Safety, trust & environment
I take safety very seriously. I keep doors locked behind me unless told otherwise. I make sure if we’re going outside that the leash/harness is secure, and I don’t allow other people or pets to approach us on walks for safety. I’m Fear Free certified which means I’ve taken courses on body language and how to interact with dogs specifically.
Information Sarah M. would like to know about your pet
I've pet sat for both young and older dogs/cats. I understand that a lot of older pets have special needs, may need more potty-breaks, have difficulty moving around, or need to be fed medication or a special blend of food. Whatever your animal's age or specific needs are, I am happy to do it! I want your pet to be as comfortable and happy as possible, so I do understand the importance of keeping them on a consistent routine.
A typical day
I'll be sure to let your dog out according to their typical daily routine. I also make sure to give the dog plenty of one-on-one time if he/she seems to enjoy playing around and belly rubs. I'm very patient and as gentle as possible with all pets, rest assured they are in good hands and getting their needs met :)

Pet care experience
I’ve been pet sitting dogs, cats, and small exotic pets for over a decade! I initially gained professional dog-handling experience from dog daycares/kennels. Then I became a vet tech and have worked in emergency care as well as general practice for a few years. I love taking care of pets in their own homes and do whatever I can to keep your pet on their normal routine while you’re gone! I'm comfortable with canines, felines, small animals, old, young, and everyone in between! Let me come care for your pets in the comfort of their own space, I will love them like they are my own.
Cat care experience
Sarah also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Sarah was great with our cat Mushu while we were out of town! Communicated as necessary, sent daily pictures and updates! Would recommend Sarah as a sitter and will use her for future trips!
Sarah is the very best!!!!!! We loved having her watch our cats and will definitely be booking with her again. She has great cat energy and our two boys love her. We have a litter robot and automatic pet feeder, so we really just wanted someone to check in every couple of days while we were out of the country with no cell service for over a week on our honeymoon. Sarah noticed that one of our cats messed with the feeder machine and it looked like it wasn't dispensing food the right way. Sarah went out of her way to do extra visits to make sure that the cats had food. 10/10, she also helped water my patio garden plants while we were away
Sarah took great care of my dog! She dropped into my house a several times a day while I was out of town and constantly gave me updates and pictures! I could tell my dog was super happy!!
I loved that Sarah took care of my dog, she sent me lot of pictures and gave me details of how was it going. She was always available and flexible with pick up and drop off and that’s something to be appreciate. Thank you again!
