Pet care experience

Paw-some, compassionate pet care!

Growing up, I never met an animal I didn’t like! I cared for dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and a hermit crab at home while volunteering at my local aquarium and telling unsuspecting folks all of my favorite shark facts. I pursued this love of critters through college and now am so lucky to work as a full-time permitted wildlife rehabilitator at a C’Ville area nonprofit! While I spend my days caring for orphaned and injured wildlife, my favorite part of my day is spending time adventuring with my own pup, George. My extensive work with wildlife in a clinical setting - including small mammals, songbirds, raptors, and reptiles - transfers wonderfully to caring for domestic animals of all shapes and sizes. I am trained in administering medications, providing CPR to mammals, and identifying potential health issues. Above all, I am committed to providing a safe, compassionate, and super fun experience for your furry friends.

Safety, trust & environment

I am dedicated to creating a safe and soothing environment for your pet. That being said, I know that what might be soothing for one pet might not be for another! I am committed to learning your pet’s unique needs and personality traits. I have experience working with and training reactive dogs and understand how to manage and reduce potential triggers.

Sarah is awesome! She is great with my cat (who doesn't like anyone) and she's wonderful about communication and consistency.

Sarah is so great with my 2 cats! She is very reliable and gives them the best love and attention while I’m away. I have used her several times and my kitties love when she comes to see them! Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs! ◡̈
