Full time sitter who loves animals!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of animals of all ages, sizes and breeds! I am a huge dog lover with a huge heart for every animal! I have experience in leash training, potty training and kennel training, as well as basic commands (I.E sit, stay, speak, lay down, roll over etc). I have always had a passion for animals and will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I am currently available 24/7! I am a full time sitter and I am always home, so your pets will never be alone or in a kennel. I have an open schedule on the weekdays, weekends and I am even available on holidays! I do not currently work which gives me all of the time in the world to play, love on, and cuddle your fur babies! I am flexible on dates, long term and short term, as well as last minute care needed! I have a spacious 3 bedroom townhome with plenty of grassy areas, one dog park in the vicinity, and a short commute to larger parks and dog parks! My significant other has just as much love to give as I do, so your animal will always get enough love & attention! We have two children in the house so please consider that before booking with me!

Sara was amazing with our fur babies. It was the first time we left them with anyone other than family. She took care of them very well and they seemed happy when we picked them up. We’re so grateful to have found her. We definitely want to have her watch them again.

Sara and Daniel (bengal cat) where a match made in heaven! Sara exceeded my expectations and made Daniel feel at home. Thank you so much for taking care of the feline!!
