Reviews
Sarah is an outstanding caretaker in many different ways. She is a nurse so is exceptionally skilled at providing care to people. However, she has also been responsible for taking care of many different pets throughout the years. She grew up with dogs, bunnies, turtles, and birds (occasionally all at once). She understands how to give love to all animals but knows that certain care procedures are often necessary. Sarah is a dedicated bunny mom, but holds a special place in her heart for dogs. I've personally witnessed her take care of many different types of dogs for weeks at a time. She's taken care of small dogs such as West Highland Terriers and Bichon Frisés, and she's taken care of larger dogs like Labradors, German Shepherds, and even Pitbulls. She loves playing and hanging out with all types of dogs. She also loves taking them for long walks. She's the right person if you're looking for someone to show your pet affection but also follow instructions for feeding, administering medication, and other general care procedures.
Sarah is an incredibly loving and trustworthy individual. Countless times has she cared for my pets -- ranging from dogs to bunnies (and even fish) -- loving them as if they were her own. With a background in the medical field, she is also knowledgeable and communicative providing you with updates when necessary. Your fur babies are in good hands with Sarah, always!
Sarah has cared for my large dog, Rudy several times (day visits, walks, and overnights). He has a lot of energy and was tired and happy when I would return home from him after spending time with Sarah. He loves her and greets her when he sees her! It came as no surprise as Sarah was a nursing student during her visits with Rudy that she was responsible, careful, and communicative. I was impressed with her friendliness and professionalism. I referred her to a friend of mine and she cared for their two rabbits for an extended period as well. She always goes the extra mile to send photos and really relieves me of the stress and anxiety I feel when I am away from my dog! I would absolutely recommend Sarah as a pet sitter.
