Availability
I am currently only available for walks/drop-ins during the early mornings/evenings on weekdays (M-F) and all day on the weekends. I am available for sittings primarily during the weekend but depending on distance from the vet school may be able to do weekdays. I'm a flexible person and am happy to accommodate your schedule whenever possible. Just let me know and we can work it out. I don't mind same day requests, but I might have other pets booked in advance or prior obligations!

About Sarah A.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
While I do not offer care at my home as I have some lovely animal babies of my own, I am confident in my animal handling abilities. I have shadowed and worked with certified fear free veterinarians who have taught me the tricks of the trade. Additionally, if your animal requires medication administration I am able to do that as well.
Information Sarah A. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs, this can inform how I approach care for your pet. I don’t mind a high energy dog. However, please let me know in advance if your dog has issues interacting with other dogs or animals so I can better my care.
A typical day
I love to be active and I love to have doggy with me while I’m out and about! We can go on hikes, play in that park, and just have fun running around in the yard. If you have more of a lapdog, we can snuggle up to watch a movie or read a book!

Vet Student at Cornell University
Pet care experience
I am aspiring veterinarian in my first year at Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine. I currently work as a student worker at Cornell University Hospital for Animals in the exotics department! I am a life-long animal owner who grew up rescuing cats (through adoption and TNR) with my family. I’ve had cats, dogs, bunnies, frogs, and fish! I'm always excited to make a new furry friend. :) Apologies if I am ever late getting back to you- my schedule has revolves around school and I am not always able to check my notifications 🔔 while I’m in class or working in the hospital.
Cat care experience
Sarah also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Sarah was wonderful in all respects. She is warm, very comfortable with our senior dog, responsive and accommodating. Her communication is excellent. She has no problem giving medications. I will absolutely book her again.
So glad we found Sarah! She has a real knack for cats - just minutes after she arrived, ours was not only out from under the bed but happily allowing her to pet him. Sarah kept in touch throughout her stay and the photos showed he was having a great time. Looking forward to the next time our schedules line up!
Sarah took great care of Kousa, was excellent at communicating, and shared great photos. Thank you!
Jupiter loves Sarah and warmed up to her right away! Sarah is great--very communicative and thoughtful, and I'm so happy to know a vet student is watching over my pup. :)
