Animal lover here to help!

Pet care experience

I grew up with pet cats and am very familiar with the many different personalities of them. I volunteered at my local humane society in high school, and would frequently cat-sit and walk neighbor’s dogs. I absolutely adore animals, and enjoy getting to know each animal’s own unique personality. Ultimately, the animal’s safety, comfort, and happiness is of upmost importance to me.

Sarah is fantastic. My cat is very timid and scared and he comes out for her. I’ve booked with Sarah multiple times now and will continue to do so!

Sarah was great with our cat, and she even brought in some packages that arrived while we were away. I would definitely book with her again!
