I will treat your pet as it was my own! I love all animals and welcome any extra care your pet may need while I visit.

Information Sara S. would like to know about your pet

If your pet requires any medication, I am very experienced with administering medications orally and by injection. I also have experience with breeds that have high drive, or may be a little more difficult to deal with.

A typical day

I love taking dog walks. I would be happy to work on basic training, especially with young dogs if desired. If you have water nearby our time could include a swim!

Sara did an amazing job taking care of my two fur babies while I was away. She went above and beyond by not only feeding and playing with them but also brushing them and tidying up my apartment. It's clear that she genuinely cares for animals and took the time to make sure they were happy and comfortable. I'm so grateful to have had her as a cat sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a loving and reliable pet sitter!

I needed help becoming comfortable with giving my 18-year-old cat regular fluid infusions, and booked Sara because of her background as a vet tech. She was fantastic, and helped me learn the best way to give my kitty fluids and helped me gain confidence in doing it myself. I would hire her again for any kind of pet care, including specialized things such as meds/injections/fluids etc.

Sara was fantastic! She took amazing care of my 5 kitties. She kept me updated on how they were doing after each visit and made sure to provide photos of all of them. I was also very happy to hear that my very shy cat who tends to hide from everyone came out each visit and was happy to say hello and get some pets. I would definitely recommend Sara and book with her again!

We really appreciate the time you spent with the boys. We had a great time skiing, knowing that we did not have to worry about the pups. We would recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable, trained professional to either drop in or spend the day with their doggies. Rony and Sattar Approve!
