Pet care experience

A walkin, talkin, playin good time!

I've been an animal lover my whole life. I've loved and cared for cat and dog breeds of all ages and sizes, going back to age 12 when my piano teacher hired me to provide drop in visits to her two Bernese Mountain dogs and two senior cats. I'm experienced in bathing & nail trimming and have no problem sitting on the floor patiently brushing out cockleburs for an hour. I've had long and short hair cats, and have experience providing specific meal requirements and special accommodations, as well as administering medicine and insulin shots. I believe pets are an extension of the family and should be treated just as warmly <3 Pet safety is super important to me - I will fully respect and honor a client's wishes for whatever they need in terms of crate use, off limit areas, dietary restrictions, human and other animal interactions, etc. I'm always trying to learn more about specific breeds and their traits so I can provide the best love and attention possible. I'm also happy to help with whatever you need while you're away - bringing the mail in, watering plants, taking the garbage out - just let me know! I have an almost 8 year old son who absolutely adores animals, so if the pets and their pet parents are comfortable with it, he comes along and provides even extra attention, playtime, and snuggles.

Safety, trust & environment

I don't currently offer boarding at my home, but when I do, my pets are all very friendly! When in the client's home, I'm very aware and conscious of keeping the surroundings as they were, and using only the rooms necessary to care for your pets. I always make sure doors/windows are closed and/or locked.

Sarah did a great job for me. She was prompt, took care of my cats and sent me some photos to let me know that all was well. Highly recommended.

Sarah was phenomenal! We met her the weekend before so she would get comfortable with the animals and they with her. Everything was great, the pets all seemed very happy :)

Sarah was amazing. She kept us updating on how our dog was doing. She send us pictures throughout the stay and was always quick to provide a response. If you want to take your dog to a place where you will have peace of mind, she is your girl!!

I have been lucky enough to have Sarah take care of my animals for many years when I am away. She just loves animals and keeping them happy. Excellent animal communication skills too.
