Highlights
Pet care experience
Care for pets like they’re my own!
Hi families! My name is Sara and I would love to spend time with your pets. I am a frequent sitter for a family of 3 large dogs, and 1 cat. I am always on top of giving each pet love, care, and fun! My background in childcare has given me a patient, attentive, and nurturing approach. I love to send owners update photos to make their time away stress-free and I know I would appreciate it as a cat owner myself! In college I was a foster for many litters of cats for a student-run non-profit veterinary cat rescue program at my university. Eventually I fell in love with one of the kitties and adopted her! This has given me experience in caring for cats with medical issues.

Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize safety first by asking owners if their pets have any medical issues, follow pet parents’ feeding routines, and keep their space as hazard-free as possible. I build trust with animals by letting them approach me first to establish comfort and respect their space. I use positive reinforcement with praises, treats and play! Sending update photos to owners throughout their time away is something I love to do. I will keep pet owners homes clean and as I found it.
Ratings and reviews
Sara was so wonderful! Sweet with Kodiak, way to communicate with and reliable!
We’ve had several cat sitters over the years, but Sara has truly set a new gold standard. From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, communicative, and clearly a true animal lover. But what really stood out was how comfortable and at ease our cats were with her — something that has never happened so quickly with anyone else. Every day, we received thoughtful updates and a ton of adorable photos that genuinely brightened our day and gave us peace of mind. It was so obvious from the pictures that our cats weren’t just being “watched” — they were cared for, played with, and loved. When we got home, the house was in beautiful shape, and our cats were relaxed and happy, not stressed or clingy like they’ve sometimes been after we’ve been away. It honestly felt like they had been on vacation too! Sara is the kind of sitter every pet owner hopes to find — trustworthy, attentive, and clearly devoted to the animals she cares for. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again.
Sara was great! She was very responsive and communicative and our cats seemed really happy and taken care of. Would recommend.
Sara’s a lovely pet sitter and just an overall kind human! She’s pet sat for my three big dogs (Anatolian Shepard, boxer & doberman) and although she’s small she had no trouble handling them. We’ve invited her back 3 times and never had any issues. She communicates really well and sent photos when we were gone for multiple days. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing a cat or dog sitter.
Sara is the best pet sitter!! She always enjoys taking dogs on walks and loves to play with them outside. She always feeds them on time and will make them happy with treats!
Sara is great with cats and dogs she is so nurturing and makes sure they have enough food and water at all times. I always trust her with my pets.
