Safety, trust & environment

I have many years working as a Vet assistant at animal hospitals. I assure every pet is in safe hands with me, I will always go above and beyond for them as if they are my own.

Information Sarah J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any medications, special instructions, or health considerations. I kindly ask that you leave a detailed care schedule, including feeding times, routines, and any preferences, so I can follow everything closely and provide the safest, most consistent care possible while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day of caring for a pet starts with letting them get comfortable with me by approaching slowly and building trust. During drop-in visits, I use the time for play and engagement, including a 15–20 minute walk for dogs. If there’s a fenced backyard, we’ll play outside with a ball or their favorite toys; if not, we’ll play safely indoors. Before leaving, I always refresh their water, check food if it’s feeding time, and give them a treat so they end the visit feeling happy and rewarded.

Vet Assistant/ Care Giver

Pet care experience

I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, including work in animal clinic settings. I’ve babysat dogs where I provided playtime, walks, feeding, and lots of attention and treats. I’m also experienced with small pets, as I care for my own bunny, so I understand their gentle handling and daily needs. I’m patient, reliable, and truly love making pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable.
