Pet care experience

Full time Pet Sitter; kind& skilled

Hello! My name is Sarah and I’m located in Fleming Island. I have had dogs and cats my whole life and have plenty of experience pet sitting. I give the dogs plenty of time to play in my backyard for a “dog park” experience and do things like water activities in the summer. I truly enjoy what I do, which includes doggy daycare, pet drop ins in your home, dog walks, and pet boarding. I am comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs with specific needs. For accuracy and safety, I confirm all medication instructions in writing and double-check labels before administering. I’m a full time pet sitter, so I’m home all week and have plenty of time and energy to make sure all of your pets needs are met. I can give 100% of my attention and focus to your pet. I truly have a passion and love for animals and nothing makes me feel happier and more fulfilled than spending time around animals.

Sarah was absolutely amazing with our senior dog, Charlee 🤍 Leaving an older dog can be stressful, but she made the entire experience feel so easy and reassuring. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive to Charlee’s needs (medications), making sure she was comfortable, well cared for, and getting all the extra love senior pups deserve. We really appreciated the updates and knowing she was in such kind, capable hands. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I would 100% trust Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you for taking such great care of our sweet girl 🐾

Sarah sent me pictures and updates while we were away. She was very flexible with our drop off time- we ran a little late. My dog seemed to enjoy his time there and was in good spirits when I picked him up!

Gave my dog half of the seizure medication he was supposed to have daily. I gave instructions multiple times verbally, it was on the bottle, and noted in his profile. He had a seizure as soon as he got home.

Sarah took great care of our dog. I was concerned about leaving our pup with a stranger for the first time in a while because she’s a senior and requires some special care. Chevy was just as happy and healthy when we picked her up as when we dropped her off. Sarah sent us a couple of updates with photos throughout the week, and all of my dog’s bedding smelled freshly laundered!

I’m a full time pet sitter, so I am fully available to watch your pet. I give each pet that comes in 100% of my attention and can really focus on taking care of them, playing with them and making sure their needs are met.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a professional cleaning service that comes to my house, and daily/nightly routines in place to ensure your pets are in a clean environment. I also let them play in my fenced in backyard a lot for a “dog park experience” and let them play in water in the summer if they enjoy it. If they get dirty I give them a bath before they go home. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but if you don’t crate your dog at home I won’t crate them at mine. I’m happy to follow all the guidelines you have for your pup, as in how often to feed them, or how many times a day you would like them to go out. I want to make sure YOU and your pup feel comfortable!

Pets

A typical day

I love going on long walks so I’ll take your dog on long walks to get there energy out! I also have a fenced in yard where I make sure the dogs who stay with me have plenty of time in the backyard to run and play. I also take plenty of pictures of them.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements that they need to feel more comfortable with me. I know leaving a fur baby with a new person isn’t easy so I want to make sure I have whatever knowledge I need to make sure you both feel relaxed!
