I’ll love your pets like my own!
Pet care experience
No one on this planet loves animals or is more passionate about their wellbeing than me. Growing up. I had pets of all kinds. Rodents, fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, cats, and dogs! Now I have two precious guinea pigs, Gunther and Gordon. I was a dog groomer for two years but am currently taking a break to earn my master's degree. Someday I hope to return to grooming as working with animals full time is so rewarding. I am certified in cat and dog first aid from the American Red Cross so your pets will be in experienced and knowledgable hands. They will also receive endless love and affection from me but I promise that you will still be their favorite! Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions. Caring for a pet is a huge responsibility for sure, and I do not take it lightly. Thank you!
Reviews
We knew from the time we met with Sarah, that she was the one we wanted to have stay with our pups. Their anxiety can be extreme and boarding them would result in their being miserable and us, not being able to relax if we went away. So, ultimately we didn’t venture far from home often. Using this service and finding Sarah was such a great experience. She was responsive to their anxiety and from the start her demeanor must have made them feel safe. We were at complete ease with her in our home while we were away. We were able to really relax and that was such a nice feeling as we knew our babies were well cared for. We will absolutely book with Sarah again- we highly recommend her services!
Sarah was great and flexible watching our old sweet dog who hates to be alone!! Would definitely book again.
She was very nice and she is very caring about animals. I will definitely book again. Thank you Sarah
I'm completely please with how Sarah took care of 1 dog and 2 cats. I asked her to stay at the house, since my dog is a Velcro dog. She left the house in the same condition as it was prior to her stay. Sam didn't seem at all stressed when I arrived home and the cats bowls were full, which is about all you need to do with them. I'll definitely seek her out the next time I need pet care. Thank Sarah -B

Safety, trust & environment
In order to ensure the most comfortable experience for your pet and due to my current living situation (studio apartment), I prefer to care for pets in their own home. It is completely up to you if you want me to stay there overnight or if you prefer I stay at my own home and spend time with your fur babies during the day. Regardless, all pets will have water 24/7 and be given food, treats, and snacks according to owner instructions. Dogs will be given walks, playtime, and snuggles (on their terms of course!) Cats will be provided with all the love and affection they so desire.
Information Sarah P. would like to know about your pet
Whatever information you think is important. You know them better than anyone. Most important is their safety and well-being. Do they have any allergies? Any illnesses or injuries that require special care and attention? Is there anything that makes your pet uncomfortable or anxious that should be avoided (other animals, loud noises, etc.) Outside of their basic routine and their favorite things to do any other info you can offer up I will use to make their experience with me a great one!
A typical day
I will take your dogs on walks as often as needed and we can play together too! Fetch, tug of war, whatever they’d like! I’m a certified expert at belly rubs and head scratches. If snuggles, smooches, and hugs are things they enjoy I will offer unlimited affection. If they aren’t the touchy feely type, I also offer stimulating conversation.

I am currently a graduate student working part time for my school. I make my own hours so I will have more than enough freedom in my schedule to make your pets my top priority while they are in my care. If your fur baby is my responsibility, nothing will matter to me more than their health and happiness.
