I walk with the dogs in the yard and play ball if they like to. I leash them if the yard isn’t fenced or put them on a run if available. I can let out cats if needed. I sit with animals inside to play, pet, and comfort while humans are away.

Information Sarah M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you’re dog is a known puller on walks. I typically will be okay but if they are on the larger size I’d like to be prepared.

A typical day

On a typical stay we will go for a walk around the neighborhood or outside to play, depending on your request and animals routine. We can play inside the house or cuddle up on the couch. I’ll follow your feeding routine and give them treats (if allowed)

Pets

Love to take care of furbabies

Pet care experience

I’ve helped take care of and train my family dogs/Personal pets since I was 10. Breeds of pinscher family, German Shepard, rotties, and labs. I have recused 2 colony cats; bottle fed and weaned them to dry/wet food. Litter trained 4 cats. Comfortable with inside/outside cats. I am comfortable with other animals as well. I’ve cared for bunnies, hamsters, sugar gliders, ferrets, bearded dragons, and fish. If you have another type of baby I’m sure I’d be open to discuss caring for them ☺️

Sarah was fantastic. Very flexible with drop off and pick up. Would recommend her for dog sitting!

Sarah really stepped up for us when our regular sitter had to cancel last minute. With only a couple days notice, she was able to accommodate our 4-day dog-sitting needs. Our puppy seemed to do well during her stay. Sarah sent us pictures a couple times during puppy's stay. She seem content with the stay.

Sarah has been an exceptional help when going out of town for more than a few days. All three cats have become comfortable with her around fairly quickly. I will continue to have Sarah drop in to care for my cats when I'm out of town. It's very comforting to know that someone will come by to give some attention to the little furballs and make sure they are doing well.
