Safety, trust & environment

I will be caring for your pet in their own environment so they feel secure and relaxed and can keep calm while you're away. I will also follow your established routine for your pet such as feeding, walking, playtime, as well as light grooming and medicine administering if needed. If house sitting, I am willing and able to do things like watering plants, collecting mail, and other light household duties to keep you and your pet's home running as smooth as possible. This goes without saying but cleanliness and orderliness are a priority and I will leave your home as clean as I found it after each visit/homestay. I will happily provide detailed and frequent updates on your pets with photos and videos so you feel peace of mind while you are away. Open and clear communication is key to yours and your pets' well-being :) Not all pets are created equal and I am committed to providing personalized, attentive, and professional care ensures your sweet babies are happy, healthy, and well-cared under my watch.

Information Sara K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet had any special needs, is elderly, is scared or skittish, or anything else that might help me ahead of time about your pet.

A typical day

I tailor each experience to the animals I take fare of. More of a lazy dog or cat? I’m fine with sitting next to them, talking calmly and sweetly and providing lots of love while they lounge. More playful? I’ll meet them at their energy level with play, toys, treats, walks, and lots of energetic chit chat!

Pet-loving opera singer 🎶

Pet care experience

I grew up loving and living with animals my entire life! There hasn't been a time where I haven't lived with an animal of some sort. Dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and even fish! Dogs, fish, and various sweet rodents have been my life until I was 24, then I met the two feline loves of my life-Carl and Dixon! All of my friends have either a cat or a dog (and often, multiples of each!) so I am consistently surrounded by fellow animal lovers and caregivers who have taught me everything I know. I have cared for and looked after friend's and family's dogs and cats from as young 6 weeks all the way up to 19 years old! I'm experienced with senior cats and dogs especially.

Highly, highly recommend Sara to look after your pet(s) while you are away. Sara is sweet as can be, tended to details, kept me posted, and sent pics at each visit. It was these thoughtful details that made me feel at ease being away from my precious four-legged family member.

Sara has gone above and beyond taking care of our cats. She is not only incredibly friendly, but her communication is concise, and we trust her completely. We felt totally at peace while on our trip and loved the updates every day. We will 100% be booking Sara again to watch our cats, we cannot thank her enough!
