Pet care experience

Pet Buddy

Hello. Thanks for considering me to love on your pets. If you trust me with your pet, you can expect that I will love and care for your pet like I have for my own pets the last 7 years. During the school year, I’m available around 4PM almost every weekday and almost all day on the weekends. In the summer months, I am available almost all day. I have experience with high strung dogs since I owned one and since my parents now own another one. I trained my high-strung dog to walk better for me. I also have experience with my two cats, who each have unique personalities and different needs. I’ve spent time caring for my family’s and friends’ dogs and cats while they were away. I’ve done basic care for chickens and rabbits for my family and friends as well. I look forward to spending time loving your animals and serving you. Thank you for your interest.

Sarah was very conscientious during her time spent caring for my older cat. She included lots of pix and videos, and her notes were thorough each day. I definitely hope to engage her services again on another occasion.

We had Sarah for our dog overnight. She is terrific. She follows through on everything she says she is going to do and very trustworthy. We felt great about leaving our pet with her and will certainly use he again.

Sarah did a wonderful job as always. I love that she thinks of details like leaving a bowl of water out in case the electricity went out during the winter storm and the water fountain stopped working. I will call on Sarah again to watch our cats😊

What an awesome sitter for our fur babies! They love her and she obviously cares a lot for them, ensuring their safety and comfort as well as updating us daily-with pix!-in how they are doing. Highly recommend Sarah!!
