Hi my name is Sara! Please read my whole profile as many frequently asked questions can be answered HERE! I'm a veterinarian assistant aspiring prevet full time college student pursuing veterinary medicine,I want to be a veterinary in the future as my career ! I’m experienced in house/pet sitting as well in all shapes, species and sizes dogs,cats,guinea pigs,horses you name it etc. I’m just looking to give some care and love to your pets. I love taking care of animals as well as walking them any where if needed. My schedule is very flexible as so am I very flexible with my costumers and what they need of me. I'm just here to meet any necessary needs from my clients. I am extremely responsible, I understand the importance of having someone you can trust to love your pets as their own while you are away. I get it I have pets of my own so I understand how it feels to leave your pets in the hands of anther stranger but with me they are in good hands! I will make your dog feel safe, loved and happy. I'll treat them like my own! I guarantee to not leave you down not a bit! I always like to do meet and greets in advance for first time guests before any booking is approved. Please allow enough time for the meet and greet to be scheduled before your booking. Just in case I and your furry pals don’t get along, you’ll have enough time before your booking to find another sitter. I generally don’t take last minute bookings because I like to do meet and greets, but due to the circumstances given sometimes I will accept bookings! Please give me a call/message if you think I'd be a good fit. I'm always willing to work something out with my clients when it comes to $$$ especially . I can't wait to meet you and your furry pals ! ( Meet and greets before are important!) I also pet sit animals other than dogs as my schedule allows - Cats, Birds, Reptiles, rabbits, pocket pets, & other exotics. If your pet will be fine staying at your home/my home and you would like my services to feed, play, hang out with them while you are away, etc please contact me. I will be more than happy to come over for a Meet-N-Greet!

House Sitting • janv. 12, 2026

Sara was awesome! She was punctual and left the house in good condition. She sent us pictures and videos of our 4 pups and updates constantly which was greatly appreciated! She also asked plenty of questions to make sure she was providing the service that we were expecting. We will definitely be booking her for our future needs!

Sara was a lifesaver during one of the most challenging times of my cat's life. He had recently gotten surgery and needed to be given medicine twice daily, which turned him from the sweetest cat to an incredibly spicy one. Despite this, Sara managed to win the battle and get the job done each and every time. Her communication skills are top notch, and she sent pictures too! Plus, she's a vet tech, which helped ease my worries. Highly recommend her for expert care of your pets, even if they're a little spicy!

I’m so glad I was recommended Sara. She updated me about both pups everyday and it assured me that they were doing well. Would definitely be booking again when needed.

Schedule

I love working with animals and have worked in various animal shelters as a volunteer and have worked in clinical settings as well as a vet assistant! So I have quite the experience you would say with animals and such.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 1 dog
No children present
Dogs not allowed on bed
Dogs not allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Safety, trust & environment

I have a cozy 2 bedroom home with a fully enclosed backyard. Your furry friends will get the run of the house and be treated like a family member. They will be free to come and go, in and out of the backyard (whether there used to the inside or outside ), as they please and be showered with love and affection. Sleeping will be the same: on their bed or mine. I love to snuggle! I have a dog of my own who I keep in the backyard kenneled when I'm boarding clients and she WILL NOT INTERACT with your pets AT ALL as she is very dog reactive and I'd like to save both parties from a situation. If your pet needs to be crated that can be arranged although I keep the animals I'm boarding and taking care inside for the most part free roam and do as they please. If crates cant be provided I have my own (Varies etc.)

Pets

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. I want to keep your dogs routine, so we will stick to their usual walking, feeding and potty schedule. I'll walk them and play with them. When at home we will play, relax and spend time together.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Sara can host up to 4 dogs per day
Before sitting your dog I would love to know what makes them comfortable, so that I can keep them happy during the stay. That is why I think its super important for you as the owner to tell me everything in regards with your, pet do they have allergies to anything?, are they up to date on their vaccines? or they get along with other dogs or kids. What are the house rules? How do they behave when they walk? Please make sure your pets' vaccines are current. I have a number of dogs that come and go through here, so we don't want anyone getting sick including my own! I also sometimes have many regular clients that frequently stay, so your dog NEEDS to be good around other dogs, especially small or older dogs or dogs of their own size. Along these lines, I prefer pets that will not be destructive when left alone. If they have to be left alone at some point. If you know that if your pet has a history of separation anxiety or destructive behavior when left alone, please know that however awesome your pet is normally, if they cannot be trusted by themselves for a few hours, this may be a factor for me not being able to take them. All these things we may be able to work with, I just need you to be honest about their personalities and their habits. Thanks!
