Caring cat lover!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Sarah-Jane Clarke. I am an animal loving Software Engineer living in NYC! I just graduated this May from NYU. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats throughout high school and college for my relatives and friends. I have experience feeding, taking on walks, and playing with pets. I am always sure to make any pet feel comfortable and safe while they are separated from their owners. At home in Connecticut, my parents have an almost 2 year old cat named Valley who I take care of while I am home for winter and summer breaks. From this experience I have grown to love cats and feel comfortable feeding, playing with, and cleaning cats litter. I love being around cats and making them feel happy and loved!!! I also had a yellow lab for 12 years and was always helping take care of him and take him on walks throughout my childhood. I have taken care of small dogs as well as larger ones and multiple cats at one time. I would be very excited to help you out by caring for your pet!

Sarah was awesome with Queen. I came back with Queen looking shiny and healthy, the apartment smelling nice, and received the cutest pictures along the way. I will definitely request to book Sarah again for a future trip.

Sarah-Jane is an amazing cat sitter! She’s is very responsible and caring. I got many photo updates of my cat after her daily visits. And my cat always seemed so comfortable and happy with her! My cat sneezed a lot before I left, and he was still on meds. Sarah-Jane is great at giving him meds. When I came back he seemed completely healthy! Most importantly, she is very patient! My cat always had litter box issue and it takes a lot of time to clean his mess…Sarah-Jane did all the cleaning that I didn’t need to worry about after I got home. I will highly recommend Sarah-Jane as a cat caregiver!

I recommend Sarah-Jane as a dog caregiver because she loves dogs and any kinds of pets. Ever since she was very young she has fed neighbors dogs and cats when the owners were away or on vacation . She has a loving and caring heart that connects with dogs and other animals. She has a sense for their feelings and loves to make sure they are happy and content. I am a confident that she will be responsible and take care of any dogs that are under her care.

I am always sure to leave the client’s home as they left it (or cleaner!) and with a happy pet. I will be sure to follow the instructions the owner gives me.

A typical day

I love playing with dogs and cats and getting them moving and happy! Keeping pets happy while there owners are away is important and I believe movement and fun is the way to do that. One of my favorite park to bring dogs to in NYC is Central Park, but a park closer to my apartment is Washington Square Park which is so nice to walk around with any pet and is a great way for them to explore a new environment. I want to highlight that I am always extra careful when walking any pet around New York City. There are a lot of distractions for animals and it is important to keep them close to you and hold tight to their leash at all moments. I also like to keep away from particularly busy areas that may be too stimulating or dangerous for them. When catsitting, I am happy to play with the cats and make them feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I am sure to thoroughly clean the litter and fill the water and food bowls. I love finding the toys that the cat finds most exciting and playing with them!
