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!

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!

Sarah was wonderful. We left town for a week and I was nervous because Bella had the same sitter for the last 10 years. She's now 16 and not used to new people. I didn't need to worry though Bella was just fine. She fit right in with Sarah and her kids. She was very patient with her. Bella requires a couple of meds and she had no problem with that. Sent periodic updates and pictures. I'm very happy and grateful. I'll definitely use Sarah again!

Sarah is very cautious with my Frenchie, Kailani l, during the hot humid temps here in Florida. Kailani always loves her visits with Sarah! Thank you again for taking such good care of my girl!

Sarah took great care of my cats! She was always on-time and sent detailed updates of her visit. My cats weren’t the most friendly but that didn’t discourage Sarah. We had to unexpectedly extend our trip and she was able to add on a few more days of care to help us out, which I really appreciated! I will definitely book with Sarah again for future trips.
