Pet care experience
Hey there! It's so nice to meet you! About Me: I’ve had cats my whole life, and have 3 currently (Pepper, Charlie and Emerson). I also have 2 geckos (Erica the leopard gecko and Jenny the crested gecko). Although I didn't have a dog growing up, that didn't stop me from loving them all as if they were my own! In 2019, my boyfriend and I rescued an adorable mutt (Nova) and I'm in love! She loves everyone and has a pretty great vocab for a pup. I also love photography and will try to get some great photos of your pet if they will let me!!

Reviews
Sarah is so wonderful and very caring to our pittbull. She sends many updates and I would recommend her to any pet owner, especially those with special needs pets!
Sarah is amazing, she's always great with Winston and he enjoys her visits!
Sarah is my go to person to watch my Isabella while im on vacation. Each time i know that my cat is well taken care of. Good daily updates and a healthy cat when i get home. Will continue to book Sarah for future trips. Thanks.
Sarah took great care of my two cats! Both have time-sensitive medications and she was on time, cleaned up a couple messes the cat left, finds my cat who always hides! I always got updates of how the visits went which eased my mind while we were away.
About Sarah C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust & environment: I carry out my visits as if I am caring for my own pets - with love and respect. If you have special requests or special details on how to care for your pet you can expect I will follow them so your pet is most comfortable. COVID: I am also fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID19 but can still wear a mask at all Meet & Greets and visits per request. During in-home visits, I will keep things extra clean and can wear a mask and sanitize touched surfaces upon request. UPDATES: I will take as many photos/videos as I can (or your pet will allow) and write out a detailed synopsis of what we did during each visit.
Information Sarah C. would like to know about your pet
What your pet likes and doesn't like How they get along with other animals and if they have any traits I need to be aware of. Their routine Their favorite treat or if they can't have any treat (or have allergies) Who their vet is and an emergency contact Where I will find all their stuff What is their nickname?! (Ex. I have a cat named Pepper but she mostly goes by Peppkins, Peppercorn, Pepps, Peppy Poo, Peppins, Peppy)
A typical day
Typical Visit: I will customize each visit to you and your pet's wants and needs! This may be throwing a ball or playing with a string toy - or it could be just cuddling up with lots of pets and snuggles for the full visit. I have several clients who are not sure of new people, my goal is to make them feel comfortable by going at their pace. I will never force a pet to spend time by me but will make sure basic needs are met and they know I’m there with some kind, calm words. If you need additional help, like grabbing the mail or a package just let me know.

Sarah can watch in your home
Availability
Schedule: As of March 7, 2022, I will be back in the office (which is located in Holland) part-time. Weekday visits will need to be before 7:30 or after 5pm. However, due to the flexibility of my schedule, I am sometimes available for mid-day walks on a limited basis with enough heads up. If you are looking for a mid-day walker during the week, you can reach out as sometimes I am available last
