Animal-loving grad student
Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Sarah, and I'm a full-time graduate student. Although I haven't had a pet of my own yet as an adult, I've grown up with dogs for all of my life, and love taking care of them! I unfortunately can't have a pet in my apartment, but very much miss having furry friends around! I'd love to give your fur-baby some extra love, playing, walking, and feeding and would be happy to do occasional weekend house sitting and pet watching as well. I have been babysitting children for years, and have been very fortunate to also care for family pets during this time as well. I have also regularly provided care for friends’ dogs and cats while they are out of town. I am very responsible and conscientious, and would very much enjoy having a chance to give your pet the best possible care while you're away! Thanks for considering me for your pet sitting and dog walking needs!
Reviews
Sarah is so great with our dog, Coco! Coco is a young puppy with lots of energy, but Sarah handles her with such grace. She has a bit of separation anxiety while we are away, but loves Sarah so much that we have no worries/concerns when we are away from our fur baby. Couldn’t recommend Sarah enough!!
Sarah is an incredibly kind, reliable, and trustworthy caregiver! When she cares for our cat, I feel grateful knowing that Sarah will provide affection, time, and TLC for her while we are out of town. Our cat has had some health issues and Sarah has had no problem being patient with her and administering medication. She also genuinely appreciates our cat in the same way that we do - which is really special! I cannot say enough good things about her and I highly recommend her services :)
Sarah has been helping let my dog sally out and watching her over night for over three years. She is very reliable and is one of Sally’s favorite people! Sally has significant separation anxiety and Sarah eases my concern about this by giving Sally the attention she needs. I don’t trust anyone as much as I trust Sarah to care for my sweet but crazy dog.
I would highly recommend Sarah as a dog sitter. She is incredibly organized, responsible, and reliable. She is great with both pets and kids, and enjoys her time with them. If you are looking for an extremely dependable sitter, Sarah is the one.

I cannot provide services in my own home. I’d be happy to care for your pets in their own familiar environment, providing plenty of love and attention!
Information Sarah H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any behavioral concerns or special needs your pet may have so that I can be aware. I prefer dogs who are not aggressive, but have plenty of experience with pets who may be a bit shy/anxious or may have specific needs or medications that need to be provided.
A typical day
I enjoy taking dogs for walks and play to keep them entertained and feeling good while their parents are away! I give plenty of love and am always happy to have some good pet-cuddling time!

I currently work full time as a graduate student, but have several days each week where I could be working at least part of the day from home. I would mostly be available for weekend sitting.
