Fur babies are my passion

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm, always having dogs and cats around. I also worked at a small animal shelter for 3 years, where I rescued my 2 cats and dog. Later I worked at a pet supply store. We were given extensive education on pet nutrition, handling and care. I have always been friends and families go to person for their pet sitting needs. Also I cared for my husband's 2 elderly dogs when we moved in together, helping them eat, administering medications and helping them in and out of the house.

Sarah is a pet person and very clearly loves animals with her whole heart. She's part of a VERY small circle I entrust my dogs with and she has looked after and loved on my two boys several times. When we've bumped into her on walks, my dogs are soooo excited to see her! She's communicative and follows my care instructions to a T, and I have TOTAL peace of mind when Sarah is watching my dogs.

Sarah is wonderful with both dogs and cats! Not only is she the absolute best pet parent to her own, but I had the privilege to work alongside her at a pet supply boutique where she helped hundreds, if not thousands of pet parents with their pet nutrition and care needs! I actually own a pet sitting business now and if she didn’t live so far from me, you’d bet I’d have her as a part of my ‘Pack’! Highly recommend!

Sarah is great with all animals. She watched my dogs for many years one of which was a super high maintenance Carolina dog that even vets had trouble with.

Sarah is amazing with animals. She took care of my 2 dogs regularly. She was even able to manage my very crazy Carolina Dog! Sarah is a compassionate animal lover who will take great care of your pets!
