Safety, trust & environment

Your home will be treated as my own while you’re gone. Eating and bathroom areas should be cleaned daily. I also don’t mind grabbing packages in main to bring inside and making sure your home is safe.

Information Sara K. would like to know about your pet

I appreciate knowing any and all quirks. If Roxy freaks at knocks on the doors or Binx loves to hide under the chair in the bedroom, etc. I want to maintain their habits and schedule with the least disruption as possible!

A typical day

Absolutely tell me your pets favorite toy or activity so that I can distract them and give them plenty of attention while their parents are vacationing!

Pet care experience

I will happily check in on your easy maintenance pups, but I have had cats my whole life. In my adult life, I have had opportunities to volunteer at vet offices and local cat cafes. These experiences have given me a better understanding of attitudes and temperaments, even scardy cats, eating and bathroom habits and emergency situations.

Sara was a great sitter! We felt like our kitties were in very good hands. Loved the updates and pictures of cuddles!

Sara was great and clearly very experienced with cats. I can tell Babette loved hanging out with her! Babette is very high energy and Sara played with her a lot and gave great updates/photos. I also appreciate how flexible and responsive she was with scheduling. My flight got delayed a few times and Sara adjusted the schedule for us accordingly.

Sara was awesome! She was able to accept a short notice sitting and connected with Silver (my cat) immediately. We appreciated her communication and photos each time and even let us know when she was running late or needed to shift a visit time. I'm sure Silver would absolutely love to have you watch him again!
