Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Traveling PetSitter
I have been caring for animals for 30 years, starting with my own cats. Most recently I have been petsitting through trustedhousesitters, and I have completed 23 sits in seven different countries over six years. I have cared for dogs ranging from Chihuahua to Pit Bull Terrier, cats from Sphynx to Maine Coon. I petsat a blind and deaf puggle, foster cats that needed medication and strict dietary needs, and many more. I have petsat five dogs on a ranch in Montana for ten weeks during the winter, took care of eight dogs and cats plus street dogs and cats in Cozumel, Mexico, and four show English Cocker Spaniels in Iceland. From my extensive experience I am confident in my ability to care for any and all breeds of cats and dogs. I also love their companionship, cuddles, and purrs!

Ratings and reviews
Sara was an amazing sitter for our senior dog Wiley over a week-long stay! She was very patient and understanding with Wiley's vision loss, gave her her daily eyedrops, and sent us updates and photos throughout the sit. She also left our apartment super clean and tidy, which was much appreciated when returning home after a long day of travel!! Thank you so much Sara!
Sara was great and saved us last minute. My house was as we left it. Willow seemed happy and not stressed at all when we returned. Will use Sara again and highly recommend her.
Sara is a kind, loving soul who will brighten your home simply by walking through the front door. She certainly did mine! In addition to her fantastic stories and sage-like wisdom, she made sure my family's three dogs and two cats were taken care of for the week we were gone. Excellent communicator, clean and responsible. Definitely seasoned. Thanks Sara!

Schedule
Taking care of pets while I am home in Alabama or while I am traveling is the perfect fit for my seasonal lifestyle. I work temporary events all over the country and in between jobs I travel internationally and hike long trails. I love to visit and explore new places and having a ‘homebase’ and a built in friend (your precious pet) is the best way to have those new experiences. I find that with my solitary wandering lifestyle I miss the companionship of a pet so there are times when I need the affection of animals and receive their unconditional love as well!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My intention is to care for pets just as the family does. After going over all the details with the clients about feeding times, walks, litterbox cleaning, etc. I follow their routines in order to stay consistent for the pet and reduce their potential anxiety due to the family's absence.
A typical day
We will go on walks, potentially runs if your pet is up for it. I love throwing balls for dogs to retrieve in our big yard.
