Pet care experience

Calm, Caring Pet Sitter

I’ve cared for pets my entire life, including dogs, cats, and small animals, and I bring that same love and attentiveness to every pet I welcome into my home. I’m especially patient and gentle, which helps shy or senior pets feel at ease. Whether it’s keeping a consistent routine, offering calm companionship, or making daily walks the highlight of their day, I treat every animal like family. My settings may show 1 pet at a time so as to not receive multiple booking requests. However, I am happy to take care of multiple dogs from the same household. Message me with details.

Winnie loves going to Sara’s. He loves the yard and all the toys and he gets lots of snuggles! He’s always well taken care of when he is there

Sara was absolutely amazing! Zoom intro then in person meeting. I received daily updates while on vacation. She was wonderful and will definitely be using her services again.

Sara was super responsive and worked with me when I had to cut our time short due to weather. I got photos everyday and Fritz was super comfortable there.

I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and even holidays, with plenty of time for walks, play, and cuddles. Whether your pet needs a calm, consistent routine or extra playtime, I’ve got the flexibility and dedication to make them feel right at home.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is secure and pet-friendly, with a calm environment that helps animals feel at ease. Even though my yard is fenced in, all outdoor time is supervised to ensure your pet stays safe. I’m always mindful of each pet’s routines and needs. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away—so I treat every pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I am happy to accommodate your communication needs, with photos, so you will be assured of their well-being.

A typical day

Your pet’s day with me will be full of care and comfort. We’ll start with a morning potty break and breakfast, followed by a walk to stretch their legs (weather permitting) and some relaxed hangout time. I work from home, so your pet will have company throughout the day—whether they want playtime, cuddles, or a cozy nap by my side. Depending on their routine, we’ll fit in midday and/or afternoon walks, quiet time, and a chance to unwind. Please note that I will not go for long walks after dark because the roads in my neighborhood are not well-lit and it would not be safe. Evenings mean dinner, a final outing, and winding down for a peaceful night. I follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible to help them feel safe and at home.

To give your pet the best care possible, I’d love to know about their daily routine, energy level, and any quirks or special needs they may have. Please share things like: – Feeding schedule and any dietary restrictions – Medical needs or medications – How they do on walks or around other animals – Crate habits or preferred sleeping arrangements – Comfort items or routines that help them feel at home – Any behaviors I should be aware of (nervousness, pulling on leash, getting into trash, etc.) Every pet is unique, and the more I know, the more I can make their stay comfortable, safe, and happy.
