Pets Are Family – Just Ask Me!

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is my deep, lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience with pets of all ages. I currently care for 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own, and I’ve never gone a day without tending to an animal. I’m especially patient with senior pets and gentle with shy or anxious animals. I’m also comfortable with basic puppy training, medication administration, and special care routines. Your pet will be treated like one of my own—with love, attention, and respect every step of the way.

I booked Sarah last min, I think it was day of or evening before. She made it a priority to come and meet me and the pets before I headed out of town that evening. Checked in with me with pics and cute updates the whole time! My dog and kitties were in a great mood when I got home so I know she took good care of them, she even saved my fish and snail who I forgot to tell her about ! My dog got to do all kinds of fun stuff including car rides and pup cups from Starbucks ! Already set up dates for the next time she can watch my dog while I have surgery. I am so thankful to have found her !

Sarah was amazing! Will definitely be hiring her again; she went above and beyond for us and our kittens and even took daily photos of them for us to ease our anxiety with leaving them for such a long time.

Communicated well. Worked well with our schedule. Very pleased with service. Would use her services again. This was April’s first time being boarded and considering that she is a puppy we appreciated the understanding and patience Sarah provided.

Safety, trust & environment

At my home, pets enjoy a little over an acre of land with a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor play, exercise, and exploring. The space allows dogs to run freely and burn off energy in a secure, supervised environment. Inside, the atmosphere is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with cozy spaces for rest, play, and feeding. I understand and respect the importance of crate training—I crate my own dogs when I’m not home to ensure their safety and comfort. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always follow routines closely and provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where pets feel right at home.

Information Sarah P. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know their routine, diet, medical needs, fears, favorite toys, and how they get along with people or other pets—anything that helps keep them happy and comfortable.

A typical day

I love hanging out with pets—going on walks, playing fetch, giving treats, and lots of cuddles. We have fun, stay active, and just enjoy each other.

Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I plan my day around feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and giving each pet one-on-one attention. With 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own, I’m constantly in tune with their needs, from early morning potty breaks to evening cuddle time. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s just how I live my life. Whether it’s a quick check-in or an overnight stay, I’m fully committed to giving every pet the love and care they deserve.
