Reliable pet lover

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family for over 15 years. I've also been the proud owner of two cats. It started when I would drop in for my neighbors to care for their two cats, and I was responsible for feeding, cleaning the litter box, and playing with the cats once a day for a week at a time. This has grown into caring for many more neighbors and friend's pets, and I look forward to caring for my Chicago neighbor's pets!

Sara was great! She stayed at our place and watched Floyd over a long weekend. Sara took great care of Floyd—walking him several times a day, giving him his meds twice a day, and feeding him his special food. She is good with senior, high energy dogs! Sara also brought in our mail and kept our condo tidy and clean. We highly recommend Sara and would trust her again to watch our dog for extended time! Thank you!

Sara is very trustworthy, responsible, and great with cats! She has been my roommate for years and always is willing to help out with my cats when I need an extra hand or am out of town. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!
