Because dogs and cats are awesome!

Pet care experience

I enjoy the company of animals so much. I have 3 resident dogs and 2 resident cats. I would have even more if my husband would let me. That’s why I started pet sitting! I really can't have enough dogs and cats in my life. The more the merrier. I have experience working at a veterinary clinic and volunteering at PAWS animal shelter where I cared for shelter dogs and cats and bottle fed baby squirrels. I especially love senior pets and am experienced with medication administration. When I’m not hanging out with dogs and cats, I am hard at work getting my doctorate in occupational therapy. My husband Chris works from home and often helps with daycare and boarding requests. We have two young daughters who also like to “help,” with pet sitting. When pets come to our home, we consider them part of the family. In the evenings they lounge with us on the couch and at they usually end up sleeping in bed with us.

We always ask Sarah when we are out of town. She does such a wonderful job of taking care of our cats and communicating with us. She is a charming person and a wonderful cat sitter.

Sarah is the best. We have asked Sarah to take care of our kitties many times over the past couple years. She’s very loving and caring. Both of our cats require some attention and she always gives the best. I’m so grateful for her.

Information Sarah R. would like to know about your pet

I find it helpful to know what behaviors are normal for your pet. Is your pet vaccinated? Does your dog or cat like treats or have food allergies. Would your dog enjoy a trip to the dog park? Who is your local veterinarian and preferred emergency hospital?

A typical day

I approach each animal individually and the care that I provide depends on the personality of the pet. Some cats just want someone to sit with them. Others want cuddle and play time. Some dogs love playing fetch while others prefer slow meandering walks.

So many dogs and cats have helped me succeed in grad school by offering their unconditional love and support. I am available for pet sitting and dog walks in the morning, evening, and sometimes at lunchtime.
