I currently work part-time as a medical assistant and am a full-time pre-med post-baccalaureate student at George Mason University. While my schedule varies, it offers plenty of flexibility between classes and work. With a little advance notice, I’m happy to accommodate dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting for both dogs and cats. I look forward to meeting you and giving your pets the attentive, loving care they deserve!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I will take the time to follow your instructions carefully; from feeding schedules and medications to favorite walking routes and playtime preferences. I strive to create a calm, positive environment where your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. During visits or house sitting, I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on your pet, and provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind. My goal is to treat your home with respect and care for your pets as if they were my own.

Information Sarah G. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know as much as possible about their routine and personality. Please let me know their feeding schedule, potty routine, favorite activities, any medications or medical conditions, allergies, behavioral quirks, fears or triggers, and how they interact with other people or animals. For cats, I’d also like to know their litter box routine and favorite hiding spots or toys. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible.

A typical day

A typical day with me is tailored to your pet’s routine and personality! Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. For dogs, that means plenty of exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and lots of affection. For cats, I’ll keep their feeding and litter box routine consistent while making time for play, enrichment, or quiet companionship; whatever makes them happiest. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your furry family member is doing while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you’re back home.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Sarah, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets. As a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats, I know every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether they’re energetic, shy, young, or senior, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to keep your pet’s routine consistent. I also have experience with cats and understand that each one has unique needs. I have reliable transportation, so getting to your home on time is never a problem. I currently offer dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. During every visit, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and provide dependable, loving care you can trust. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members!

Sarah answered all my messages ASAP which I loved. She sent me consistent communication and pictures throughout her stay with my two pups. As well as updated me after walks and let me know the dogs ate and peed/pooped.

Sarah was amazing! I needed a last-minute sitter for my dog, Milo, and she came through. She kept me updated the entire time with regular messages and adorable pictures of my pup, which was awesome. Milo absolutely adored her… and if he’s happy, I’m happy! I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
