Information Sarah D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat is older or has any special requests. I'm flexible, but appreciate clear communication. I'd like to know about their personality towards people and animals to ensure they're taken care of properly.

A typical day

I love cuddling with cats/dogs, playing with them, and ensuring they feel well-loved, whether I'm with them for a quick drop-in visit or a longer walk. If I'm taking your dog on a walk, I'll make sure to go on a route that's familiar to them or even take them to a nearby park if they're into that! I want to ensure your cat/dog gets their energy out, receives the people time they need, and feels less alone while you're away.

Pet care experience

I've grown up around animals, including a lizard, endless fish (RIP), dogs, a hamster, and many, many cats. I'm a true animal lover to the core. When I care for your pup or kitty, I provide massive amounts of love, play time, cuddles, and kisses (if that's what your doggo or cat likes), an occasional treat, and I make time for entertainment such as fetch, hide and seek (yes, that's a thing), or wand toys. Since I work from home, I have a lot of flexibility to stop by for a drop-in visit or take your pup for a walk, and I'll most likely fall in love with them upon our first meeting. I've worked with shy cats and dogs before, small and big dogs, high-energy dogs and cats, and I am not afraid to try new things. I can assure you that your pet will be in the best hands when you entrust them to me! And hopefully, I'll become your animal's second best friend (you'll be their first, of course).

This was our first experience working with Sarah while we were away for ~1 week. She did an outstanding job, she was very responsive and communicated when our instructions weren’t clear. We’ve never come home to a cleaner house than this last time. We have two ragdoll cats that shed a lot, our place was immaculate when we returned home. She clearly went above and beyond. Our cats were happy and well cared for. Our packages were all in the house too. Will definitely reach out to Sarah as our first choice next time we are away.

I have traveled all summer and Sarah has eased my worries about my cats. She is GREAT! I have no qualms having her watch my kitties any time i go out of town.

Sarah is the best! She is so thoughtful and takes the best care of our Toni. I always feel at ease knowing Toni will be well taken care of when Sarah comes over.

Sarah was amazing with my skittish cats during a long holiday. I loved getting photos daily and updates, especially when she couldn't find my scaredy cat (shes a gifted hider). Id recommend Sarah to anyone and have already rebooked her.
