Trusted & Experienced Care

Pet care experience

Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a lifelong dog owner, animal rescue volunteer, puppy foster, and experienced pet sitter, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs, including newborn puppies, senior dogs, and pets requiring medication. My love for animals started early. My mother was a veterinary technician, and I grew up helping care for animals and learning the importance of compassionate, attentive care. Today, I continue that commitment with my own dog, who has special medical needs, giving me firsthand experience with detailed care routines and medication administration. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. When you’re away, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, providing reliable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.

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!
