Availability
I work full time from home. I'm generally available any time on weekends and flexible even for emergency needs/check ins. For drop ins, I’m usually able to schedule them around my work commitments so I will let you know if there are certain times that do/don’t work.

About Sarah K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When doing drop-ins/overnights in clients' homes, I make sure to spend time gaining trust with the pets I'm caring for, plus I like to ask questions to get to know what their specific pets like and expect so that I'm able to make them feel like they're living as much of a regular day as possible. I am respectful of the home and any house rules, am not someone who snoops, and am happy to do things like putting away a grocery delivery or sign for packages if you have those needs while you're away.
Information Sarah K. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog needs meds administered and what schedule they’re on. I am familiar with senior pet care, as well, and am happy to meet them where they’re at in terms of affection and attention.
A typical day
When out on walks, I am happy to let dogs take in all the neighborhood smells (and can easily keep them away from people/other pets if they don’t do well with them). I love to make use of their favorite toys at home and reward them with treats if that is part of their routine! I'd call myself a pro at fetch and tug-of-war.

Sarah K. has Star Sitter status
The Star Sitter programme highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet owners to find the best care for their pets.
I’m also known as Snow White 🍎🐰🐇
Pet care experience
I spent my childhood helping with all of our rescues and fosters, working with animal welfare organizations that my grandmother founded in my home region, and helping distribute spay/neuter vouchers. 🥰 I’m most familiar caring for cats and dogs (including kittens and puppies), but have also cared for birds and bunnies. Reading their body language is like second nature for me and my friends/family have commented on how animals seem to have an affinity for me.
Cat care experience
Sarah also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Sarah took good care of our cat, Yutou! She gave a lot of love to him when we are away. We appreciate it very much!
Sarah was an amazing cat sitter for us. From the meet and greet through the week, she had great communication. She quickly got our sometimes skeptical cat to trust her and provided photo updates. Would definitely recommend her to others!
Amazing cat sitter, got my scaredy cat to warm up to her immediately. She sent lots of updates and the cats loved her!
Sarah was absolutely amazing with Blue! She started by asking all the right questions during the meet and greet. Then, during her in-house stay with Blue, she was communicative, sent great updates, and seemed to genuinely enjoying hanging out with Blue. I would 100% recommend Sarah, and plan to rebook the next time I need a dogsitter!
