Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pups Paw-Ty Pal
Juggling full-time studies and dedicated dog mom duties to German Shepard Stryker and rescue Doberman Luna. I’ve been raised with dogs and cats since childhood. As the go-to for family and friends in need of pet sitting, my reputation stands strong. I tend to spoil all the fur babies. Experienced with various breeds, adept at overcoming training and behavioral challenges. Your fur babies aren't just pets; they're family. Trust me to provide not just a service but a personalized, loving experience for your cherished family members. Your peace of mind, their wagging adventures. FYI the reason my rates are higher than expected is Rover takes out a big chunk. I have recently taken on an apprentice to take over my overflow of clients. If I’m unavailable for the dates you need, please message me and I can ask if she’s available. It’ll be at the same price rate, until she raises her rates. She really is great! Because of gas prices and time, travel outside of 10 mile/20 minute radius from home/Yelm will be charged travel cost per visit/day.

Sara also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I will not be offering stays at my house, but I can do house sitting. For house sitting please message me what dates/time you’re needing. I have made exceptions for last minute bookings when I’m available. At our meet and greet I’ll ask what their normal routines are and all their likes and dislikes. Please be aware that I may need to leave once a day during the weekdays my spouse works to let my doggo out, and possibly my regular drop ins depending when scheduled. To keep those away times at minimum please book far in advance so I can decline any extra clients. At my home our routine is; wake up, morning potty, enjoy a human-grade breakfast, another potty break, nap in mom's office. Playtime kicks in around noon, followed by post-lunch potty and another nap. We then join mom in her office, demanding attention, before yet another nap until the next break. Potty, Dinner, and Cuddles. Then one last potty before bed. We’re kinda couch potatoes in our home.
Ratings and reviews
This is the 2nd time we have used Sara to watch our fur baby, Maddie. We were thrilled she was available on short notice to do 3 drop-in visits to feed and play with our cat. It's such a great feeling knowing that someone we can trust is there to love on our baby girl as much as we do. I will absolutely check Sara's availability before I book my next vacation!
Once again, Sara did a great job. She made sure to go through our requests and complete as much as she could in the limited time that we had booked (my mistake; I underestimated the time needed). She prioritized our girls' social enrichment and their feeding schedules. She's a wonderful communicator and really takes care of our fur babies as if they're her own. As well as getting the *best* photos of any pet she's taking care of. Sara makes great decisions about our pets' health and care when we're unreachable, and she left our home cleaner than when she arrived (our cats are messy eaters, lol). I always greatly appreciate the effort and love she puts into caring for our beloved girls.
Sara was incredible! She went above and beyond any expectations for a drop-in petsitter. She noticed my cat was walking with some difficulty and researched massages that could help her. She spent time massaging Maddie's back and leg muscles and now she's walking with much more ease! She made recommendations for play toys that has given my 12-year old cat some much needed excitement. She sent photos and videos every day of her playing with Maddie, and now I think Maddie missing that time with Sara today! Sara was on time every day and very respectful of our home. We are deeply grateful to have found her and will definitely seek her out again!
Sara was amazing. Constant communication, updates and photos kept me at ease. She followed my huge list of instructions for my senior dogs who need a lot of care and constant attention. Would absolutely book again!
This was our first trip out of state with Sara watching our dogs and we felt at ease the whole time! Sara sent lots of pictures and videos and kept us updated on our dogs activities. We have 3 dogs each with different activity levels and needs and she took great care of them all!
Sara was absolutely wonderful with our dogs. She was there on time, played and cared for them. Sent the best pictures, and even cleaned up the area. Our dogs were so happy and well taken care of. It’s relieving to know, when we were away that they had such a great caregiver. I highly recommend Sara for one dog, multiple dogs of all ages. Thank you so much for all you have done!

Schedule
As a dog mom myself, I understand the concern of leaving pets alone while at work. Offering dog walks, potty break, and house sitting in Thurston County and surrounding areas. My schedule is open all week Sunday-Saturday depending on availability. Reach out to schedule a meet and greet!
