Safety, trust & environment

I'm eager to to give your pets the care they're used to, following routines they're comfortable with. My goal is to make my visits to your home as smooth and stress-free as possible for everyone. I take pride in taking excellent care of your space and even better care of your loved ones. I'm here to help them and help you, so please share with me how I can best do that!

Information Sara P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has special dietary or medical needs or any quirky behaviors. Do they have any training? Do they like other pets and people? Are there any places or behaviors that are off-limits? Any information you can give about their personality and regular routine goes a long way towards a successful visit!

A typical day

I love walking and hiking in nature and would love to visit your dog's favorite places, or if it's okay with you, explore new places to walk and play. I'm happy to do whatever your pet loves to do, like playing with toys at home, taking a long hike, or visiting the park.

Animals are my kind of people!

Pet care experience

My family always had at least one cat when I was growing up. We've had dogs and cats (plus rats and hamsters), young and old, some with special dietary or medical needs (ie subcutaneous fluids for kidney failure, arthritis). Friends rely on me for house-sitting, knowing their pets will be safe and happy in my care. I have experience socializing and caring for cats and kittens as a volunteer with Love Your Feral Felines rescue organization in California. I've also done equine therapy, and love being around horses! I love to meet new animals and am sensitive to their personalities and behaviors, so we become fast friends!

We are so happy we found Sara for our French bulldog! She takes the BEST care of him. I don’t trust anyone with him because he’s had so many health concerns and Sara has gone above and beyond for him and us! We are so grateful!

Our dogs were immediately comfortable with Sara. She connected with them immediately, and they responded to her energy. She paid attention when I ran through their routine, asked follow-up questions to confirm her understanding and took great care of our two girls. She sent texts through-out the period she was watching them to let us know they were doing well, and having fun, making our away time worry-free. I would definitely book her again!

Sara is an incredibly trustworthy, dependable, and responsible dog walker and house sitter. She is always communicative, caring, and genuinely loves the animals she cares for. She took wonderful care of our two senior dogs, and after one of them passed away, we found comfort knowing that Sara was the last person to be with our beloved Winston. It means so much to us that he spent his final day with someone who loved and cared for him so deeply. Now that we’ve welcomed our new puppy, Oliver, Sara has seamlessly adapted to caring for an energetic puppy while continuing to give our 13-year-old senior dog the patience, attention, and care she needs. We trust Sara completely and recommend her without hesitation. Any pet would be lucky to have her.

Sarah is great! My dog (Ramen) had fun playing with her, and she takes hilarious photos.
