I could not be happier with the care Sarah took of our cat, Marley. She sent thoughtful updates and photos after each visit which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Marley was well cared for and it was clear that Sarah spent quality time with her at each visit. Sarah was reliable, communicative and respectful of our home. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.

Sarah is an excellent sitter! She sent great updates and tons of photos. I could tell my cat felt very safe and happy with her.

Sarah did a wonderful job looking after our two cats. Her updates were very detailed and really helped in letting us know how things were going back home. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter

Have booked Sarah for dog-sitting with our pup twice now - she is fantastic with our dog (~55 lb, beagle-mix), and goes above and beyond during her stay. Highly recommend!

I'm interested in your pet's personality and demeanor, and anything quirky about them and their lifestyle. Every pet is special and different :) I would like to hear about your dog's training; which commands they respond to, if they are crate-trained or free range, and if there's anything in particular you're working on with them and would like to be reinforced during my stay. I want to understand when and how they eat (and if they’re food motivated), as well as their energy and activity levels. Please inform me of any medical concerns, medications and/or supplements taken, and if they have any allergies. I would also like to learn about how to walk them – what they have for gear such as type of collar/harness, where they like to walk and for how long and how frequently each day, whether they pull or walk loose-leash, how they respond to other dogs and people/children on walks (and in general), and if they are fearful of or reactive to anything specific (and how you respond to their reactivity). *Please note: I will not use a retractable leash for safety reasons.* Anything you can share with me about how to best care for your beloved furbabies is very much appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read my extensive profile. I look forward to hearing from you! Please allow 24-48 hours for a reply.
