Your pet's second best friend
Pet care experience
I've been a pet caregiver since birth, and will be your pet's second best friend (you're obviously the first). If you're looking for an experienced sitter, look no further. I grew up with dogs, and learned how to walk my first dog before I could walk myself. I grew up caring for animals of all kinds, sizes, and needs. My house has always been a refuge of sorts for abandoned animals. As a result, we ended up with 12-14 cats at various life stages, a sheep, chickens, turtles, a tortoise, hamsters and mice, lots of fish, and a few dogs from puppyhood to their golden years. I will treat your pet like my own! If your pet has medical needs, I've got them covered! I've gotten finicky pups and cats to take their pills, and am experienced with injection doses of medication, too. I administered diabetes shots to my childhood best friend - an English Springer Spaniel named Pokey, 3 times a day during her senior years. I've cared for dogs and cats with cancer and kept pets comfortable in their old age. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. I look forward to caring for your pets!
Reviews
Sara takes the very best care of our one year old golden doodle, Rosie. She frequently sends pictures and updates. Rosie comes home so happy and this gives us peace of mind when we are traveling.
Sara is fantastic with all pups! I say this because she is an amazing dog mom to her family’s two dogs, but also because she has watched my puppy on multiple occasions. She spent a few nights watching him in my apartment, but also took him upstate for a night to meet her dogs — she’s the only person I would have trusted to take him on the train and to a new house like that without me there! He had a fantastic time and I would 100% recommend Sara as a dog sitter for anyone.
Sara is the perfect person to care for your dog! She has been taking care of her own ever since she was a little girl. She cares for her two Golden Doodles like they are her babies, letting them sleep with her every night and treating them like queens. Sara has a special spot for dogs in her heart and your furry friend will feel at home with her!
Sara is the epitome of a true animal lover. If there is anyone in my life that I can think of that I can trust my animals to be cared for AND loved, it’s Sara. If you are looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make sure your animal is safe and taken care of when you’re not there, look no further than Sara. She’s taken care of my animals and others. She travels with them, walks them, stays over and watches them. She does it all!

BOARDING/SITTING AT MY HOME: If you're boarding your pet with me, we will be at my parents’ house in Putnam Valley, where I can keep your pet happy and exercised. I cannot board pets in my apartment in Yonkers. I have two friendly goldendoodles, so dog-friendliness is a must. We also have an indoor/outdoor cat who is happy to mingle with your pet if they enjoy furry friends, but if not, he keeps his distance. HOUSE SITTING: I do not stay overnight outside of my home. Please message me about drop-in visits. WALKING: If walking your dog fits with my schedule I’m happy to do so! DROP-INS: I'm happy to drop in and feed, play with, or check in on your pet while you're out, especially on weeknights or over the weekend.

Information Sara Z. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any specific requirements in their diet or eating schedule, has a specific routine sleeping or potty schedule, requires medical attention, or has any allergies.
A typical day
If your dog is staying with me, I'll keep them entertained and happy so they don't worry too much while you're away. I can take them on an exciting outdoor adventure - we've got lots of woods and hiking trails around me, can go hang out by the Hudson Riverfront, and can play in our fenced-in yard. If that's not their speed, I'm happy to curl up on the couch with a soft blanket and a good book and snooze the day away with them!
