Availability
My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks so they can stay comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, daycare, and house sitting, depending on scheduling availability, and I make communication a priority by providing regular updates and photos during each visit or stay.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs to help reduce stress and keep pets comfortable. I believe trust and communication are extremely important, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout each stay or visit. I also take time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and any special instructions ahead of time so I can provide attentive, reliable care. Whether during walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I focus on creating a safe and positive experience for both pets and their owners.

Information Sarah M. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a pet, I like to know about their normal routine, personality, and any special needs so I can make them as comfortable as possible. Helpful information includes feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, allergies, favorite activities, and anything that may cause stress or anxiety. I also like to know how your pet interacts with other animals and people, any training commands they know, and any behaviors I should be aware of during walks, visits, or overnight stays. My goal is always to provide safe, attentive care while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent and comfortable as possible.
A typical day
A typical day with me includes plenty of attention, exercise, and regular updates so pets feel comfortable and owners feel informed. I try to keep each pet on their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and quiet time. For dogs, the day usually includes walks, outdoor breaks, play, and lots of supervision and companionship throughout the day. For cats, I make sure they have a calm environment, fresh food and water, litter box care, and attention based on their personality and comfort level. I provide photo and message updates during visits or stays, and I always focus on creating a safe, relaxed environment where pets can feel at home while their owners are away.

Pet care experience
I provide calm, reliable pet care with lots of communication and photo updates so owners can relax while they’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and enjoy keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I’m active, flexible with scheduling, and comfortable with walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, medications, and overnight care. Whether your pet loves long walks or just wants a calm companion, I try to match their personality and needs. I know how important trust and consistency are when someone is caring for your pet, so I focus on being responsive, dependable, and detail-oriented.

Reviews
I felt at ease leaving both of my pets with Sarah. She is very professional and communicated clearly and timely. She greeted my pets and I outside of her home and then gave us a tour of where my pets would spend time. She spent the time to allow my dog Roble to get acquainted with the space and other pets. She was very thorough in caring for my pets (i.e. feeding schedule, rest, petting and play time). I received plenty of updates as well. I will definitely utilize her services again!
Sarah was a wonderful pet sitter. She took excellent care of my dog and cat. She even dealt with a intruding racoon and she also watered my huge collection of plants. I really appreciated her hard work and care.
Sarah did a great job with Kit. She was attentive and took Kit out run and play with her dogs.
Sarah was attentive and sweet. I happen to have a pup who does really well off leash and loves running; they catered to that aspect allowing my dog to run often as well as explore to different locations they went to throughout the stay. I received pictures and videos and, to be completely honest, am trying to plan another vacation soon because pup enjoyed their time so much with Sarah. Thank you. I'm grateful to know there is now a person who I will be a 'regular' with.
