About Sara M.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for your pets in their own space, my top priority is to create a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe and loved. I follow your specific instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine and preferences, whether that means feeding on schedule, administering medication, or giving them the right amount of play and rest.
Information Sara M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your pet's feeding schedule, any medications or health needs, and their general temperament (shy, social, energetic, etc.). It’s also helpful to know their favorite toys, hiding spots, and any behaviors or sensitivities I should be aware of so I can provide the best care possible.
A typical day
I follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free. I provide food, water, and clean their space, then spend time playing and engaging them. Cats get interactive toys and gentle attention, while dogs enjoy walks, fetch, or games suited to their energy. I also send updates with photos so you can feel connected while you’re away.

Reviews
Sara was absolutely incredible while checking in on Marty while I was away. She was punctual and a fantastic communicator, keeping me updated the entire time so I never had to wonder how things were going. Most importantly, I could tell from the photos she sent that Marty felt completely comfortable around her right away, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I cannot recommend Sara enough and will definitely be booking her again in the future!
Sara was wonderful in taking care of our two cats while we were away! She was an excellent communicator and gave us great updates, and took very cute pictures. We (and our cats) would highly recommend her!
Sara has been great with my cats! She has been taking care of them for 10days while I was away, and sent great updates and many pictures everyday. Even my Circe, who is super shy, decided that Sara was cool enough for her to get out of her hiding spot!
Our two cats immediately took to Sara including our scaredy-cat who normally requires numerous visits before he will allow touch. We returned home to some surprisingly calm cats.
