Pet care experience

Treating Every Pet Like Family!

My name is Sarah, and I have recently moved to South Carolina from the UK with my family and my beloved 10 year old cat Vader. Although I have never owned a dog I have cared for friends and family members dogs in the past. I enjoy taking them on walks and playing with them ensuring that they get the exercise and stimulation that they need and lots of cuddles for they ones that want it. Having worked in the care industry for 20 years, I am extremely caring, honest and trustworthy and would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies.

We had a wonderful experience with her! She took amazing care of Tina and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Everything went perfectly, and Tina was happy and well cared for. We highly recommend her and will definitely choose her again in the future. Thank you so much!

Sarah was absolutely incredible! From the moment we met Sarah, we knew Pearl would be in the best possible hands. She provided exceptional care, treating Pearl like her own. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Pearl was so happy and comfortable, and it's clear Sarah has a true passion for cats. We can't recommend her highly enough!"

I can personally recommend Sarah DAFFERN to be an Excellent carer or sitter for your pets. Sarah has looked after my cats on many occasions, both on long holidays and short breaks. She came to my house very frequently when my cats were very young kittens to feed, clear litter trays and play with them. She is a huge animal lover herself and is a kind devoted owner of her own cat too. She is very reliable, honest, and responsible and I would trust her with my life.

Sarah looked after my dog for me. She’s very trustworthy and you can tell she loves animals. She listened to what my dog needed and required and looked after him so well. I can tell he was very happy around her! :)

Sarah is a devoted animal lover. She always has a special bond with her pets and provided them with loving care. I have no doubt that she will care and attend to the pets of others as if they were here own.
