Safety, trust & environment

If I watch your pet at your home, I always use a leash unless you ask me not to. I work hard to follow your pet’s routines and your rules.

Information Sarah M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog or cat has certain behaviors or preferences ahead of time. Please leave me a detailed schedule to let me know exactly what your pets are used to so that I can help alleviate any stress.

A typical day

I like to spend time enriching your dogs or cats. I believe animals need enrichment to be content, so I like to spend time engaging them mentally through play, talking to them, giving them games to play, or taking them on walks. I usually ask you what you would like me to do with them to keep them on their schedule and less anxious about your absence.

Pet care experience

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.

As usual, Sarah has been wonderful for our pups. So glad we have a great comfort level when we travel that our dogs are taken care of so wonderfully.

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.
