Availability

I work full time for the state doing wildlife work. I work from home four days a week and go to Sacramento on Tuesdays. Except Tuesdays that are holidays and Christmas week. Normally, the best days for my availability are Wednesday through the weekend and Monday. However, I can be available on Tuesday evenings as well. My dog Kava would need to come with me, so we’d want to make sure our pets get along! She is sweet tempered and knows the drill while petsitting for others.

Safety, trust & environment

It’s important to me to provide attention, exercise, and to reinforce any training goals you have for your beloved pets. I love to go on walks! My photos are of some of the pets I have had the opportunity to hang out with.

Information Sara M. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know what your pet’s routine is so that they are able to stick with it while you’re away. I would also like to know how your pets behave around other dogs and people, and if they are able to go on walks in frequented places. Additionally, how their recall is. If you’d like pictures and updates I am happy to send those too!

A typical day

Depending on what your pets like to do, I’m for it!! Walking, hiking, playing fetch, and more. If your dog is high-energy, or is older, I am able to tailor our activities that are beneficial for them.

Pet care experience

I have a dog myself, so I always follow the golden rule while I’m pet sitting for others. Helping your pet feel comfortable and loved while you’re away is my biggest priority in pet sitting. I have watched various types of animals for people in Nevada County - dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, house birds, chickens, and ducks. I am comfortable with puppies and kittens to senior pets, as well as with administering medication. I’ve worked at a grooming salon in the past and am experienced working with a variety of breeds, and how to be patient and gentle with potential quirks. I’d be happy to watch and spend quality time with your pet while you’re away, and do anything extra needed such as watering plants, feeding livestock, send photos, etc. I have my sweet, well behaved dog named Kava that would need to come with me. She is great with other pets and they have found her to be good company 🐾

Sara was super easy to work with, communicative, and reliable. We have an elderly dog and a one year old pup. She handled both challenges and we came home to a happy dogs and a clean house. We highly recommend Sara!

Sara is fantastic. She did a fabulous job with our pets who are somewhat needy. I would highly recommend her. She is really responsive and is a great communicator. We will definitely use her again.

Sarah stepped in when I needed her and took great care of my two dogs. She communicated well with pics and updates and looked out for their specific needs. I found her quite capable in managing it all.
