Information Sarah D. would like to know about your pet
I usually ask all questions I need answers to within the first few messages. Depending on your answers I am not trying to screen a pet to be rejected, it's just so I am prepared.

Always Home!💜Some medical training
Pet care experience
***DISCOUNTS FOR CATS, discounts for longer term bookings*** My first friend at age 5... was my dog "Bear" 💜 Hi, I'm Sarah. I've had animals my whole life. Animals that come to my home are treated like part of the family. I do not do a "boarding" experience where they're sitting in a kennel all day like a facility. I went through a online program through Animal Behavioral College in CA. I was trained in veterinary assisting including Animal CPR, medication administration, de-escalating anxious animals, insulin administration, pet nutrition, senior care, allergy care, and more The breeds of dogs I have the most familiarity and experience with are German shepherds, Australian shepherds, Labs, Pits, Huskies, American Eskimos or Samoyed/Spitz, Chihuahuas, Dachshunds! I have cared for 100+ different dogs and 30+ different cats over the last 2 years. For anxious pets I keep calming supplements and calming spray at home. I also "baby" them. ***Tips, gratuity, reviews and *stars* are always super welcome and appreciated, though tipping is NOT required*** For high energy dogs, I make sure that energy is burned indoors and out. Did you know About 30% of your dog's brain is dedicated to scent? So for dogs that love to stop and sniff everything every 5 seconds, they are getting just as much mental stimulation and energy burning as doing an hour long walk without sniffing! Im a flexible person so feel free to contact me to arrange pet care! I have discounts available depending on the season or your situation. For housesits, I make sure I leave the home in as clean a condition as possible, in the yards as well. I try to leave the home in the same condition as the first day or better. During caring for your pet you ALWAYS get daily updates and pictures. This is so you know your family member is doing ok. Have a great day :) ***Tips, gratuity, reviews and *stars* are always super welcome and appreciated, though tipping is NOT required***

Reviews

Great sitter! My dog seemed happy. Got multiple updates about how my dog was doing, including pictures. Sounds like he had plenty of potty breaks too.

Tilly is diabetic which means he needs to be fed at fixed 12-hour intervals and then injected with insulin every time he eats. Sarah was attentive and quickly learned how to test his blood glucose and inject him accurately. She also made sure he received his food and supplements on time. Sarah sent plenty of pictures and proactively provided updates so we could travel with peace of mind, and she took Tilly on many walks throughout the day so he had exercise and remained happy. Sarah offers everything you could ask for in a good sitter and Tilly will definitely return next time we’re heading out of town.


Absolutely lovely! She gave us plenty of updates about our Daisy and Bilbo, provided pictures and was very understanding and easy to talk to. We got two very happy pups back, definitely recommend and will use her services again!

Overall is a nice person and understanding. I got there at 6:30am but she was unresponsive for about 15 minutes. I managed to get to her floor and knocked on the door. She did take care of Milo, which I am happy for. I packed her breakfast and lunch but unfortunately Milo never got her lunch. Lunch was on Milo’s schedule that I provided but I could have communicated better. I appreciate that she was flexible and allowed me to modified my booking last second.
