I treat your pets as my own

Pet care experience

I have loved pets all my life. Growing up, we had a Brittany named Jewells and I had two rabbits, Sadie and Hank. Now I have a dog nephew named Jax is a mini golden doodle and a dog niece named Ki who is a black lab. I also recently got my first dog, a golden retriever named Midas. In the past I have dog sat and also worked at a grooming facility. For the past year I have worked at a veterinary clinic as well. At the clinic, I was an assistant so I interacted with each animal making their visit a positive experience.

Sarah did a good job dropping in on our dogs while we were gone for the holidays. Great communication and notifications and also pictures. Thanks again Sarah.

Sarah was great with our cat Juno. She gave her lots of attention and handled giving her meds very well. We will definitely work with Sarah again!

It eased a lot of anxiety having Sarah stop by to take care of our cats while we were on vacation! We looked forward to the pictures we received each time she visited..would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter!

Sarah is great! Very friendly and responsive. She took care of our girls just as we needed and would have ourselves! We will request her to drop in again during our future vacations!

Information Sarah P. would like to know about your pet

If your dog (or any pet) has any special needs, just let me know ahead of time, so we can make arrangements in order for me to produce the best care.

A typical day

A big part of getting energy out in dogs is not only physical exercise but also mental stimulation. I’ll be happy to throw the ball in the yard, and I also enjoy playing games with them that make them think.
