Pet care experience
There is nothing better than getting to meet and cuddle new pets and caring for someone’s animal like your own. I’ve been pet sitting for several years and understand how nervous owners can be to leave their fur babies. It’s why I try to provide superb service for my clients and especially their animals. I try to act as the owner and follower their pets routine while house sitting or provide a comfortable and welcoming environment if I’m boarding. For me it’s paramount that each owner feel at ease leaving their pets in my care. I do this by keeping them updated each day with pictures, videos and reports on how their pet days is going. We have two chocolate labs, Molly and Callie, who couldn’t be more spoiled and a kitty who is use to new pups and spends most her time outside. We live on the Puyallup River so our mornings are spent chasing the ball or playing with their favorite toys on our acre of property. I have a fully 8ft fenced yard and our house is on a private road with plenty of land. I work from home for the foreseeable future so our dogs get a lot of attention each day. Our dogs get their exercise in the morning first thing, have breakfast, play throughout the day and love picking up the kids in the afternoon at the bus stop. When you hire me, I promise to treat your pets as I would treat my own. I’ve very attentive and respectful of all instructions that are left for feeding, medication requirements and general practices. I encourage as much detail as you’d like to give and promote open lines of communication so you always know how things are going with your treasured pet. I work from home so doing a home stay or boarding isn't a problem. Our dogs enjoy a regular routine of play time and exercise outside especially when the summer is in full swing. If it’s fall/winter, and your dog enjoys the outdoors, sometimes we go for a short hike and explore the beautiful PNW. If I care for your pets in my home, they will be treated like they are my own. When I'm in your home I follow the same routine as you preform and all instructions are followed to encourage no separation anxiety some pets can feel. I like to adhere to all timelines and feeding schedules to make the visit seamless and earn your pets trust while you’re away.
Reviews
Sarah was very communicative throughout her stay with our pets. She even took amazing care of our home too. Will definitely use her again in the future!
Sarah was really good with our high energy dog and cats! We were nervous to leave them, but she was communicative, took lots of photos, and provided us with updates. We will be using her again in the future!
Was only our second time leaving our pup for a few nights and Sara made the process extremely easy and comfortable for us. She sent lots of updates, left the place just as we found it, and even cleaned prior to leaving. Highly recommended for house sitting!
Sarah did an excellent job with my two dogs and pet rabbit. She sent plenty of updates with photos each day. She was very communicative, professional, and she left the house clean too. I highly recommend Sarah.

Home
Information Sarah K. would like to know about your pet
If they are in my house: Their feeding schedule and if they do well eating with other dogs around and how they do with men. Do they do well off leash and any commands. Are they okay to be left alone? House Visit: How they do with others while their owners are away. If they need to be crated or their sleeping preference. Do they do well off leash and how long they can be left alone.
A typical day
Up at 5:30am for breakfast and carpool. I have a break between drop offs so that is when my dogs get some good sun time in then their breakfast before I do the final drop off. I’m home all day so the dogs have a chance to be in and out. Then around 3 we take them for a light walk to pick up the kids from the school bus. Dinner is around 6pm then a light walk in the evening to wind them down.
