Pet care experience

My soulmate? Every animal I meet.

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).

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure to respect your pet's boundaries, whether they hide out when I check on them or are super excited to see me the moment I walk through the door. I'll communicate with you beforehand to understand their personality, needs, and preferences. If they're not friendly towards other animals, I'll make sure to walk them in quiet areas that either you recommend or I find beforehand. Safety and your pet are my #1 priority!

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.

Sarah was awesome! Definitely will be hitting her up to walk our pup again. She provided so many photos and was very responsive. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care!

Schedule

I currently work from home, so my schedule is very flexible to come and walk your pup or check on your dog/cat during the day. I know how tough it is to be away from your furry friends, so I'm here to make it easier on you and them.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Sarah can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
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.
