Pet care experience
Dog Mom of 2 - Reliable and Loving
I’m a dog mom of two and have raised both of my dogs since they were puppies, so I’m very experienced with daily care, routines, and potty training. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, giving treats appropriately, and helping dogs stick to their normal structure. I also have experience administering medications, as one of my dogs has gone through surgery and required consistent care during recovery. In addition, I regularly care for my friend’s mini dachshund, who I’ve been watching since she was just 2 months old and continue to watch almost every month. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with puppies, small dogs, and maintaining routines that help them feel safe and secure. I also have experience with leash reactivity, so I understand how to handle dogs that may need a little extra awareness, patience, and space while on walks.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and stress free. For drop in visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I also make sure to give them attention and companionship so they don’t feel lonely. For in home pet sitting, I maintain their full daily routine, including walks, feeding schedules, and downtime. I’m attentive to behavior, cleanliness, and safety, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and check ins so you have peace of mind while you’re away. As a pet owner who has used pet sitters myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I aim to provide the same level of reliability, communication, and care that I would want for my own animals.
Ratings and reviews
Sarah definitely calmed our nerves of leaving our cat behind on a trip. She completed her drop-in visits on time, was very respectful to our house, and treated our cat like her own. We loved receiving the many pictures and videos she sent. I highly recommend Sarah if you're looking for a sitter to look after your cat with the utmost care.
Sarah was fantastic! First of all, not only was she professional, but so thoughtful. I informed her that she could turn off my camera for privacy, but she kept it on (think she could sense I was nervous having someone new watch my kitty). Other notables: she was on time, sent updates and photos without me asking, and cleaned up a mess my rambunctious kitten made (she knocked down a houseplant I just bought). A last bonus was that she played with my kitten even though she was just hired to feed and change the water. This was my first time hiring someone and she certainly set a high standard! Highly recommend!!
Sarah is the best dog sitter. She trained my dog to sit and wait all while watching her. I got updates via texts and photos on how my dog was with so much understanding of me being a crazy dog mom. Sarah is honestly the best and an absolute pleasure to talk to.

Schedule
Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, timely walks, and stick closely to their usual routines. I’m able to plan my day around their needs, whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, or just keeping them company so they feel comfortable and cared for. I also help take care of my sister’s cat when she’s away, so I’m used to checking in, maintaining routines, and making sure cats feel comfortable in their own space.
