Pet care experience

Quality care by a vet professional!

Hi there! I’m a proud mom to two wonderful kids, a sweet dog, and a leopard gecko. I’ve had pets all my life and have always had a deep love and respect for animals. I truly believe they deserve the same level of care, kindness, and attention that we would give to any family member. I have over two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, and I recently left my full-time clinic position to spend more time with my young children, opening the door for me to return to something I’ve missed dearly: pet sitting! With my veterinary background, I’m confident and fully trained in administering medications, whether oral, topical, or injectable. I also know how to recognize signs of illness or distress, which means your pet will be in knowledgeable, observant hands. My pet care journey actually began when I was just 9 years old, watching neighborhood dogs while their families were away. Since then, caring for animals has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. Small Pets, Reptiles & Fish I’m also happy to care for rodents, reptiles, fish, and other small pets! Just send me a message so we can discuss your pet’s specific needs. If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to connect and care for your beloved pets. Hope to hear from you soon!

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure to spend quality time with your pet for the full drop in session, whether that be playing, cuddles, or whatever your pet prefers! I also understand some pets like to be left alone (I grew up with a moody cat, so I totally get it!). If your pet is like that, I’ll still hang out for the full visit and make sure to lay eyes on them at least once to ensure they’re safe and okay.

Sarah lets my two dogs out during the day. She is very reliable and I trust her to take care of my pups when I can’t be home.

Pineapple adored Sarah. He couldn't wait for his walk with her everyday. She always sent pics and played with him in our yard. She always updated me on when he went number 1 and 2 (helpful because he isn't regular) and even updated me on the cat. I'm reluctant to leave this review as selfishly I don't want her to get all booked up!

I have no breed preferences. But I would like to know of any medical conditions, history of violence (to animals or humans, if any), tendency to have separation anxiety, and what keeps them at their happiest!
