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.

Information Sara K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about feeding schedules, medications, behavioral quirks, anxiety triggers, reactivity, and any medical conditions. I also appreciate details about house rules, emergency contacts, and how long your pet is typically comfortable being alone.

A typical day

A typical visit includes a potty break or walk, fresh food and water, and time for play, attention, or calm companionship based on your pet’s personality. I tailor each visit to your pet’s needs—some pets want lots of interaction, while others prefer a quieter, routine-focused visit. I always make sure they’re comfortable, settled, and well cared for before I leave.

Attentive & Reliable Dog & Cat Care

Pet care experience

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.

Sara was amazing! So professional! She took great care of our kitties, knowing they were in good hands allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation.

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.

Sara was very responsive, showed up on time and sent several photos of Charlie! The house was exactly how we left it as well which is always appreciated. Would use Sara again!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about the care my cats, Walter & Betty, received while I was away for a week. From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing they were with Sara. Not only were they well fed and their routines carefully followed, but they were also truly cared for — with plenty of snuggles and attention. It was so comforting to get updates and know they were happy and relaxed. When I returned home, the litter boxes were spotless, everything was tidy, and most importantly, my cats were calm and content. It was clear they had been genuinely looked after, not just “checked in on.” I’m so grateful for the thoughtful, attentive care and would absolutely trust Sara again without hesitation.
