Dependable Support, Wherever Needed

I'm highly dependable & flexible. I work full time as an Executive Assistant to the CEO of a remote technology company. I've been a trusted petsitter for multiple families in New England for 20+ years and I'm often available at the last minute. I was previously a part-time family assistant for a prominent family of four, managing two properties while they traveled, running errands, planning family events, coordinating schedules and meals, etc.

Sarah was excellent! She took such great care of our dog as well as our home. She was responsive, communicative, and we could not be happier! Highly recommend

Sarah has been our dog sitter for a few years and is amazing! Our two dogs are obsessed with her. One of them is timid and anxious around new people but he quickly warmed up to Sarah and now they both get so happy when she arrives. She has done multiple days overnight and loves both dogs as if they were her own. She will even stop by just to say hi to them! Highly recommend Sarah.

I work remotely and have a lot of flexibility. I have a number of current clients who book me out far in advance (i.e. vacations) and others that reach out at the last minute when plans change/in an emergency.

I'd love to know what makes your pet the happiest, favorite treats, any allergies or medical conditions, and also anything that might instill anxiety or unhappiness - very important to be aware of.
