Fur-st Class Pet Sitting!

Pet care experience

Each dog cared for receives no shortage of love and attention! I host only one family at a time so that your pets take center stage. I have one dog of our own, so yours will have plenty of opportunity to socialize while you are away. We spend lots of time playing and going outdoors. There is no better feeling than being able to enjoy your trip with peace of mind.

I have trusted Sarah – and her two kids with caring for our Siberian Husky for the past four years while we’ve been on trips. I have full confidence in her pet sitting abilities! She will text me if she has any questions or concerns and because she has pets of her own she knows the necessity of being timely for bathroom breaks and feeding times. I also trust her completely being in my home when we’re not there. She is personable, friendly, and competent, and I highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

My approach is to provide a caring, stress-free environment that is completely tailored to your pet's needs, whether they're in my home or yours. When I care for your pet in your home, my primary goal is to maintain their familiar routine. I follow your instructions precisely regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medication. I spend quality time with your pet, providing plenty of affection and attention to help them feel secure while you're away. When your pet stays with me, they become a part of my family. I keep my home a safe and pet-friendly space where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I'll make sure to follow the routine you provide, and I give them plenty of love and exercise. you'll receive regular updates and photos so you can see firsthand how happy and well-cared-for your pet is. I believe that open communication is essential for your peace of mind, and I'm always available to answer any questions you may have.

Information Sarah J. would like to know about your pet

I can work with a wide variety of needs and behaviors. We love all dogs and enjoy spending time learning about their unique habits and interests!

A typical day

I believe that a happy pet is a well-rounded one. We'll have plenty of cuddle time, because every pet deserves a little extra love and affection. I also make it a point to reinforce any training you've established. During our time together, I'll use positive reinforcement to maintain good manners and obedience, ensuring your pet enjoys both fun and structure while you're away.
