Safety, trust & environment

I want to care for your animal just like my own! I love to go on walks and play with dogs and cats in the home. I have some skittish rescue cats myself, so I’m good with animals that might need a little extra calming energy.

Information Sarah P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you have any special needs or requests. I like to know what their favorite toy is, how they interact with other dogs, or if there are house rules. I keep notes on each pet to make sure they get the best service every time!

A typical day

We’ll go on walks, play with their favorite toy or just get some extra cuddles in during drop ins. Whatever your pet may need that day!

Pet care experience

I grew up with small/medium sized dogs and have three (very shy) cats of my own. I’ve done drop-ins and walks for neighbors and friends for years, and I love all animals young or old! I’m known for being reliable, communicative, detail-oriented, and flexible. I also love to send owners pictures of their pets, so expect plenty of cute pics and updates after each visit! 📸 I have a calm, patient energy that works especially well with shy or slow-to-warm-up pets. I’m happy to give your pet space and let them come to me on their terms! That said, I’m not the right fit for animals who are territorial or have a history of aggression (like biting, stalking, swatting, growling at visitors), since safety is key for everyone involved. 💛 Clients say... 🌟 “I’ve used Rover before, but this was by far the best experience.” 🐶 “She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly cared deeply for my dogs—not just feeding and playing with them, but really giving them attention and love.” 😸 “I did not worry even once about how my cat was doing because Sarah was so thorough in her visit reports and sent many cute photos.” 📝 “We had an initial call and she took very thorough notes, so much so that I didn’t have to remind her of anything (gate codes, feeding times, where to find things in the house).” 🖼️ “AND THE PICTURES!!! She captured my kitties beautifully (so much I am framing some!) and caught their personalities to a ‘T’.”

Sarah is amazing. She’s dog sat Klaus since he was a puppy and he’s a lot to handle. She’s communicative, takes cute pics, and is great with dogs!

Sarah always sends lots of photos during her drop in visits! She makes sure to give each pet individual attention and time. We will definitely be booking again!

Sarah is a great communicator and my dog loves her! He’s high energy and a still a puppy so she handles him well. Always rebook her and will continue to.
