Availability
I work full-time Monday through Friday with every other Friday off. From 6 AM to 3 PM, but I can accommodate meet and greets throughout the week, including drop in visits on my lunch break. If I’m staying at a client’s home, I can easily plan my schedule around your pet’s needs, ensuring they receive consistent care and attention. I’m most available for extended services Friday through Sunday, so we can coordinate a schedule that works best to keep your furry, feathered, or scaly friend happy and comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In my home or a client’s home, I ensure the space is pet-proofed and free of hazards. I follow each pet’s routine to make them feel at ease, respecting their space and preferences. For new pets, I take the time to build trust through positive interactions and gentle introductions. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, safe space with designated areas for eating, sleeping, and play. I supervise all interactions, especially with other animals, to ensure everyone's safety. I also maintain cleanliness, making sure litter boxes are scooped daily (or more frequently depending on the pet), food and water bowls are clean, and any medication needs are carefully followed. When staying in a client’s home, I respect their environment by keeping their pet’s routine consistent, and I ensure they have a safe, familiar space. I communicate regularly with pet owners to update them on their pet’s well-being and to address any concerns. My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and comfort in your home as I would in mine.

A typical day
A typical day with the pets I care for is filled with fun and personalized activities to keep them engaged, happy, and comfortable. I start the day by making sure they have fresh food and water, followed by a quick check to see if they need any grooming or medication. For dogs, we’ll go on a walk or play fetch in the yard, depending on their energy level and preferences. For cats, we might enjoy interactive play with toys, have some cuddle time, or engage in mental stimulation games like puzzle feeders. I also make time for snuggles, treats (if allowed), and bonding activities to build trust and ensure your pet feels loved and safe. I monitor their behavior throughout the day, making sure they’re comfortable and have plenty of opportunities to relax in their favorite spots. If the pet enjoys quiet time, I respect their need for rest while keeping a watchful eye. I aim to create a fun, enriching day for every pet, tailored to their individual personality and needs!

Pet care experience
Hi there, I’m Sarah! I’m a U.S. Navy veteran who separated in 2017, and I’ve spent my life traveling—living in 25 states and 6 countries as a military brat. This has given me a deep appreciation for different cultures, environments, and, most importantly, animals of all kinds. My love for animals runs deep. I’m comfortable watching all kinds of animals! Over the years, I’ve owned bunnies, birds, reptiles, and goats, and I’ve had plenty of experience helping my aunts and uncles with their farm animals. From horses and cows to chickens, I’m confident in caring for a wide variety of pets. I have an older service dog, Basil, and an older cat, Dhara, so if your pets stay with me, they’ll be in a calm, experienced environment with plenty of love and attention. Both Basil and Dhara are used to being around other animals and help create a peaceful atmosphere where your pet can feel comfortable and at ease. I’ll ensure your pets are treated like family and receive the care and respect they deserve while they stay with us. I spent two years training my service dog, Basil, at the ARF Pets for Vets facility in Walnut Creek, California, which gave me valuable insight into pet behavior, training techniques, and the unique bonds we share with our furry companions. Whether it’s offering tips for curbing troublesome behaviors or simply ensuring your pet feels safe and loved, I’m here to help. When I’m not working as an electrical engineer building ships for the Navy, I’m exploring the world, cooking and baking (I’m an elite Yelp reviewer!), or indulging my passion for design—creating 3D models and bringing ideas to life. I’m a firm believer that animals have their own way of communicating, and I take the time to understand their body language, giving them space to express their needs and personalities. What you can expect from me: Personalized care and attention for your pet’s unique needs. Training advice for behavioral challenges Daily updates with photos, texts, and videos. A meet-and-greet to ensure a good fit and understanding of your pet’s routine. A commitment to your pet’s safety, health, and happiness. I look forward to meeting your fur babies and giving them the love and care they deserve!

Reviews
First off Sarah, is not only the best dog sitter around the GB area, but an absolute joy to meet and work with. She took care of my 3 large dogs all who have meds and other needs, in addition to my boss 6 lb ginger cat. She provided me with multiple updates and pictures through out the day. I was apprehensive of letting a complete stranger in my home to watch my boys, but once I met her, I felt immediately at ease and my boys too! Thank you Sarah, for all that you did to care for the boys and my home. P.S. We owe you a pint of Carmel Truffle next time. 😉
Absolutely amazing! Have used this app before and will not choose anyone else, took it upon herself to do more than just house house / dog sit!
1st time having a dog sitter and it went so amazing! My Rottweiler is selective/reactive and he did so well with Sarah. Got picture updates and communication was always great. Thank you again Sarah will definitely be using you again!
Wonderful as always
