There are beautiful walking trails nearby along with local hiking spots. I will work with you and your pet to assist your pet in feeling comfortable, safe and cared for.

Pet care experience

I have owned three dogs over the past 15 years. Our current pup Ruby is 10 years old. I am semi-retired with a flexible schedule. I have cared for cats and large and small breed dogs. I volunteer with a local animal shelter and also with an equine assisted therapy organization. I am certified in pet first aid and CPR and hold a level 1 Reiki therapy cat/dog/horse certification. I have genuine love for animals and enjoy providing extra special attention and customized care to each because every pet is cherished and unique. Your pet will always be treated like family, and you will feel confident in knowing that your pet is safe, cared for and happy. References are gladly available upon request.

Sarah is so caring for our puppy! She is very attentive and ensures that our dog doesn’t get into anything dangerous while playing or walking with her. Sarah communicates any concerns she sees very well! She takes dog care to another level!

Sarah is the best! We trust her completely with our Kitties and our home. She is very reliable and will communicate with you as much as you like. It's a good feeling to travel and know that your babies are are safe and being well taken care of. Our eldest cat needs medicine twice a day, so it's great to have someone that is competent and truly cares. Thank you, Sarah!
