Pet care experience

Treating your pets like family! 🐾

Looking for someone who will treat your pets like family? With 15+ years of experience in animal rescue, puppy fostering, pet sitting, and dog ownership, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and needs, including newborn puppies, senior dogs, and pets requiring medication. My mother was a vet tech, and I grew up helping her care for animals. Today, I continue that commitment with my own dog, who has special medical needs, giving me firsthand experience with medication administration and detailed care routines. When you’re away, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, providing dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so you have peace of mind knowing they’re safe and happy.

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.

I have known Sarah for many years and have trusted her with my dogs on multiple occasions. Whether I was working, traveling, or needed an extra hand, she has always been someone I could count on to provide excellent care and attention. Sarah has a natural connection with animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and cared for. My mom has trusted Sarah with her dog as well, and Sarah even taught her puppy several commands. It’s clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and takes pride in caring for them. Any pet owner would be fortunate to have someone as dependable and attentive looking after their pets.

Sarah cared for my dog, Puck, when I needed someone I could trust while I was away. As a pet owner, it can be stressful leaving your dog in someone else’s care, but I felt completely comfortable knowing Puck was with Sarah. She made sure he was well cared for, kept him on his normal routine, and gave him plenty of love! What stands out most about Sarah is how naturally she connects with animals. Puck warmed up to her quickly, and it was obvious that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. Her experience as a longtime pet owner, foster, and animal rescue volunteer shows in the way she cares for pets. I would happily trust Sarah with Puck again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter!
