Sarah can care for
Availability
I am available 7 days a week. I am looking to add cats and/or dogs to my existing client base to replace two that moved away and one whose parent took a work from home job. I do not have any W2 work obligations, due to my successful pet sitting business.

Safety, trust & environment
My services are delivered in the client's home for cats, in the client's home and or yard for dogs, and in the client's neighborhood for dog walks. I am regrettably unable to conduct boarding service out of my small apartment.
Information Sarah B. would like to know about your pet
I definitely need to know of any allergies, dietary restrictions, medication doses and timetables. It is also helpful to know what if any, areas or rooms of the home or property are off limits to the dog(s) or cat(s) and any specific preferred walking paths for dogs.
A typical day
With dogs, we play fetch, chase, hide and seek, and they receive plenty of petting of course. My signature Birthday "Bark-uterie" boards are standard. (with pet parent permission, or at pet parent request) During summertime, some dogs may also play in their own kiddy pool or enjoy some water gun time. *They are of course thoroughly dried off afterwards. Some dogs enjoy when I build them a "stick-city," which consists of a few sticks from the yard sticking up from the ground in a circle, for the dog to choose from to play with. Wintertime of course calls for snow mazes, paths snow forts & tunnels (with owner permission of course & depending on yard layout). With cats, we play with a variety of cat toys, catnip, box forts, tunnels, chasing, stalking, (around corners for example) as well as "snugglies & cuddlies" and plenty of petting of course.

Playful Adventures for Your Dog(s)!
Pet care experience
I am blessed to be a pet-sitter since 2019. As such, I have excellent client references and several years experience feeding, dispensing canine & feline oral medications, providing plenty of loving, playful adventures, and proper waste disposal. I also bring packages/mail inside, and trash/recycle bins out to and back from the curb to their regular spots. Pet parents often tell me their pets are so relaxed and well behaved when they return home. **I would like to take this opportunity to explain, since I have been asked often over the years, the difference in pricing between "drop-ins" and "dog walks." DROP INS: cost less, because I exercise complete control over the dog's perimeter, with a securely fenced-in backyard. DOG WALKS: cost more, because of the inherent risks that exist immediately, once we step foot off the owner's property, such as: neighbor's off leash dogs, or unsupervised children, busy intersections with a senior dog, a sniffing breed, or slower walking dog, or icy sidewalks with a dog that pulls, for example. Thanks so much in advance for your understanding.**
Reviews
Sarah is a treasure
Never a worry when we are away with Sarah on the case, she truly cares and goes above and beyond.
As usual, Sara has been very careful to meet Daisy‘s needs. She’s so helpful!
Sarah is a treasure and so worth the investment. I broke a bone and I haven’t been able to walk my dog for three months. To see the look on her face when Sarah comes in through the door is priceless. She loves her and Sarah Loves daisy.
