Retired Vet Tech

Hello! My name is Sarah, and I am looking forward to watching your fur babies for you! I was a vet tech for 11 years and have had animals my whole life. I work from home, now, for a mortgage company while my 2 girls are in school during the day. As someone who used to work in vet medicine, I understand the importance of not only your pet's comfort, but their health and safety, as well. During my years as a vet tech, I also worked with animal behavior specialists and did animal behavior modification training, so I am attuned to individual pet's personalities. Because like people, our pet's are definitely one of a kind! If your pet takes daily meds, or even needs any special kind of feeding instructions, I am happy to keep to everyone's routines!

Sarah was great and took great care of my fur baby. I will definitely use her again as long as she is up for it!

Can’t say enough great things about Sarah! She came to our house before our trip to meet our dog and for us to run through everything with her. She went above and beyond, sent many photos, and gave such great detailed updates! She really eliminated any worries about our girl while we were away!

Sarah is a kind and reliable sitter. She was easy to contact and communicate with, and most importantly, she cared for my elder dog as if her own. I will definitely contact Sarah for future pup sitting.

Sarah is amazing! This is the first time I’ve ever left my pets with someone other than a family member. They were so happy and healthy when I picked them up. I could tell they were well cared for. My anxious senior dog even was calm. Thank you Sarah!
