Safety, trust & environment

I make sure that I am outside watching the pets in back yards to prevent escapes. If pets are prone to escaping, I will keep them on a leash in the backyard even if it is fenced. While walking, I will make sure dogs are kept at a distance of people or other dogs. For cats and other small animals as well as dogs, I open home doors slowly and make sure the pet is not near the door to prevent escaping.

Information Sarah P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you pets need any special assistance, medication, fears, and how they react to other animals or people. Knowing if pets are prone to escaping is very helpful as well.

A typical day

Hikes, fetch, and all kinds of fun that dogs love. I provide cats and other small animals a lot of snuggles and loves. Dogs will get their snuggles as well.

Dog, Cat, and Small Animal Care

Pet care experience

I provide one on one care to each dog, cat, and small animals in a family. They will receive a lot of walks, attention, and love. I can also give any medication needed. I will stay overnight with your pets and even let them sleep on the bed if that is allowed by you. I'm willing to drive your dogs to the vets should an emergency arrive. I have been petsitting for about 10 years independently. Right now I've been petsitting for a lot of greyhounds but I am willing to watch any dog. I also care for two rescue dogs as well. I will also watch your other pets and provide love for them as well, cats, birds, reptiles, and horses includes. I'll watch farm animals as well.

We absolutely loved Sarah, and having her pet sit our cats is the best decision we made for our vacation. We have 3, and this is the longest we’ve been away from them. The most important thing to us is that she kept them safe, and I knew she would. If you read her bio, you’ll see how she emphasizes this. Having read nightmare stories, it was the number one most important thing to us. She was also patient with them and they each gradually warmed up to her. She was respectful to our home, and sent us pics every evening which we loved. She was always responsive to our communications. I will gladly have her out again. Thank you so very, very much, Sarah!

I can’t say good enough things about Sarah. She stayed with my puppy throughout the day and followed directions to a tee which extremely comforting leaving your fur baby with someone else. She was so sweet, her communication was amazing and my puppy just loved her. She played with her, walked her, and spent quality time with her. 10/10 recommend Sarah! Will be using her again!

Sarah is great with sensitive pups. Mine has some trust issues, being a rescue, but he quickly warmed up to her gentle nature. Highly recommend !

Amazing job from Sarah as always. She was able to administer eye medication for my dog's conjunctivitis while I was gone. Super communicative and helpful!
