Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their comfort and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions for feeding, exercise, and medications, while providing lots of attention, love, and playtime. I keep the home clean and secure, respecting the owner’s space, and ensure that the pet feels at ease in their familiar environment.
Information Sarah D. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best care, I would need to know each pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, preferred activities, any health issues or medications, and temperament. It’s important to know if they have any allergies, dislikes, or behavioral triggers, as well as their favorite toys or comfort items. Additionally, I’d like to understand their bathroom habits and whether they have any special preferences for rest or playtime. This ensures I can tailor my care to meet their individual needs and keep them happy and safe.
A typical day
A typical day with the pets I watch is filled with fun and personalized care! For dogs, the day might start with a refreshing walk, followed by interactive play like fetch or tug-of-war using their favorite toys. If they enjoy mental challenges, I’ll engage them with treat puzzles or basic training reinforcement. They’ll also get plenty of attention, belly rubs, and downtime as needed. For cats, I provide playtime with their toys, laser pointers, or feather wands, plus enrichment like treat puzzles if provided. Whether a pet loves active engagement or prefers more space, I always respect their needs and ensure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away.

Shelter-Trained, Pet-Loving Sitter
Pet care experience
With experience in a dog shelter, pet sitting, and caring for my own animals, I’ve worked with pets needing extra care—whether it’s a cat with health challenges, a senior dog needing gentle attention, a playful puppy, or a shelter animal with a unique personality. I also studied animal behavior both on campus and abroad for my BA, contributing to a thorough understanding of pet behavior and individual needs. I take a patient, tailored approach to make every pet feel comfortable and loved.
Reviews
Sarah did a great job house sitting with my fur baby. She kept to his schedule, made sure he got his walks, and was comfortable at home. She communicated updates regularly which I appreciated. The house was clean when I returned. I would definitely book with Sarah again!
Another great stay with Sarah! Communicative, friendly, and sent updates.
Thanks!
Sarah is wonderful, and Wiley had a very good time. Highly recommend Sarah, she keeps us posted with activities and photos and timely updates. Already rebooked for a future event. Thank you Sarah!
