Professional Experienced Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I've had my own pets (cats and dogs) my whole life. I have experience working for a professional pet agency in the area also for the past 3 years and making a change to be able to control my schedule a little better! I have taken care of countless cats of dogs for daily visits and occasionally, overnights. I am also called upon from family and friends for drop in visits for their pets while they're away. I have medication administration experience as well!

Sara is great!! We feel so much better leaving Pittsburgh knowing Sara is coming to check on the cats. They can be shy but they warmed up to Sara right away! She doesn’t just check on them and then leave, she always plays with them and spends time with them. We love her, she’s awesome!

Sara is the most wonderful and caring person! I feel so good when we go out of town knowing she will be taking care of our pets. She sends the cutest photos along with detailed updates and was incredibly thoughtful when one of our cats passed.

Thank you so much! We felt so comfortable being away for our wedding knowing that the cats were well-taken care of. We’ve used Sara twice now and plan to again in the future!

Sara is a Kitty Whisperer!!! Our guy is very apprehensive about new people, and when we asked pretty much last minute, Sara was able to come over for orientation before our weekend trip. Our kitty hid while we were reviewing things. But Sara knew to sit on the floor, walk without shoes, and by the time she came back, it was like they were BFFs. Definitely if you need a professional reliable cat sitter who can play with the scaredy-est of cats, ask Sara!!!

I do work a remote full time job in the nonprofit world, but have a very flexible schedule (most days) to pop in for your pet plus weekends and weeknights after 4pm totally free! I typically stick with cat drop in visits during the week that don't require a set time, but can always provide a time range when I know the dates if wanted!
