Highlights
Pet care experience
passionate about animals 🐾
Dedicated to providing personalized, loving care for pets, I focus on building trusting bonds and tailoring activities to each animal’s needs to ensure they have joyful experiences and give their owners peace of mind. ❤️ Although my own pets have passed the rainbow bridge — my beloved Labrador Retriever at 13½ years and my cat at 15 — my passion for spending quality time with animals remains strong. I’m eager for opportunities to be around pets again and give them the attention, care, and affection they deserve. I’m responsible, attentive, and familiar with safe, enjoyable outdoor time. My building has a dog park, and I also enjoy walking around Merriweather — perfect for exercise, play, and socialization.

Ratings and reviews
Wonderful sitter! Sarah provided many updates to let me know how my anxious baby was doing. She helped feed her since my dog often goes on a hunger strike when we leave her. Highly recommend!!
Sarah was amazing with Ozzy! He had an unexpected sore spot days before his boarding, she took it in stride, applied medication and made sure he didn’t mess with it. She provided daily updates with photos and videos and texts on how he was doing. My only hesitation with leaving a 5star review is that she’ll be booked the next time we need a sitter! Thank you Sarah!!
Sarah is the best! So communicative and attentive. Stanley loved hanging with her!
Sarah was available on very short notice as our plans changed. She was extremely flexible and was able to help us out. Our dog loves her and it is always worry free when dropping him off with Sarah.
Sarah was great! She gave extra special care to my dog and he came back well rested and happy. She went above and beyond interacting with him and even helped with some suggestions on some of his issues. Overall, she responded quickly and took excellent care of our pet.
Sarah is a wonderful, loving dog mom. She has raised her pup Molly from 8 weeks to 13 years old, giving her plenty of experience with dogs of all ages. Growing up with dogs, along with raising her own, has proven time and time again that dogs aren’t just pets to Sarah, but very close members of the family. She would be a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a sitter or walker.

Schedule
Pet care blends into my daily routine. Working from home grants me flexibility to accommodate pets' needs, ensuring I can adjust for any unexpected calls.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In both my home and yours, attention to detail is crucial. Whether caring for my two elderly pets or yours, I treat them as family, ensuring personalized care and comfort
A typical day
A typical day with me starts with calm morning time, cuddles, and fresh water, followed by frequent walks and outdoor play tailored to each pet’s energy level. Because I work from home, your pets will get plenty of attention, interactive play, and social interaction throughout the day. We’ll enjoy walks at the nearby dog park or around Merriweather, and I’ll take breaks to give pets one‑on‑one time, snuggles, and mental engagement. My goal is to keep them happy, exercised, and comforted while their owners are away.

- It’s important to me to know how your dog behaves in unfamiliar places and if there’s anything you use to help them feel calm or comfortable, like a favorite toy or routine. I’d also love to understand any triggers or behaviors I should watch out for so I can avoid stress and keep them safe. Please let me know how they do on walks, including leash manners and energy level. I’m also curious about how they interact with other animals or pets so I can plan outings that suit their personality. Knowing these details helps me support their comfort and confidence while you’re away.
