Pet care experience

Making your pet’s day brighter 💕

Your pet deserves more than a quick potty break. They deserve loving care that makes their day brighter! I have 20+ years of experience in pet sitting, animal rescue, and dog ownership. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and needs, from puppies and kittens to seniors, including ones with medical conditions. When I visit your pet, they’ll be treated like one of my own. I’ll tailor each visit to their needs and what makes them happy, whether that means adjusting the pace of their walk, playing their favorite game, or comforting them during a storm. Ear scratches and belly rubs are always included! After every visit, you’ll get a detailed update and pictures so you can see the little moments that made their day extra special. 💕

I could not recommend Sarah enough! My two Boston Terriers are kind of needy little dudes. But Sarah absolutely went above and beyond to make sure each of their needs were met and they got all the quality time they could ask for! Thank you so much for all your help, Sarah!!

We were so thankful for Sarah’s help while my husband was out of town. She made our lives much easier by visiting our beagle during the workday. Sarah was always on time, quick to communicate, and sent pictures and updates after every visit. We never had to worry and could tell she really cared about our dog. We’ll definitely ask Sarah to help us again!

Sarah took wonderful care of our cat while we were away! Our cat is usually shy and hides from new people, but she came out to greet Sarah, let her pet her, and even posed for photos. After our flight landed, we suddenly realized we forgot to mention our fish tank upstairs. I felt so bad, but Sarah was happy to feed our fish and said it was no problem at all. She was so flexible, reliable, accommodating, and a great communicator. Thank you, Sarah!!!

Sarah regularly helps with our senior dog, and I don’t think we could leave him in better hands. As our boy gets older, he needs medication and a little extra patience. Leaving him is never easy. From the moment Sarah stepped in, we knew he was safe. She made sure every medication was given exactly as instructed, kept us updated, and treated him with so much love. When we came home, he was happy and clearly well cared for.

Sarah watched my Jack Russell Terrier while I was away, and she was fantastic. My dog is obsessed with playing fetch and has more energy than most, and Sarah made sure she got plenty of playtime…and water! Sarah also sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. It was easy to see that my pup was having a great time. I’d happily trust Sarah to watch her again!!!

Sarah watched my rescue lab mix years ago whenever I went out of town. As a puppy, she was incredibly high-energy and always looking for trouble. She loved chewing things, testing boundaries, and would make a run for the front door if given the chance. Sarah did a wonderful job keeping her active, out of trouble, and safe. She was patient, dependable, and always attentive, even when my dog was determined to create a little chaos. I always had complete peace of mind knowing she was in Sarah’s care.
