Pet care experience
Hello! I’m a dog & cat lover with over 20 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've been surrounded by animals my entire life, but sadly my landlord here doesn’t allow pets! I moved to SF from Philadelphia in summer 2022 for a job that is mostly remote with a flexible schedule, leaving plenty of time for pet care. I live an active lifestyle and frequently go for long walks, hikes and runs. I grew up with many cats and a Golden Retriever/Aussie mix named Riley. Over the years, a long list of clients and friends have entrusted me to care for their homes, pets and children. My aunt has a farm, so I also have experience caring for horses. 🙂 I am responsible, dependable, and would be honored to hang out with your furry family member(s).
Reviews
Sara was an excellent sitter! My cats were clearly happy and well-cared for under her watch. Her communication was great, she sent plenty of pictures and I had peace of mind during my entire trip. I plan to book her again in the future.
Sara is so great with my 2 dogs, I love booking with her
Sara was so great with Chester! You can tell she really is committed to providing the best care when she’s staying with your pet. He is always so happy throughout the visit and she sends lots of great pics & updates.
Sara was great with my cat Chester! She was very attentive, played with him, and made sure he was a happy boy while I was away. I would definitely recommend and use Sara again.
About Sara M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I only accept bookings in the pet’s home, so they’re familiar and comfortable with the environment. Also, my current landlord doesn’t allow pets! I am a clean and tidy person so will leave your home the same way I found it (or cleaner). 🙂
Information Sara M. would like to know about your pet
It would be great to know anything special about the day-to-day routine, bathroom schedule, etc. Also important to know if they do well with other dogs on the street/park, and if the dog is super afraid of anything like thunderstorms.
A typical day
Morning cuddles, a long morning walk before work, and another around lunchtime and after work too. I love exploring new neighborhoods and parks in SF - there are so many beautiful ones and I almost never do the same walk twice. Other after-work options include hitting the dog park (if owner approves) or having a nice brisk jog if the dog is high energy.

Availability
My job is not too demanding, and I only go into the office downtown once per week. It’s quite an ideal/flexible situation that leaves plenty of time for walks, play and pet care.
