment so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away.

I couldn’t ask for a more caring, responsible person to care for our three cats while we were away. She provided for their diverse feeding requirements, got to be friends and played with them every visit, reported on what she and the cats did, and sent us photos after each visit. An outstanding person. You can unreservedly trust your cats with her.

Sara is so respectful of my space when I travel and she takes great care of my cat. He's old and cranky but she formed a bond with him that he had no complaints when I came home. I'd request her again!

We cannot recommend Sara enough! Our cats are super shy, but they warmed up to her incredibly fast, which speaks volumes about her gentle and professional approach. We deeply appreciated her thorough communication, level of detail, and all the wonderful photos she shared while we were away. Having that peace of mind allowed us to completely enjoy our vacation. Sara is a true professional, and we will absolutely be booking her again!

Sara was a wonderful weekend sitter for my kitty Lyla. Lyla can be shy but immediately came out to greet Sara, who sent me pictures and gave Lyla lots of cuddles. Sara was communicative and punctual and very easy to coordinate with. She loves kitties and I was so glad to have her care for Lyla!

Sarah has been such a wonderful dog caretaker for my pup! She is incredibly attentive and always makes sure to spend quality time playing and giving lots of belly rubs, which my dog absolutely loves. I really appreciate how efficient and thoughtful she is during her drop-in visits, especially when it comes to taking my senior dog out for a potty break. Sarah is genuinely kind and caring, and it shows in how excited my dog gets to see her each week. It gives me peace of mind, knowing my pup is in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog walker.
