Pet care experience
My name is Sara and I have been caring for dogs actively for about 14 years, but have been loving them for 29. I graduated from Chico State with a healthcare administration degree back in 2016, but work selling security software. Working from home allows me the privilege of being a full-time companion to your cherished pup! They'll have the comfort of a familiar environment and a loving human presence throughout the day. Being punctual and reliable is second nature to me. You can count on me to adhere to schedules and ensure your pup's routine is maintained seamlessly. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to entrust your dog to someone new. That's why I'm committed to open communication, providing regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands. In my home, your fur baby will find companionship in my own adorable Sheepadoodle, June. She's not just a pet, but a treasured member of our family. We understand the importance of finding trustworthy hands for our furry family members, and rest assured, your dog will be treated with the same love and care as June. We share our space with two feline friends, Martini and Malone. They're seasoned experts in coexisting with dogs, ensuring a harmonious environment for all our four-legged guests. For cat owners: As a self-appointed cat lady, my passion for these graceful creatures knows no bounds. With two of my own, and dreams of having a whole pride (if my husband would allow it!), you can trust that your cats will be in the hands of someone who adores them as much as you do. While I currently have two cherished cats, I've had the pleasure of fostering numerous kittens through CFFR. Fostering cats has not only expanded my knowledge but also my love for cats. I understand the unique needs and temperaments that cats can have, and I'm committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for every feline friend that enters my care. No matter your cat's quirks, I'm equipped to provide them with the attention and care they need. Administering medicine to our feline friends can be a daunting task, but it's one I'm more than comfortable with. I have experience in ensuring your cat receives their medication in a stress-free and gentle manner. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Feel free to reach out, and let's arrange a meet-and-greet to see if we're the perfect match for your beloved pets!
Reviews
Sara was amazing and took great care of our dog (and was especially tolerant of his antics). So many walks and park visits and lots of updates and pictures! I am so grateful!
My cat, Frank, had emergency surgery and needed to be checked on during the day. I had a hectic couple days at work and couldn’t stay home with him. I asked Sara last minute if she could check in on Frank and she very quickly accepted. She took excellent care of him! He was wearing an ecollar and on sedatives, so I felt very reassured that he was doing well and able to eat/drink while I was away.
Sara is an excellent sitter. She has watched our two cats multiple times and truly seems to care for them like they are her own. We appreciate her communication, video updates & consistency!!
Sara is incredible! 5 stars !!! I didn’t worry once about my kitty and knew he was in good hands with all the photos + videos she sent! Sara took care of everything going above and beyond! Will definitely be rebooking and highly recommend!!

This ensures I can provide the best possible care and address any special needs they may have. Behavioral Quirks: Knowing about your dog's behavior around other dogs, children, or any specific triggers helps me create a comfortable and safe environment for them. Dietary Preferences and Restrictions: Any special dietary instructions, allergies, or preferred treats are important to note to ensure your pet's nutritional needs are met. Exercise and Activity Levels: Understanding your dog's activity level helps me plan appropriate playtime and exercise routines to keep them happy and healthy.

A typical day
Every dog under my care is treated to a tailored experience filled with activities that cater to their unique preferences and energy levels. From lively play sessions to leisurely strolls, I ensure they receive the attention and engagement they need to thrive. I love taking dogs on exciting adventures to local parks and nature trails. These outings provide not only physical exercise but also opportunities for them to explore new scents, sights, and sounds. All hikes and extra activities will be approved by owners. For those pups who prefer a bit more relaxation, we'll have plenty of cuddle time and be given plenty of love! I have a few favorite spots that are perfect for dog walks. I enjoy walking Sloans Lake and Berkely Park as well as local hikes. These locations provide a safe and enriching environment for our walks, ensuring your pup gets the most out of their outdoor time. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a balanced mix of exercise, mental stimulation, and relaxation, tailored to your dog's unique needs and preferences. Your furry friend will return home happy, content, and ready for a good snooze!

Ultimately, pet care is not just a task, but a genuine passion of mine. Your pet will not only receive essential care but also the love and attention they deserve, making them feel right at home.
