Easy going, flexible caretaker

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Sarah and I adore animals, I have had dogs, cats and horses all my life and I understand the importance of the love and care that they receive. I understand animals need love and affection from their caretakers but they also need structure in their life, and it is our job as their caretakers to give them that! I have experience with animals of all shapes and sizes from a litter of kittens, to a 200 lb English Mastiff! The proper handling and care of animals is important to me, and I strive to meet and exceed your expectations. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I work full time and this is a side gig for me to do outside of that job to still interact with animals and do what I love. I work from 7:30 to 2:30 on weekdays so I wouldn’t be able to do midday drop ins those days. I’m currently in a work environment where I can bring dogs with me to hang out and not stay at home during the day so that is a possibility. I like to keep your animals’ daily life consistent and similar to their life with you in terms of structure and I try my best to fit into their schedule, whether that’s walks, medications, meal times, etc.

Sarah was wonderful! She kept Koga engaged and included him in her day, even taking him to school with her where he got to meet her students! He loves nothing more than attention from people so what a treat for him! She was great about sending updates, photos, and videos. I highly recommend!

We were very pleased with our experience of boarding our dog Sasha for 1 week with Sarah. Sarah responded promptly every time we messaged her. She sent pictures and videos of Sasha throughout the week. She was very flexible about drop off and pick up. Most importantly, Sasha was happy and healthy when we brought her home! We would definitely board Sasha with Sarah again.

Sarah was great with Raven. She knew how to make the dog (and me!) feel comfortable with a new arrangement. Sarah set updates of activities and pictures! I would book with Sara again!
