All about your animals! 🐾
Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Sarah and I've been looking after animals for around 15 years. I started pet sitting at 10, helping neighbors and friends while they were on vacation. This included feeding and walking their pets as well as making sure they got some love while their owners were out of town. I love animals but sadly can't have any more in my apartment so my main services are check ins and walks! I grew up with a black Labrador so I know how important exercise is in a pet's routine and for their well-being. I welcome the opportunity to get to know and look after your fur babies!
Reviews
Sarah was very sweet with Phoebe
Sarah took care of our cat and dog for the evening. Both of them love her! She did a great job with them, is excellent at communication, and took some great pictures. We would definitely hire her again!
Sarah is absolutely wonderful! Flexible with setting up the meet-n-greet, as well as last minute changes to time (and day) of scheduled drop in. Well-liked even by my timid and shy pound puppy!
Sarah is amazing with furry friends of all kinds! She’s the first of my friends that I ask to look after my pets (1 dog and 2 cats) because she’s so loving and attentive to them and they’re always excited to see her. I know I can trust her to really look after them because I know she enjoys spending time with them and caring for them.

Safety, trust & environment
I understand feeling your home and pet are safe while you are away is paramount. I will be respectful of your space and make sure to spend quality time with your pet while looking after them.
Information Sarah K. would like to know about your pet
It's great for me to know what their usual routine with you is ahead of time so I can stick to that. Definitely interested in meeting your pet beforehand to know what their personality is would be ideal. Understanding their comfort level with other dogs and strangers is a must Knowing their food and bathroom habits and little dog idiosyncracies would also be great.
A typical day
A day with dogs will start off with some morning cuddles before their feeding time. Then it's out the door for a nice walk with time for them to to their business, and maybe meet some other dogs along the way. Then back home for either a well deserved nap or some quality time. A bathroom break in the afternoon if that's normal routine and then dinner and another chance to go out before bed (including a longer walk if your dog needs) before setting down to bed.
