Safety, trust & environment

I try to make the dog or cat as comfortable as possible when I’m there! Lots of love and pets. I will also follow instructions given about how their animals act around others! Safety is my priority:)

Information Sarah M. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences. I would like to know if the dog has separation issues, anxiety, or gets scared easily. I would also like to know if the dog is friendly with other dogs because I have a dog and would need to know if they get along. If they did not I would keep them separated.

A typical day

We would go on walks around the neighborhood or maybe a nearby park. I love taking my dog to the dog park and maybe that could be a possibility if the owner would allow it. If the dog likes to play catch we could do that because I have a vey big yard to play in! Lots of cuddles and scratches !

Pet care experience

hello! My name is Sarah and I’m probably more of an animal person than a people person. Pets are my whole life! I have 3 dogs and 4 cats of my own. I know how important it is to have your pet cared for while you are away. I will make sure they are cared for like they are my own. I will always follow your instructions and provide tons of updates with videos and photos.

Sarah is incredible and if you have the chance to book her, you will not regret it! She’s beyond reliable and absolutely understands pets and pet care. I’ve never felt as confident with a pet sitter as I do with her. Whether it’s house sitting or drop-ins, she goes above and beyond. If you’re wondering if she’s the right fit— just book it! You won’t find better!

Sarah has been absolutely amazing! I’ve booked with her three times now, and Xena absolutely adores her. She always sends plenty of photos and videos, along with thoughtful updates, which I truly appreciate. Sarah has also been incredibly accommodating, even stepping in last minute when I had to go out of town. I feel completely at ease knowing Xena is in such great hands. I will definitely continue booking with Sarah and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you again, Sarah! ☺️

Sarah took care of Piper and Emma for me again. When Sarah sits for them I have no worries at all. She walks them, plays with them, sends videos and pictures to let me know how they are doing. I highly recommend Sarah. She is the best!!

If you are looking for a sitter that you can truly trust, you should stop now. Sarah is absolutely wonderful! She has sat for us a couple times now, including a long stay of about of a month in our home. She was so responsive and provided wonderful feedback throughout our trips! She is clearly in tune with animals and can understand and properly interpret their unique ways of communicating. She is independent and responsible, which so much worry off of our shoulders. Thanks to her, we have confidence that when we are away, our home and fur baby are in kind and competent hands.
