Safety, trust & environment

I know how important trust is when it comes to someone caring for your pets, because my own babies are my entire world too. I believe building a bond with each pet is just as important as meeting their physical needs, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pets with patience, attention, and kindness while keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

Information Sarah M. would like to know about your pet

I think the most important thing is understanding each pet’s unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I’d love to know about their energy level, favorite activities, triggers or fears, feeding schedule, medical needs, quirks, and anything that helps them feel safe and comfortable. Building trust with both pets and owners is very important to me, and I want every visit to feel as stress-free and positive as possible.

A typical day

I believe every pet is different, so I like to do what’s best for each individual pup or kitty based on their personality, comfort level, and needs. Some pets love playtime and enrichment activities, while others prefer cuddles, calm companionship, or yard playtime. My goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Pet care experience

I currently work as a supervisor at a doggy daycare and have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. I also have personal experience caring for special needs and mobility-impaired dogs, including medication administration and bladder expression. Animals are truly my passion, and I treat every pet like family.

Sarah has always had an incredible connection with animals, especially dogs with special needs. She is patient, responsible, attentive, and truly treats every animal like family. Watching her care for her own dogs, including paraplegic dogs that require extensive care, has shown me just how dedicated and compassionate she is. Any pet in her care will be loved, safe, and treated like one of her own.

Sarah is one of the best people I know! Her care and knowledge is more than anyone could ask! She is the first person I go to if I need help with my pups. Couldn’t ask for anyone more caring then her.
