As a cottage baker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the week. Since I currently can’t have pets in my own home full-time, I genuinely love using my free time to spend time with furry friends! Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion during the day, I’m happy to fit their routine into my schedule and give them lots of love and attention.

Safety, trust & environment

I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I take pet care instructions seriously and do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress and keep them happy. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, energy level, and needs, and I always prioritize safety during walks, feeding, playtime, and downtime. With over 15 years of pet care experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets with special routines, medications, or senior care needs as well.

Information Sarah D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet’s daily routine, personality, energy level, triggers, medications, allergies, or any behaviors I should be aware of ahead of time. I want to make sure I provide the safest and most comfortable experience possible for your pet. Whether your dog is shy, highly energetic, reactive around other animals, or just has specific preferences and quirks, I’m happy to accommodate their needs and care for them in a way that helps them feel secure and stress-free.

A typical day

A typical day with me includes lots of attention, affection, and activity tailored to your pet’s personality and comfort level. I love going on walks, playing games, giving treats (with owner approval!), and making sure pets get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. For more relaxed pets, I’m just as happy spending quiet time cuddling on the couch or keeping them company while I work on my orders. My goal is always to make your pet feel loved, comfortable, and excited to see me again!

Loving, Reliable Care for Your Pets

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. I would love and care of them as if they were my own fur baby.

Sarah was amazing as a dog walker for my pups! She was very responsive, came exactly on time for the walk, and was clearly so sweet and loving with both of my dogs! One of my pups is quite shy and Sarah spent extra time with her to get her comfortable before the walk which was above and beyond amazing. Will absolutely book with her again in the future!

Sarah watched my dog for several nights while I was away caring for my terminal ill mother. It was her first time sitting with my senior dog in my home and I was concerned that he would be anxious with a new sitter for that length of time. My concerns were unwarranted. Sarah sent daily updates and provided lots of communication. She did an amazing job following the instructions I left for her. I would highly recommend Sarah to care for your beloved pets. I will definitely use her service again. Thank you so much Sarah!
