Pet care experience

Reliable, affordable, experienced.

I have owned dogs and cats my entire life and have been walking and caring for them professionally since I was 18. I am knowledgeable about various training methods and harness and collar styles. I am comfortable with all breeds, sizes and personalities. I train as I walk and will work on any issues your dog may have. My own dog is 14lbs and loves having doggy friends come and stay. My three cats are very dog savvy and the kitten loves to play with friendly pups. I am an animal empath and will feel how your pet is feeling. I love giving lots of love to my furry clients. I care for everything from hamsters to horses. I look forward to caring for your pets.

We had a disappointing experience with Sara. Sara never showed up to feed our cats on the first day of the booking, and did not show up by the scheduled time on the second day. At that point we canceled our booking and found someone else to feed our cats. Throughout this experience it was very difficult to communicate with Sara. We understand that mistakes can happen, but the lack of communication made the experience very stressful and anxiety-inducing. Finally, after we canceled our booking we had difficulty getting our house key back, and felt misled by Sara's communications with us on that topic.

Sara is amazing and patient. Merlin had a great stay with her. Sara introduced him to many new friends. He came home a very happy pup! He wasn't at all stressed out as he is after a stay at a kennel. I highly recommend Sara.

We were able to book Sara on short notice to care for our 10 week old 3lb Chi puppy. Everything was great but be sure to text/message Sara to confirm location as rover gave us the wrong address.

Sara did a great job taking care of my senior cats while I was away. One of my cats, Cleo, requires daily oral medications and I can tell you Cleo doesn't make it easy, but Sara was able to do it. I could really tell she cared about getting to know the cats and making sure they were comfortable. I will be booking with her again in the future!

Sara took good care of Paisana. She went out of her way to protect and keep her safe while I was away. I would highly recommend her.

I need to know how the dog gets along with other dogs and cats. I also want to know if they have any naughty behaviors.
