Availability

As a part-time web designer and content creator, I work primarily online, which allows me to maintain a highly flexible schedule. Since I set my own hours, I can easily accommodate pet care, always making time for dog walks, cat brushing, and any other needs. My adaptable routine ensures consistent and attentive care for all pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve had experience both welcoming pets into my home and house-sitting for others. I’m based in Taos, where there’s a fenced yard and access to great hikes nearby. If I stay at your home, you can expect it to be well-cared for, left clean, and I can also manage tasks like plant care as needed. NOTE for boarding: I do have a cat. Any visiting dogs must be cat-friendly and respect cat boundaries.

Information Sara T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, medical conditions, or behaviors I should be aware of, SUCH AS food or animal aggression. If your dog is aggressive toward other animals, I avoid busy places and stick to quieter walks for everyone’s safety. I’m a smaller person, so highly reactive or aggressive dogs can be a safety concern for both of us. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s needs and routines in detail before booking!

A typical day

A typical day with me starts with a walk or hike, especially if your dog is younger or has lots of energy. After our morning adventure, I feed everyone according to your instructions and make sure each pet feels settled for the day. When it’s hot out, I stay indoors to do my computer work, but I’m home most of the time aside from short errands like grocery shopping or a quick gym visit. Throughout the day, I check in regularly with your pets for playtime, a good petting session, or brushing (especially for cats who enjoy it). I tailor activities to your pet’s personality and needs, whether that’s throwing a ball, interactive toy play, or simply extra snuggles. In the cooler evenings, we’ll head out for another walk or hike. On particularly hot days, and if your dog loves water, I’m happy to take them to the river to cool off (with your permission). My goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and entertained while you’re away, making sure they get the activity and affection they need each day.

Pet care experience

Growing up on a farm, I developed hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from livestock to household pets. Today, I extend that care to my friends’ pets whenever they need support, looking after everything from dogs and cats to more unique companions like snakes and chickens. My lifelong connection to animals has given me the skills and intuition needed to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve.

A great pet sitter. my little pup was content and relaxed when I picked him up. I would recommend Sara and would certainly use her again for pet care.

I don't think Hallie wanted to leave. There is truly something special about the kindness and genuine care Sara has provided my girl. It is not easy caring for a Great Pyrenees but I know Sara lavishes her with love and gets in all the exercise she needs.

Sara was amazing. She sat with my two dogs and one cat. They loved her I will definitely book with her again

Sara was kind and welcoming to both Hallie and myself. I truly believe Hallie was sweetly loved and nurtured by Sara while I took an overnight getaway. I have much confidence and trust in her with an upcoming week in which Sara will care for Hallie.
