Pet care experience
Extremely Flexible & Pet-Obsessed
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 🐾

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!).
Ratings and reviews
Sarah was a life saver!! The day I had to leave for NH my babysitter had to bail, I scrambled to find someone to care for my sweet little lady Penny 🐈 and Sarah came that SAME afternoon to drop in and take care of her for us. Amazing! Penny takes a long while to warm up to people, but within a few days she was giving Sarah head bumps, which really proves that Sarah has great vibes!! I’m so relieved and thankful! 😌 💜
Sarah was super accomodating for a last minute trip. She’s very responsive and takes care of your pets like her own!
Sarah was amazing with my girl!! 🐱 would highly recommend! She even came a day early to learn about my cat’s feeding schedules etc. I will definitely be using her in the future!!
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!

Schedule
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!
