Highlights
Pet care experience
*Experienced Vet Tech*
Hi there! I’m a Veterinary Technician with 12 years of experience in small animal medicine. I’m CPR-trained and fully comfortable caring for pets with special needs- whether age related, post surgical or in need of medication administration—oral, injectable, or topical. Whether your pet needs a little extra medical attention or just lots of love and care while you’re away, you can trust that they’re in experienced and compassionate hands. I treat every pet like my own and strive to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free in your absence. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Sara exceeded all expectations. She took such great care of my cats and my house while I was away. She was very communicative and sent lots of updates and cute pics. She will definitely be my first choice for the future!
Sara was great with the kitties. She managed Scarlet’s medicine schedule as well as ensured that they got some play time and attention each day. She was very communicative and send a few great pictures of the kitties while we were away so we could keep up with how they were doing. A++
Sara is my ultimate go-to person for dog care. This is her second time dog/house-sitting for me. Her love for animals is so apparent.. She has cared for my dog, Eli, with so much patience and love. Eli is a very nervous Formosan Mountain Dog who is extremely skittish and who sometimes struggles around other dogs. Eli LOVES Sara! Sara is very thorough with care instructions (feeding, potty, and administering medication) and took great care of my apartment. She is considerate and communicative-- she made sure to send me daily updates while I was away for three days which put me at ease. TY Sara! You're the best!
Sara is always attentive and caring with our pups, especially our oldest with several health issues. Our pups love hanging out with her!
SARA IS SUCH A PRO! I was really nervous for my dog Eli first pet/house-sitting especially since he has anxiety. I could tell that she is very experienced, she provided pictures and updates. I would book her again, I would recommend her to any dog owner!
Sara is one of the best dog sitters I've ever had. My senior dog, Hachi, has pancreatitis and had a flare up shortly after I left for a trip. This is a nightmare scenario. Sara handled it better than I could have imagined. She coordinated with the vet, picked up medication, gave Hachi pills, and successfully managed the flare-up. When Hachi got itchy and seemed uncomfortable, Sara gave her a bath. Sara is now one of the few people I trust to watch Hachi.

Schedule
I currently work as a relief veterinary nurse, which gives me full control over my schedule. When I’m caring for your pet, I don’t book any shifts—so you can feel confident they won’t be left alone.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to minimize stress and keep them comfortable. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and enrichment tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. I also keep a close eye on their health and behavior—thanks to my medical background, I can quickly spot any signs of concern. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time, I aim to make your pet feel safe, happy, and well-cared-for in their own familiar space.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with your pet includes a mix of care, play, and comfort tailored to their energy level and routine. For dogs, that might mean a morning walk, some backyard fetch or enrichment games, and a cozy cuddle session. For cats, I love interactive play with toys, brushing (if they enjoy it), and giving them plenty of affection and space when needed. I also make sure their feeding schedule, medication, and any special care instructions are followed exactly. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more relaxed and low-key, I adjust our time together to make sure they’re happy, stimulated, and well-loved throughout the day.
