Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m home often and can easily build my day around the pets I’m caring for. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening routines, I love creating a rhythm that matches each pet’s needs. Since I already care for my own dogs and cat daily, adding extra walks, snuggles, or playtime for clients’ pets feels like second nature — and always a joy!

Safety, trust & environment

In a client’s home, I strive to maintain the routines and environment your pet is most comfortable with — whether that means sticking to preferred walking paths, specific mealtime rituals, or favorite nap spots. I follow feeding routines, administer medication or supplements if needed, and make sure each pet receives individual attention and care. I’m mindful, clean, respectful of your space, and always leave things as I found them (if not better!).

Information Sarah K. would like to know about your pet

• Allergies • Special needs / health history • Well-socialized / friendly with other animals or not • Eating schedule, habits and preferences (including amounts, medications, supplements, vitamins, treats, etc.) • General activity level • Any dislikes, fears, things to avoid

A typical day

It all depends on the pet’s personality! For high-energy pups, I love going on long walks, nature hikes/walks, playing fetch, visiting parks, or having structured play sessions. For older or more mellow pets, I’m happy to provide cozy cuddle time, gentle strolls, or enrichment games like treat puzzles or scent tracking. I also enjoy capturing fun, candid pet photos during our time together (with your permission, of course!) so you can see all the happy moments while you’re away.

Extremely Flexible & Pet-Obsessed

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Sarah — a lifelong animal lover currently based in Fairfield County, CT. I currently work remotely, which means my schedule is super flexible — I’m available when you need me, whether it’s for daily walks, weekend stays, or last-minute drop-ins. I’ve been caring for animals my entire life — dogs, cats, horses, goats… you name it. Today, I share my home with two dogs and one very confident cat (who’s pretty sure she’s a dog too). Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds — from Border Collies, Shepards, Labs and Pit Bulls to Bulldogs, Hounds, and Chow Chows — each with their own personality, preferences, and needs. I’m comfortable supporting pets with special diets, health conditions, mobility challenges, and unique temperaments. Some highlights of my experience: • Multi-pet household care • Senior & special needs animal support • Emotional Support Animal (ESA) training experience • Familiar with natural remedies & holistic approaches • Maker of custom, all-natural dog treats • Professional pet photographer — your furry friend will get plenty of cute candids! Whether your pet needs a cozy companion while you’re away or an active buddy for long walks and playtime, I’ll show up with kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care. I treat every animal as if they’re my own — because I know how important it is to feel peace of mind when someone else is looking after your beloved companion. I’d love to meet you and your pet(s) — let’s chat and see if it’s a good fit! — Sarah 🐾

Sarah was so wonderful with Kimbo! She kept us updated the whole time and always made us feel reassured that he was in great hands. She was punctual, reliable, and genuinely caring. You can tell she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. We really appreciated all the communication and attention she gave Kimbo. Highly recommend her! We would absolutely trust her again!

Sarah was great taking care of my 2 cats. I also had an unexpected family emergency and she was able to do a few extra visits last minute. She was truly a lifesaver when I was dealing with a difficult time and I’m very grateful for her kindness and flexibility to ensure my cats were taken care of.

My cats got great care! They were happy to see me but not anxious or stressed. I got pictures and great communication. Thanks again!

Sarah did a great job caring for our two cats! She was responsive to texts and requests and we loved seeing the pictures of them while we were away. Sarah was also great with giving one of our cats his medicine. We would hire her again!
