Your Pets Next Best Friend!

I first started a pet care/sitting business when I was 13! I put flyers in my neighbors mailbox and that’s how I started gaining clients! I’ve had a family dog ever since I was born, so have always been around dogs. In college, I fostered multiple dogs and volunteered at the local animal shelter!

Sara was the best. It was our first time leaving our puppy with someone that wasn’t family and she took him in like he was hers. Big plus she let him sleep in the bed, we were nervous he would be stressed out but he was cuddled all night. Would recommend Sara to anyone, your baby is in good hands with her!

Sarah was so great with Roger! We really appreciated all of her updates throughout the weekend. She was also very accommodating for us, as we had to do a 6am drop off which we know is not ideal.

Sarah was great with Scooby. She was flexible with our schedule and provided updates frequently. Would recommend.

Sarah was incredible with our high energy pup, tali! She was communicative, responsive, and super flexible when our flight getting home was very delayed. Tali had the best time and we’ll absolutely be having sarah watch her next time we are out of town!

Sarah did a wonderful job with Aubrey - it's so clear she's a huge dog person and treats her pets like family. She's very responsive and always willing to go the extra mile - when my flight was cancelled last minute, she was able to arrange an exchange with just a few hours notice to watch Aubrey that night!

Sarah was a great communicator and able to take Aubrey on such short notice - cannot recommend her highly enough!
