Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs before care begins. I’m attentive, patient, and always keep a close eye on pets during walks, playtime, and at home. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with access to a fenced-in dog yard, as well as a calm neighborhood with nearby trails that are perfect for safe, enjoyable walks. This allows me to provide both a secure environment and plenty of exercise and enrichment. I make sure doors, gates, and surroundings are always secure, and I follow all care instructions closely. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

Reliable & Caring Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and personalities since I was young, and it’s something I genuinely love. Friends, family, neighbors, and clients have consistently trusted me to walk, feed, and stay overnight with their pets, knowing they’ll receive attentive, reliable care. I’m very detail-oriented and take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs—whether that’s high-energy walks, administering basic care, or simply providing comfort and companionship. I’m especially mindful of keeping pets on their normal schedule to reduce stress while you’re away. I also prioritize communication, so you’ll always feel at ease with regular updates, photos, and check-ins. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved—and that you feel completely confident while you’re away!

Sarah took wonderful care of our 9-year-old Sheltie for three nights. He isn't the easiest dog to care for—he's on a special diet, takes several medications and supplements, and has arthritis, which makes stairs and long walks difficult. Sarah handled all of his needs with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. To make things even more challenging, our dog can be a bit standoffish with new people. Sarah was incredibly sweet and patient with him, and before long she had completely won him over. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. She texted us with photos and comments on what they were doing each day. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and a spotless house. We wouldn't hesitate to trust Sarah with him again and in fact have rebooked another house sitting with her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate pet sitter.

Sarah is extremely responsible, organized, and thoughtful. She has watched my cat, Hiccup, multiple times, and she always goes above & beyond to make sure he is well taken care of and feeling loved. I really appreciated how Sarah always showed up early and gave my cat lots of cuddles. She also loved playing with him! Sarah would be a wonderful caretaker for your pets, and I would highly recommend her.

Sarah was incredible, I cannot recommend her enough as a dog-sitter. I was away for several days and leaving my two dogs is never easy- especially as they have very different needs. One of my dogs is high-energy and needs consistent walks, stimulation and structure, while the other can be anxious and requires a calm, patient approach (especially at night and during new routines). Sarah handled both of them flawlessly; it was clear she understands dogs and adapts to their individual personalities. Sarah was extremely communicative, providing regular updates, photos and little notes about how they were doing. I never once had to wonder if they were okay- I knew they were in amazing hands. On top of that, I came home to a clean, well-kept space and two very happy, relaxed dogs- which says everything. Sarah is not just reliable, she's genuinely caring, attentive and goes above and beyond. I look forward to having her to stay with my dogs again in the future.
