Let Me Love Your Babies Like My Own
Pet care experience
***Currently NOT taking new Rover clients. Look for "4 Love of Pets, by Sara" privately if you'd like to be considered as a new client.** INSURED & BONDED THROUGH PET SITTER ASSOCIATES: Policy # 3ED4166 PRICING UPDATE AS OF MAY 1ST All prices are based on time so a 30 minute visit is the same regardless of type of animal or service. New pricing only applies to new bookings. I also do have a private pet business so availability mat not be accurate. You can find 4 Love of Pets, by Sara on Google, Facebook & Instagram if you want to see more! 💜🐾 I have had dogs all of my life and I currently volunteer at the Placer Animal Services Center because I love animals so much! Currently I have two chihuahua mixes and a special needs pit mix (megaesophagus) so I am comfortable with all types of dogs. I have done basic training (sit, down, come, stay, wait, etc) and I am comfortable giving injection and liquid to any animal, and pilling most! I care deeply about all animals & my clients often end up feeling like nieces or nephews to me and for that reason I will do anything & everything within my power to make sure they are comfortable & safe. This includes sticking to their routine as much as possible. Whether that's special/certain eating habits, playtime, treat time, medication, whatever needs to be done. And while you're away from home, keeping your home safe & secure so that you can enjoy your trip, including bringing in the mail, taking garbage cans out, bringing in deliveries, watering plants, or anything else that will bring you peace of mind. I have even recording locking up the house for clients before. I don't mind if it makes you feel more comfortable. At this point I can only offer drop-ins & walks. I am willing to do 15 minute visits for $15 within 5 miles of my home. I generally work within 15 miles of my home (95621) but will go further for a travel fee. Generally walks or drop-ins come in 30 or 60 minute increments but I am flexible & can do a few hours at a time if necessary for doctor's visits or anything else really. I cannot, however, do overnights because of my own dogs. I hope to one day be able to offer daycare & boarding. Until then, I am happy to help with the drop in services that I can provide & I am honored that you've considered me to watch over your babies! I am a service provider at heart. I am a makeup artist and a pet care provider. So my day is taking care of beings, and I am absolutely blessed to do what I love! Care of your home & your babies is my main priority! I will always use whatever leash/collar/harness you have for your pet but if I worry, at all, about their safety, I do have a slip lead that I will use as well. Treats will always be on hand but only used with your permission. I will double check crates, gates, & doors before leaving & I strive to always make sure lights are turned off & that you come home to a house that doesn't look like anyone's been in it. BY BOOKING WITH ME YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING: 1. Any pictures I take are mine to use on my social media pages or in advertising, unless you explicitly request otherwise. 2. If a key exchange is required I charge $5 for pick up & $5 to return. To avoid these fees you can get a lockbox or pick up & drop off to me at my home near Rusch Park. 3. Times are not guaranteed unless your animal has medication that is time sensitive. There will be a 3 hour block in which your visit will occur - one hour before & after the time you choose. For instance, if you choose 8am I may show up any time between 7am & 9am. Pet care is my main job so if you're on my schedule, you are my only focus for that time frame! I am chronically ill so I am grateful to have a job that I can do in pieces & parts because I can do anything for an hour at a time! Making sure you are able to relax & enjoy your time away is my secondary objective, only behind making sure your baby is cared for!
Reviews
I am eternally grateful for connecting with Sara’s pet sitting services.
Sara makes me feel comfortable and at ease while away on vacation. She’s very responsible, communicative and prompt. She even went above and beyond and put our trash cans out for us while we were away so that we did not miss trash day (something I had not even thought about). Your pet is in good hands with Sara! Thanks so much Sara for letting our family enjoy vacation. :)
Sara is awesome. She goes takes extra steps to ensure the security and function of our home, while providing excellent care and affection for our pets. It’s obvious that she truly loves animals. She’s a sure bet.
Sara is so great!!!! I have an anxious dog and he remembered her from 7 months ago and was comfortable quickly. She really cares for all her animals and it shows. She was also quick to offer help when I left a few things unfinished around the house. She communicates quickly and always takes lots of pictures to ease my mind. 100% would recommend.

I do not care for pets in my home at this time. I am available for pet taxi, though, if your baby needs a groom or has a vet visit that you can't take off work for!
Information Sara N. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are any health conditions or medications that need to be handled while you're away. For elderly or special needs animals, any quirks about their care that you feel are pertinent are welcome! I will generally take some notes during our meet & greet but the more I know, the better care I can offer!
A typical day
I love to stimulate both mental & physical whenever possible. A tired pet gets in less trouble! This includes walks when possible, playing with toys (I can bring tennis balls & I always carry a red bug [laser] on me!), working on training & following commands, and even cuddles/pets. I am currently looking in to training courses as well so I am happy to work with your dog on anything you'd like worked on for just my sitting rates. Eventually, training will be something I can officially offer!

Availability
Pet sitting is my full time job. I do work roughly 20 hours a month for an accounting agency but I work from home so it doesn't affect my availability.
