Pet care experience

Your local pet whisperer 😽🐾💞

An enthusiastic dog lover and cat owner for all my life! I currently own one kitty, and am a dedicated foster home for our local cat shelter since 2016, where I have helped raise kittens from birth on multiple occasions. I am also responsible for the care and safety of a variety of animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, birds and fish at my current workplace of 3 years — not to mention all of the pet parents who come into the store with their dogs to visit with! I have so much love and expertise to go around for all felines, canines, and specialty pets!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am very committed to the work and care required to keep pets safe and happy! I value integrity and commitment, and I strive to be a sitter you can always rely on. Though I don't currently board pets to my own home, I always like to ensure I know of every pet's needs in their own home, where their favourite treat is located or keeping their favourite napping spot nice and clean. I can adapt to almost any environment, and once you return it will be such a clean and happy space you might believe I was never there!

Sarah was great for sitting with my cats. When we got home, everything was fabulous and my babies look happy.

Sarah was great and on short notice as well. My dog Petra seemed to really enjoy her company, they played and went for a walk. Sarah was a lifeline for me at the very last minute and I will definitely reach out to her again thank you, Sarah.

If any interested clients prefer to contact me directly regarding availability, I do my best to be very timely in responding to messages.

It is very important to me that I know the needs of any pet as much as possible in advance, which could range from their basic feeding instructions to any specialty care steps. I would request that any pet parent make their pet's needs and/or routine clear to me either when we are communicating beforehand, through an in-person discussion, or as a written/printed note left for me in the home for once I arrive there. I will likely ask for this again when a booking is being arranged, but it doesn't need to be anything more than their basic needs or any personality concerns. Thank you!
