Pet care experience
COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS: I have been fully vaccinated with the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine, sanitize my hands before and after visiting a household, and wear a mask at all times. I am a biologist at heart, which means that I have cared for and have contributed to the research of captive and wild animals. I began my professional pet care experience in Washington, D.C., where I worked full-time for two years. Through this work, I learned the importance of paying attention to details, following specific instructions for your pets, and giving them lots of love! I have also owned and cared for pets of my own for as long as I can remember! I am currently a mother of two beautiful coonhounds, Kali and Maeve, and one rainbow boa, Curt. Having an owner away from home can be difficult and stressful for your pets, and I would love to keep them on their regular schedule and give them the special attention they need to make your trip away or day at work easier and even fun for them! I am currently only accepting requests for clients on Shelter Island, NY and Greenport, NY.
Reviews
Sarah..is now a member of our family! Sarah ..is attentive..caring..thoughtful..fun..and I am pretty certain that Margie cried when Sarah left. Oh..if only Sarah was always living with us!
We will miss Sarah dearly. Best of luck in Philly!
Sarah did a wonderful job with my pup during her drop-in visit! He took to her right away, and her thorough write-up about her visit gave me peace of mind while I was away.
Sarah was fantastic! She took excellent care of my kitty and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly, even keeping me informed about a maintenance situation at my apartment. She was extremely communicative and sent me awesome photos to let me know my cat was happy. She is friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

I do not have any breed preferences, as I love all animals! However, I will only watch and walk dogs over 100lbs if they are well leash trained. Before I care for your pets, I want to know a little more about them! Do they walk well on a leash? On walks, how do they respond to distractions like squirrels, birds, cats, other dogs, etc.? What is their feeding and potty routine like? Do you need me to administer any oral or injected medications? What is their favorite toy or playful activity? The answers to all of these questions will not only help me to understand your pets schedule a little better, but will also allow me to be a responsible, proactive caregiver! I also have lots experience caring for most other types of animals (reptiles, amphibians, fish, small mammals, birds, etc.), so we can figure out a reasonable rate addition for those if you need care for them as well.
A typical day
As a pet sitter, I like to take an active and fun approach with your pets, no matter what that looks like. For some animals, that means long walks and trips to the park, and for others that may mean lots of playtime inside. Either way, I will do everything that I can to make your trip away less stressful, and even fun for your pets! Since I will pet sit from your home or pick them up at home for walks, I will be able take your pets on their favorite walking routes and to their favorite parks or potty spots. I will go above and beyond to make sure that I engage your pets in all of their favorite activities while you are away!!
