Availability
As someone who works from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of free time throughout the day and week to focus on pet care. My remote work is structured in a way that gives me the freedom to plan around pet visits and provide consistent, attentive care. Whether it’s morning check-ins, midday playtime, or evening visits, I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs and make sure your pet gets the time, love, and attention they deserve!

About Sara S.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can create a calm, secure environment that feels familiar and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, playtime, or keeping the litter box clean and tidy. I make sure pets feel safe and cared for, and I always keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. At my home, pets have a quiet, cat-friendly space where they can relax without stress or overcrowding. I’m mindful of keeping things clean, secure, and peaceful—especially for more sensitive or shy cats. My goal is always to treat your pet (and your home) with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
Information Sara S. would like to know about your pet
For cats, it’s super helpful to know their typical routine and temperament. Are they shy or outgoing? Do they like to be pet or prefer space? I’d love to know their favorite toys or activities, any hiding spots I should check, and how they usually react to new people. It's also important to know if they have any medical needs, allergies, litter box preferences, or specific feeding instructions. If they’re indoor-only, a door-darter, or prone to anxiety, please let me know so I can make sure they stay safe, comfortable, and cared for exactly how they need!
A typical day
Every cat has their own unique personality, and I love finding out what brings them joy. For playful kitties, I bring out wand toys, feather chasers, tunnels, and laser pointers for a fun burst of activity. For curious cats, I’ll set up window-watching spots, puzzle feeders, or offer engaging play that taps into their natural instincts. For the more relaxed or shy ones, I’m happy to quietly sit nearby, offer chin scratches (if they’re into it!), or just be a calm presence until they feel comfortable. Whether it’s active play or cozy companionship, I tailor my care to each cat’s mood and needs so they feel safe, seen, and truly cared for while you’re away.

Cat Lover!
Pet care experience
I’ve had both dogs and cats throughout my life and have always taken pride in giving them the best care possible. Over the years, my love for animals has only grown—especially for cats. As I got older, that bond became even stronger, which eventually led me to having four cats of my own, all of whom I love deeply and care for like family. What sets me apart is my genuine connection with animals and my understanding of their unique personalities and needs. Whether it's keeping a shy cat comfortable, giving a senior pet extra patience, or just making sure every little detail is handled with care, I treat every pet as if they were my own.

Reviews
Sara was great! She provided detailed updates and I knew my cat Frieda was in great care!
Sara is a supreme cat sitter and you can trust her with your pets. She was flexible when we had a family emergency and is always reliable to make sure my kitties are well. Even my shy kitty who doesn’t like most people will excitedly greet her. Highly recommended and we will be booking her again and again!
Thank you, Sara. I appreciate your help with taking care of my babies. I’m surprised Olive came out during each visit. That makes my heart feel so happy 🩷. You’re my go to for now on. Xoxo
We get so much anxiety leaving our cat Evie but Sara makes everything better! She is very kind, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
