Pet care experience

Your pet’s new BFF

Hi, I’m Sarah! I’ve spent over 20 years caring for dogs, cats, and a whole lineup of small pets. Over the years I’ve also cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, and even hermit crabs, so I’m comfortable with just about every personality out there. Right now, I share my home with Arthur (my playful goldendoodle) and Winston (my cuddly cocker spaniel). They’re both friendly, gentle, and well-socialized, and love having new buddies around. Dogs who enjoy company usually have the best time here! If your pup likes a quieter vibe, I’m great at giving them space and a calm environment. I genuinely love the bond that comes from walks, snuggles, and playtime. All sizes and breeds are welcome, and I have experience administering medications if your pet needs a little extra care. Along with caring for dogs, I’m also available to check in on cats and water plants while you’re away. My goal is always the same: a safe, loving, and relaxed experience that helps you and your pet feel totally at ease. Arthur, Winston, and I can’t wait to welcome your pet like one of our own! ❤️ I do work full-time during the week, so on weekdays pets may be alone for 7–8 hours at a time. Because of this, I’m a great fit for pets who are comfortable being home independently during the workday. I always make sure pets get lots of attention, exercise, and care before and after work, and I keep owners updated so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

Sarah did an awesome job watching my two dogs. I loved receiving the pictures and the updates. It was great knowing they were well taken care of and had fun with their new doggie friends.

Sarah was amazing!!!! Her care for our Jazzy was exemplary! Great communication, daily pictures and an obvious love for her fur babies! I am super particular with whom I trust to care for our Jazz and Sarah by far exceeded my expectations. 🥰

Sarah was great with watching my dog and making sure she was well taken care of. She was also flexible with logistics.

Taking Kali to board with Sarah was like taking her to our own family! Sarah is adorable, she welcomed Kali into her home with a loving cuddle. She made sure that Kali and I felt comfortable with Kali's temporary lodging and that her dog, Arthur and mine would be fast friends. We talked about Kali's normal schedule and I knew the she would get all the attention and extra pets that she was used to, probably more. Sarah sent daily updates with sweet pictures and videos of Kali and Arthur's day. I truly appreciate Sarah's care of Kali and will schedule again anytime we need a dog sitter. We love love Sarah!

Y’all, Sarah was amazing from start to finish. Couldn’t find a better sitter. She was so accommodating and treated Boudin like a King. He loved playing with Sarah and her dog Arthur. He made two life long friends this stay. We will use Sarah again.

Sarah was an incredible sitter for our 2.5 yr old goldendoodle - we can't recommend her enough! She takes care in ensuring your pet is comfortable and feels at home, takes them for numerous walks / games of fetch throughout the day to ensure they are nice and tired, and keeps you updated with pictures and notes from the day. We felt that our dog was loved and engaged throughout his stay with Sarah. Her dog, Arthur, is also an incredible co-host and became fast friends with our dog during his visit! Thank you for everything, Sarah!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I start and end every day with Arthur and Winston, so feeding, potty breaks, and walks are already built into my morning and evening schedule. In the evenings, we do our longer walk or backyard play session, followed by lots of snuggles and company. Weekends are slower and more relaxed, so visiting pups get even more attention and enrichment time. I love having dogs around, so incorporating an extra furry friend into our routine feels seamless and natural.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets get a loving, structured, and calm environment. Visiting dogs join the daily routine with my two friendly pups, Arthur and Winston. I keep a predictable schedule with morning potty breaks, meals, and plenty of affection before I head to work. Evenings are for longer walks or backyard playtime, enrichment, and lots of snuggles. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality—whether they want playmates or prefer a quieter space, I adjust to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. For cats, I offer drop-in visits. I make sure they have fresh water, food, a clean litter box, and some company. I follow whatever routine they’re used to, whether that’s playtime, brushing, or giving meds. I’m detail-oriented and always send updates so you know they’re doing well. My goal is simple: a calm, reliable, and loving experience that helps each pet feel at home while you’re away.

Before your pet comes over, it helps me to know their usual routine, how they do with other dogs, and any quirks or comforts that make them feel secure. I also like to know about allergies, medications, or special instructions so I can keep everything consistent with what they’re used to at home. Sharing these details helps me make their stay as smooth, safe, and cozy as possible.
