Cat & Dog Sitting Professional

Pet care experience

I am an energetic, cat & dog loving girl. I am available most days for your dog sitting or walking needs!! I have previously worked with a few puppies, teaching them a little about potty training and how to behave on a leash. I also grew up around dogs which made me the dog lover I am today. I am athletic and able to get your dogs energy out, I love trails and outdoors. Im responsible, punctual and reliable making me a great sitter for your pet. I have experience cat and house sitting, so I know the ins and outs of the job. I currently have one cat of my own who I love and spoil to death. Choose me and you will not be disappointed. I am very flexible with scheduling and I am very understanding of any situation. I look forward to working with your pets!!

Sara has been walking our Kirby and Destiny for a couple weeks and she’s been great. The dogs seem to like her and she’s been responsible and reliable. Thank you Sara!

Sara was great and I will recommend her services. After meeting her, I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. She communicated with me everyday and sent pics of my baby. When I returned home my dog was safe and was very happy.

Sara did an excellent job with our two border collies. She managed them just as we asked ( both are rescues and one has some separation anxiety ) and she kept them safe, healthy and happy! She took them out for walking adventures daily, played tag and Frisbee with them -- and even took them to bark in the park! The picture she sent looked like they had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend her and will call on her again. Thank you, Sara, for a great experience for us and our doggies!

Very disappointed. I hired her for overnight visits which she did not do. I think she may have stayed one or two nights. The first day, she communicated with me in the morning and afternoon but did not reply to my texts in the evening or the following morning until I contacted Rover.com which they left her a voicemail and she got back to me at that point. She had left the night before and had my dogs locked in the house for over 12 hours. I had to call my neighbor to go into my home and let them out and also to re-connect my security camera she had unplugged. When she returned to my house she turned the camera around to face the wall. We specifically asked if her boyfriend would be staying here with her and she said no just her. He was with her most of the time. We wouldn't have minded if he was here had she told us he would and we met him first (he's a stranger to us and no background check as far as we were aware of). She typically came to the house for a few hours in the late morning/early afternoon and left in the late evening and did not return until late morning which left my animals locked in the house typically for 12 hours. She also helped herself to some food which was not previously discussed. I had a neighbor text me saying my dogs were barking like crazy which was out of character for them and she knew we were out of town. I then sent a text to Sara asking if she was there because the dogs were barking a lot and the neighbor got in touch with me. She replied she was out with friends watching the fight and it was almost over and she would then go back to the house. When we returned home as soon as we walked in the house there was a strong odor of urine. I looked around and noticed she cleaned up the pee, just not good enough. We got home shortly after 10 PM and I had to steam mop my floors because it was sticky when you walked on it and I couldn't handle the smell. The overall experience was very disappointing, 30% of the time on my vacation I was stressing about my fur babies. We were hoping it worked out because we would love to travel more and have someone we can trust watching our animals. She may be better with one or two days watching your animals but I honestly couldn't tell you. I wish I could recommend her but I can't.

Information Sara S. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know the pets name, age, any thing they are allowed and not allowed to do (ie. are they allowed on furniture) where all their supplies are, what vet they go to in case of an emergency, any allergies or medications and their dosages, what they love doing (ie walks and places they like going, toys they like), how long you crate them if you do, any dietary restrictions or other things I should be aware of before you leave.

A typical day

I’d love to go on walks around the neighborhood to get their pent up energy out so that they can have a long nap afterwards. I also love playing with toys, playing fetch, and giving belly rubs. I will give them the quality time they need while you are away. Let me know where their favorite spots are and what toys they love the most.
