Pet care experience

Reliable, Loving Pet Sitter

Animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember. I’m a proud animal owner. I have four wonderful cats. I’ve fostered, sat for, and loved many animals over the years—including cats and dogs both young and old. I truly understand the bond we share with our pets. As an experienced foster caregiver and seasoned sitter (from age 12), I know how hard it is to leave your animals behind—and how important it is to trust the person caring for them. Whether it’s dogs or cats, playtime or meds, cuddles or cleanup, I treat every animal like family. You can count on me for reliable care and a clean, happy space every time.

Sarah and Dareld provide thorough care, while with them our pup had a medical problem and they were so communicative, concerned and took our dog to be seen and helped! We are grateful for such caring individuals!

Schedule

I don’t work outside the home—I’m a full-time homemaker, mom (my son is 14 and loves animals too!), wife and part time student. Balancing these roles has made me highly organized and dependable. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, thoughtful care to pets. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy the companionship, purpose, and joy animals bring to my life.

Safety, trust & environment

In our home, pet care is rooted in love, health, and safety. I follow strict, vet-guided routines for my own cats—including special diets and medication for asthma and hyperthyroidism—because I want them to live long, happy lives. I bring that same level of care to every pet I watch. I’m happy to follow your pet’s individual routine, diet, or medical needs. You’ll receive regular photo updates, fresh water daily, proper litter/potty care, and check-ins based on your preferences. While I (Sarah) am the primary caregiver, my partner Dareld is a verified sitter and can step in if needed to ensure consistent care. For boarding or doggy daycare, we kindly ask that dogs are cat-experienced. Our senior cats need calm interactions and space, and this helps keep everyone safe and comfortable.

Let me know what specific needs you or your animals might need. I want to ensure their health, safety and happiness is priority. For boarding or doggy daycare, we kindly ask that dogs are cat-experienced. Our senior cats need calm interactions and space, and this helps keep everyone safe and comfortable. If they have a special diet, allergies or specific routines please let me know prior to booking. Thanks! Since we work as a pet-sitting team, Dareld and I (Sarah) like to schedule a meet-and-greet before confirming any booking. As true animal lovers, it’s important to us that both you and your pets feel comfortable and confident with our care. This meeting also ensures that, in the unlikely event of an emergency where I’m unable to attend, Dareld—who is fully verified and qualified—can step in seamlessly. Additionally, meeting together adds a layer of safety when connecting with new clients. We typically schedule meet-and-greets after 5/6pm (Monday-Friday) or anytime (Saturday and Sunday). However, if that doesn’t work for you, we’ll do our best to find a time to accommodate a meet and greet. Thank you for being such amazing pet parents—we’re excited to meet you and your furry family!🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜
