Animal Science Degree

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Sarah, and here’s some information about me: I have received a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science as well as a non-degree diploma in Companion Animal Nutrition. I am currently working full time at the Blank Park Zoo. I have owned pets all my life and have years of volunteer experience at animal shelters. I have been pet-sitting since 2013, and on Rover since 2016. I mainly do house sitting, drop-ins and dog walks. During college I was in a local foster program where I fostered cats and helped them find forever homes! I previously worked as a Kennel Technician in a vet’s office and gained ample experience in animal care, medicine administration, and grooming. I am comfortable bathing, grooming, walking, and playing with your pet, as well as administering medications if needed. I will treat your animals with the love, kindness and respect they deserve. I look forward to taking care of your pet!

Safety, trust & environment

I offer pet-sitting in your home. I find this is great for animals that are older, anxious, do not like being separated from their owners, or have difficultly with change. I require meet and greets before all house sits. At meet and greets, I will meet with you and your pet to make sure we are a good fit! Feel free to show me around the house, where I will be sleeping, any rules of your house, etc. Please disclose any cameras. If needed I can bring in mail and packages, as well as take out trash/recycling bins. These are just as much a house-sit as a pet-sit, so rest assured your home will be well taken care of! I can water plants as well.

Information Sarah C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any medications or nutrition restrictions/allergies your pet may have. I also always like to have an emergency number and vet number on hand. If your pet has anxiety about anything in particular, please let me know.

A typical day

I like all animals to be as comfortable as possible while their family is away, so I stick as closely to routine as possible. Please let me know what time your pet is used to being fed, being let outside to potty, take walks, etc. I will do my very best to stick to your pet’s schedule!

Please note that I work full time, my days off are Sunday/Monday. On the days I work (Tuesday-Saturday) I will be at work from 8-4:30, and will not be able to drop in during my lunch break. Typically with house sitting I will come by right after work to feed your pet and let them out to potty/take them on a walk. I may have additional drop-ins during your house sitting as well, which I do in the evenings after work. I will disclose these ahead of time if they are already booked, although I do occasionally take last minute drop-in bookings. If I do not have any additional drop-ins, I will still be gone a half hour to an hour in the evening to run home and feed my cats. I guarantee I will be there overnight with your pet and for as many hours as I am able to! Please consider this before moving forward with booking.
