🐾 Pawparazzi Pics, Love & Respect

I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Caring for animals isn’t just something I do it’s something I genuinely love. One of my favorite things is when you have a timid animal finally feel safe with you. It's the BEST ever and patience is key! I currently have three Australian shepherd dogs and I am a mom of 7 children, nurturing and caring for others comes naturally to me. I am VERY big on being respectful to animals and have taught my kids that as well. I was an only child growing up and my pets were who I hung out with most. Over the years I’ve shared my life with all kinds of animals, including cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, a snake, birds and even a duck named Prince Charming. I truly enjoy caring for animals of all kinds and love getting to know their unique personalities. I’m a bit of a dog breed enthusiast I did a lot of research picking a breed of dog to fit our family when getting our Australian shepherds. I find it interesting how different each breed of dog and cat can be. I love watching the dog show to see who wins best in show and learning from the commentary they give about each breeds temperment and personalities. I’m also known among friends for helping reunite lost dogs with their families nothing makes me happier than seeing lost pets safely back at home. I have reunited countless amounts of dogs and have paw patrol saved in my phone. I've also fostered both cats and dogs. When you choose me, you’re not just getting one animal lover, you’re getting a whole family of pet lovers who will treat your pets like part of our own family. Whether you have dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, hamsters, goats, or other beloved companions, you can feel confident they’ll receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. You can call me a Pawparazzi because I love sending lots of pictures and updates. I know how hard it is to be away from your furbaby. You and your pet’s comfort, safety and happiness are always my top priorities!

Gizmo is a very picky little old dog, but Sarah was so patient with him.

Sarah did a great job looking after my cat when I was out of town for two weeks. She gave him personal attention and kept him active while I was away.

Thank you so much for watching Tiger while I'm away. I read every one of your daily updates. I really appreciate you keeping him active by having him hunt down hidden treats.

Sarah was just awesome with our kitties. She was determined to make friends with them and succeeded beautifully. She was always right on schedule, gave them treats and affection, and even brushed them after they got over their initial shyness. Sarah is just the best!

I want to first start by letting you know, I am Sarah McDuffie’s husband. As my wife, I have seen Sarah in action daily and she is the most compassionate person I’ve ever met. Being the mother of 7 children she is constantly looking out for the well being of our children and others. In the 23 years we have been together I can’t tell you how many times she’s found stray dogs on the street and if they didn’t have any information as to their owner she was able to track down the owner using her many pet groups to help. She loves caring for animals and is a natural at gaining their trust to help them. She is so good with our pets and other people pets that I’ve told her she should consider opening up a place for people to board their pets because she would make sure they were taken care of and well attended to. If you need someone to help take of your beloved pet and wouldn’t hire anyone other than Sarah. Thank you Michael McDuffie
