Pet care experience

Fun-Loving Pet Enthusiast Ready

I've always had a deep love for animals, from dogs and cats to cows and goats. My journey with pets has been filled with joy, having been a proud parent to two dogs and a cat. Though they have passed, the love and lessons they left me with endure. I'm eager to share that care and compassion with your pets, ensuring they feel as loved and cherished as my own. Whether it's a walk or simply providing companionship, I look forward to being a helpful and joyful part of your pet's life. I’ve worked with deaf and blind senior dogs/cats. I've provided additional care by administering eye drops, spoon feeding, oral medication (pills or syringe), and ear medication. I’m experienced in administering IV fluids or insulin for cats. My approach is always gentle and compassionate, prioritizing each pet’s comfortability.

Sarah has been an amazing sitter for us! She's been flexible and accommodating to our cats as well our sitting needs. We looked forward to her wonderful drop in updates every day we were gone. She was even able to coax one of our more shy cats out of hiding for some pets! Highly recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs!

House Sitting • Jun 20, 2026

Sarah was absolutely fantastic, and we would hire her again in a heartbeat. She cared for our two dogs while we were away in Kauai for a week, and from start to finish, she exceeded every expectation. She communicated effectively with daily updates and photos, giving us complete peace of mind while we were traveling. Sarah went above and beyond in so many ways. She adjusted walks based on our dogs' energy levels, gave them extra walks, regularly picked up after them around the yard, and followed all feeding and care instructions perfectly. She was incredibly thoughtful and even took them on one last walk before our return so they would be calm and settled when we got home. One thing that really stood out was how relaxed and comfortable our dogs were in her care. Typically, when we travel and leave them with others, they show signs of stress, such as poor eating habits or irregular bowel movements. This time, neither of those things happened. They were happy, healthy, and completely at ease—it honestly felt like they were on vacation too. She also treated our home with great respect. As a wonderful surprise, she washed bedding and towels without being asked, managed the trash cans on trash day, and left everything clean and organized. Most importantly, we were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our pups were safe, loved, and exceptionally well cared for. Sarah is reliable, thoughtful, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We couldn't recommend her more highly!

Sarah has helped watch our cats twice now, and she has a great routine for playing with the cats, refilling their food, and checking their litter. She is flexible with our needs and responds quickly.
