Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medication needs. I give pets plenty of love, attention, and exercise tailored to their energy level. I also keep the home tidy and secure, provide updates to the owner. My goal is to make sure their pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for until their return.

Information Sarah M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behavioral quirks I should be aware of. If there is anything else you would like to share, don’t hesitate to reach out.

A typical day

I tailor fun activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. That might include long walks, fetch, puzzle toys, tug-of-war, or just some relaxed cuddle time. For high-energy dogs, I can incorporate play sessions, training games, or mental stimulation to keep them engaged. For older pets or those who prefer a slower pace, I provide gentle walks and lots of comforting attention. My goal is to keep your pet happy, active, and feeling loved while you're away!

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Sarah! I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic working dogs to laid-back seniors, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. I mainly have experience with cats, dogs and bunnies but I am open to working with all species. I have a dog of my own and truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, medication, or just some extra TLC, I’m here to help. I treat every animal like my own and can send regular photos and update check-ins if requested. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet!

Excellent communication from Sarah always! She always goes the extra mile for Winnie! She even noticed her water bowl was low and filled it up while she was over! Thank you so much Sarah!

Sarah sent great updates and photos during every visit. The boys were excited to see her everyday and made traveling much easier because I didn’t have to worry about them! :)
