Pet care experience
GIVE ME THE BABIES
INTRO: I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs through daily walks, drop-ins, and longer stays — from high-energy breeds to shy or anxious pups who need a softer approach. I’m very attentive to details, routines, and behavior changes, and I always make sure each dog feels safe and understood.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I follow the pet’s routine exactly as the owner lays it out. Every dog is different, so I match their needs — feeding schedule, walk times, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions. I keep the home clean, make sure doors and crates are secured, and always double-check leashes, harnesses, and gates before we go out. I pay close attention to behavior and energy levels, especially with anxious dogs or seniors, and I give them plenty of reassurance and calm company. I send updates and photos during each visit so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is to make the pet feel safe in their own space and keep everything running smoothly until their family comes home.
Ratings and reviews
Sarah is fantastic! We adopted a special needs 4 year old Goldendoodle who suffers from extreme separation anxiety. We had a 2 week trip planned when we hired Sarah to stay at our home to care for our dog. We had Sarah come to our home a couple times to get to know Bella before our upcoming trip and saw that she was very relaxed and loving towards Bella. Although we were a bit concerned leaving Bella, we felt that she was in good hands with Sarah and it turned out that we were spot on! Sarah knew how to handle Bella and gave her all the care and love she needed! While we were gone, Sarah updated us with text messages and pictures of Bella every day which we absolutely loved and greatly appreciated! When we came home and Sarah was about to leave, Bella appeared ready to leave with her!!! We most definitely will use Sarah for all of our get-away trips and highly recommend her!!!! She’s wonderful!!!
Sarah took such great care of Ralphie and went above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable while I was away. It was so comforting to know he was in such good hands. 10/10 recommend!
Sarah M helped me out when I needed a sitter on short notice. Sarah was very flexible and communicative. A lifesaver!
Sarah was fantastic watching our pups while we were on vacation!! Highly recommend!
This is the second time Sarah has pet sat for us, and both times she took great care of our dog and our cat, and left our house immaculate. We will definitely be using her again in the future!
Sarah did a really good job of walking my dog.

Schedule
My weekly routine is very flexible, which makes pet care easy to build around. I split my time between volunteer work, errands, and studying at the library, and I schedule those things around my pet visits. When I’m doing dog-sitting, I structure my day around the dog’s routine — feeding, bathroom breaks, playtime, and whatever helps them feel comfortable. I’m used to adjusting my schedule so pets get the consistency and care they’re used to. Their routine becomes my routine.
