Availability

Currently pretty open* availability which allows me the flexibility to run home if necessary & helpful--when I'm not traveling. I'm open 24/7 outside of a few drs appts here or there, & gone for no more than 3hrs at a time. I have no pets of my own, currently & this allows me to deliver very attentive & personalized care, one on one with your furry loved one :) I love to keep active & hike! I love to play & diligently take care of your cute pets! Prior military, drug-free home, & well kept/clean house.

Information Sarah R. would like to know about your pet

Willing to accommodate & help out as needed, within reason. I'll be honest because I care & believe you deserve that--so, if there's something i don't know how to do, I'll let you know & usually willing to learn. The more I know, your preferences, etc = the better I can take care of your furry loved ones while you're away. I always offer to water any plants you may have as well or do a little project while you're away--wipe down the fridge, dust, etc. I clean homes & babysit kids often, as well.

A typical day

I'm pretty open & flexible around minimal appointments-gone no more than 3hrs. I love pets, would love to play w/them, go on the many adventurous trails/routes nearby & snuggle & watch a good Hallmark movie while helping you out! I love to keep active, hike & sincerely help. :)

Wonderful having Sarah watch our boys while we were out of the country. It is so nice to have someone who cares for our boys and loves them as much as we do.

Sarah is awesome! My puppy dog loved her right away! Sarah sent me a lot of pictures while I was away, which I greatly appreciated! My pup and house were cared for wonderfully! I highly recommend Sarah and will ask her to take care of my pup again soon!

Sarah took great care of Neville while we were gone for a long weekend. She's a fantastic communicator and followed all of our instructions perfectly. We will happily book her again.
