Pet care experience

Pet Care Extraordinaire!

Hello and thanks for stopping by! I’m Sarah and would love to take care of your furry friends! 
I love all animals. I have had a life time of experience with beautiful critters, having grown up caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and more. I have taken care of countless pups and cats over many decades; safety and love have always been paramount when animals are in my care. I am currently offering the following services: boarding in your home, dog walking and home visits 😊 I have experience with a wide variety of pups (and kitties) from 5lb chihuahuas to a large Italian mastiff! I am comfortable with medication administration, exercise, senior dog/kitty care and any special needs or requests. In addition, I, of course, will take immaculate care of your home while pet sitting. 
I am all about learning the routine of your pup(s) and/or kitty(ies) so you can travel or be work stress free. I will take daily pictures/videos of your pets with detailed updates. I’m happy to set up a meet and greet at your convenience. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends. Numerous references available upon request. Some examples of pet care jobs I have done are: for a cat named Kona. A kind and curious fellow on the island of St John, USVI. As well as caring for Kona, I managed the owners home, property, and vehicles. Kona and I loved cuddling on the porch in the cool island breeze together! Another, Annabelle, a large Italian Mastiff. She loved going on long walks by the river near her home in Connecticut. She also loved chewing on special bones I was permitted by her owner to give her. She required a weekly bath/shower which was messy but fun! A third example are Gracie and Monti, both medium sized rescues. Gracie had a lot of energy and walking was a must sometimes several times a day. She and I would go on long walks on trails and she enjoyed wading in water to cool off after a long walk. Monti on the other hand was a dignified little fellow. He was one to stop and smell the roses and everything along the way :) Monti had back surgery so needed to be lifted in and out of car and needed to be monitored so as to not jump up and re-injure his spine. Lastly, Jet Jet was a frisky rescue cat. He loved to play and cuddle and roll in fresh cat nip! I have cared for many more pets and their owners homes. Looking forward to hearing from you! xo, Sarah

Safety, trust & environment

I follow instructions as to what you, the pet owner, would like done while I am with your pet. I can be reached by phone when I am walking, feeding, or cuddling with your dog or cat. I am excellent at following what protocol you have outlined for your pet. Safety and love are paramount when I am caring for your pet.

Sarah is one of the only people we trust to take care of our two dogs and three cats. She’s great with animals and they all love her. Our shy cat, Yoshi, hides when anyone comes to our house but he loves Sarah and runs to greet her. She’s great about walking the dogs safely, and takes our more active dog on long walks which she loves. Sarah is great about following exact directions if you prefer that things are done a certain way, but she’s also experienced and knows what to do. She’s great with communication and keeps us informed, and keeps everything clean, tidy, and organized. We can’t recommend her enough!

Sarah took good care of my dog. She was reliable and showed up on time. She really cares for her pets and enjoys working with them.

A++ and 5 stars for sure!! I felt totally confident having Sarah in my home to watch our sweet 8 year old Diesel pup, and 7 year old kitty, Lucy. Sarah is also now doing daily dog walking for us and Diesel is trimming down with Sarah's help! I trust her entirely. She has taken immaculate care of our pets (and home) and they love her. :) I always come home to relaxed, happy pets. She knows how much we miss our animals when we are away as she sends daily photos and videos. I highly recommend Sarah to others as I know she'll do a great job for you. Thank you ,Sarah. I'm so grateful to have found you!!

It is important for me to know if your pet : 1) Has special or medical needs. 2) Do they get along with other dogs. What is their temperment. What current strategies are being used if dog is reactive with other dogs. 3) Food schedule 4) In general what their breed is. Okay, if not known also. 5) What activities they enjoy. 6) Any details are helpful
