WNC's finest pet sitter!

Pet care experience

Hi, thank you for visiting my page. For as long as I can remember, I have devoted my life to rescuing, caring and advocating for animals. This is not a temporary/part time job for me. I am retired from the corporate world so now I get to do what I truly love... spending time with four-legged friends! With me, your fur babies will get plenty of cuddles, one-on-one attention and around the clock supervision. I am fully committed to keeping them company for as long as you are away. Weather permitting and based on your pooches' fitness needs, I will take them on daily long/short walks, if that's part of their routine, and/or provide them with plenty of backyard fun to keep them busy, tired and stimulate their senses. When your pooch is under my care, they are treated as a member of my pack and their well-being is of utmost importance to me. I don't take safety lightly. I have years of experience with special needs babies, whether they suffer from separation anxiety, repetitive behaviors or have a physical disability. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate your different needs and time frames, even with short notice. I am an experienced, dependable, responsible, loving, clean and enthusiastic animal lover. I know how precious our four-legged babies are and whether in your home or out on a walk, I will treat them with the love, kindness, respect and attention to detail that they deserve! Please note that some of my past reviews are from my Rover services in Southern Utah, which included daycare and boarding. I have recently relocated to WNC and am offering house sitting, drop in visits and walks for the time being but will extend my services once I am fully established. Namaste, Sara W. Read Less

Sara is the absolute best! We had never gone on a trip without a family member watching out for our house and animals, especially now with our 14.5 yo Weimaraner. Sara made us feel totally comfortable and eased our minds and hearts. Our fur babies love her and we are thankful!

Our first time with Sara and she was awesome. She took wonderful care of our 2 golden retrievers providing lots of play time and TLC, as well as sending regular detailed updates. It's always hard trusting and trying someone new when it involves having them in your home when you're not there. Sara made us feel completely at ease and I could tell, our boys loved her. Will definitely be booking Sara again when the need arises.

Information Sara W. would like to know about your pet

I want to know everything about your pets! The more information I have about their personalities, behaviors, preferences, allergies, likes/dislikes, schedules and triggers, the better equipped I am to provide them with the happiest and safest home/play environment. This is why it is very important to schedule a meet and greet prior to booking to find out if we are a good match and establish the best care routine. I strive to make your Rover experience with me memorable and unforgettable.

A typical day

I am very active and love to hike and go on walks. Depending on your pooches' activity needs, I promise to keep them both physically active and mentally stimulated. If they are older or couch potatoes, we can curl up to a good book or movie. I welcome dogs on my bed if that's what they are used to. Every animal is different and I strive to respect their individual uniqueness.
