Information Sarah M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors to consider. My arms are open for small to large breed dogs, while on walks I prefer only one large dog at a time.

I go on daily walks around my neighborhood and enjoy ventures to nearby parks as well. I am an avid snuggler who also enjoys fetch and play time for my high energy friends.

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Sarah. I am currently a stay at home Mom and student in a family of dog lovers. For 25 years I worked with children and throughout all of my life, I have cared for pets. I adore animals and do my best to meet them where they are at. I have 2 of my own with very different needs-from a 18 year old senior to an energetic rescue who came with her triggers. My goal is to support you and your pet however I can, with their safety and comfort my priority. I will do my best to support your pet’s rules and routines in your home and about. I am happy to help with various tasks as needed (walking, bathing, feeding, training, medications, and most importantly, playtime :)

Sarah was absolutely amazing. She is such a kind, gentle, and thoughtful person, and our cats really warmed up to her. One of our cats is extremely shy and usually takes a long time to trust new people, but Sarah did such an incredible job being patient and calm with her. By the end, even our shy little girl was comfortable. Our house sitting setup is honestly a bit chaotic right now. We have cats needing to stay in different rooms, doors that always need to stay closed, feeding schedules in different spots, and a general “musical chairs” situation happening at all times, so we are definitely not the easiest household to manage. Sarah handled all of it flawlessly. She sent pictures every single day, communicated wonderfully, and always gave a little synopsis of how things were going, which I appreciated so much. I had zero anxiety being out of town knowing Sarah was taking care of our kitties. That peace of mind is priceless. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, reliable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with animals.

Always takes the best care of our cats. I never worry about them when I’m gone.

Sarah was wonderful. Super communicative and I felt like she genuinely enjoyed her time with my pup. I will definitely use her again. Thank you!
