Pet care experience

My 1st job when I was about 12 was pet sitter & I haven't stopped since whether it was my own pets or others. My neighbors & friends & family have found me reliable & trustworthy. (they have even trusted me with their children & I have recent clearances/background checks). I have experience with a variety of animals & breeds…my 1st 2 clients were a Great Dane & German Shepard & they were taller than me @ the time:) I also love taking lots of photos if you ever want me to create a photo book, etc. in any case, I’ll send you some:)

Sara took care of our dog, guinea pigs, fish, plants and house for 3 weeks including overnights. She did a fantastic job and set our minds at ease. The animals loved her from the start, she is kind and caring, professional and reliable, and very easy to talk to and keep in touch with during our trip. We recommend her in the highest terms, thank you Sara!!!!

Good communication. Charlie was very calm when we got home and did not seem disturbed by our absence. We appreciate her taking great care of him and sending pics. ! We will definitely use Sara again.

Sara is great! She took wonderful care of our puppy from when he was 8 weeks old until he was 5 months. She was very patient with him through his potty training and teething stages and gave him so much love and attention. We are moving otherwise we would’ve kept Sara as a dog walker forever and I know our puppy will miss her!
