Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, Patient, Animal Lover
I can guarantee you peace of mind. I have a long history of caring for animals. I grew up around dogs, cats, and farm animals, and over the years I’ve gained hands on experience supporting special‑needs pets, senior animals, and those who require extra patience, structure, or medical attention. It is my personal philosophy that animals are truly happy when all three core needs are met: Physical health — exercise, nutrition, and safe routines Mental health — enrichment, stimulation, and confidence‑building Social health — connection, communication, and companionship As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find a sitter you can trust and depend on. With me, your animal will receive individual attention, thoughtful care, and support tailored to their age, personality, and any special requirements. Book a free meet & greet with me to see if we’re a good fit for you and your pet.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Sarah loves dogs and gets satisfaction out of seeing a dog have a great day. Given a choice, Sarah would probably make an entire career out of playing with dogs all day, just to see their happy faces. She also understands that in order to have a good day, dogs need attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. When Sarah watches my dog, I know she will not just be fed and let out, but she will have an exciting and engaging day.
Sarah is my most trusted dog sitter. Our dog, Miley, lights up whenever we say her name. Sarah takes the time and care to make sure your dog is comfortable and engaged at all times. Miley knows exactly where to go when we show up and it is always a struggle getting her to leave Sarah and her adorable beagle baby Pickles. If you are looking for a reliable, loving sitter...Sarah is your girl. :)

Schedule
I work from home Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, which makes boarding a great fit for my routine. I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care. In the evenings, I’m available for drop‑ins and walks, so your pet can still get attention, exercise, and support even after my workday ends. This schedule allows me to give pets a stable, predictable routine with plenty of interaction and individualized care.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When pets stay in my home, they get a calm, structured environment with plenty of attention throughout the day. I work from home 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday, so I am able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, enrichment, and companionship. I also have a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs a safe space to explore, play, and relax. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any special needs or senior care requirements. In my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I offer drop ins and walks in the evenings and on weekends, making sure pets get fresh water, meals if needed, exercise, mental stimulation, and any required medications or mobility support. I always send updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. My goal in both settings is to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for, whether they are staying with me or I am coming to them.
Pets
A typical day
I love keeping pets active, happy, and mentally engaged. When they stay with me, they get plenty of time in my fully fenced backyard, where we can play fetch, explore, sunbathe, or just enjoy some relaxed outdoor time together. I also incorporate enrichment activities like puzzle toys, sniff walks, and simple training games to keep their minds busy. For pets I care for in a client’s home, I bring the same energy and attention. Evening and weekend drop ins and walks include fun neighborhood strolls, play sessions, and plenty of affection and reassurance. I tailor activities to each pet’s personality, age, and comfort level — whether that means energetic play, gentle walks, or calm companionship for seniors and special‑needs pets. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels happy, stimulated, and loved while you’re away.

- To give your pet the best possible care, I like to learn a few key details before booking. This helps me tailor their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. Daily routine — feeding times, potty schedule, preferred walk length, and any comforting habits Temperament — how they behave with new people, other animals, and in new environments Special needs — mobility issues, anxiety, medical conditions, or anything that requires extra attention Medications — dosage, timing, and how your pet prefers to take them Senior care — slower pace, extra potty breaks, comfort routines, or support getting around Triggers — loud noises, certain dogs, strangers, or anything that may cause stress Favorite activities — games, toys, enrichment, or preferred walking routes House rules — furniture boundaries, crate expectations, or training cues Emergency contacts — vet info and who to reach if needed Knowing these details ahead of time helps me create a smooth, safe, and happy experience for your pet, whether they are staying with me or I am caring for them in your home.
