Safety, trust & environment

I believe that you know best for your pet and your home! I am here to make your life easier and ensure your furry family members are healthy, safe and happy. I try to leave every environment a little better than I found it, and that includes your home! Rest assured that any requests will be followed precisely and your space and belongings will be treated with the utmost respect.

Information Sarah L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special medical or environmental needs! I have plenty of experience with medicating animals or meeting specific needs, including my own pets. The comfort and well-being of your pet comes first!

A typical day

I know of a many walking/running trails in my area that dogs have loved to travel! I am willing to adjust any walk to the needs of the dog who is accompanying me. I also know how much pups love a good dog park, especially if there is a ball or other toy involved!

Over a decade of loving pet sitting

Pet care experience

I’m an animal lover and cat owner who will love your pets as if they were my own! My primary work is remote from Johnston, but my work schedule is extremely flexible. I am able to make my own schedule, which means I am able to care for your pet whenever they need some quality time! I also have experience with caring for pets that have a variety of medical needs, including injections (I have been trained by a vet to provide injections to my own cat). I strive to maintain pets’ routines and care, whatever their needs may be. I am comfortable learning about your pet’s health and how I can best support it while you are away! My goal is to treat each animal with the compassion, dignity and respect that I show to my own fur babies! (Note: pets with significant medical needs may require increased rates based on the level of care they require.) With more than 14 years of pet-sitting experience, I am confident I can fit your house-sitting or pet-sitting needs and keep your fur babies healthy and happy. I am comfortable with almost any pet you may need care for, and have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, fish, or other small animals.
