Pet care experience

Experienced pet lover and dog mama

Hi I’m Sarah! Dog mama to Maci (Siberian Husky) and Koa (an Australian Shepherd). When I’m not spending time with my family, you can find me hiking, kayaking, or in a training class with my young pup, Koa. There has never been a time in my life that I haven’t had a pet to care for - from dogs to cats to bunnies. As a pet owner who has had to travel from time to time without my animals, I know how hard it can be to leave your beloved fur baby behind for a trip or even just a long day of work. I am passionate about bringing you and your pet peace and comfort during the occasional times apart. I have experience with all ages of dogs from 8 weeks old to seniors and am happy to be available for drop in visits (whether routine or on occasion) as well as walks. My goal as a pet sitter is to bring peace of mind to you, and lots of pets and playtime to your fur babies. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends soon!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My pets are a part of our family so we spend a lot of time snuggling inside. That said, they’re full of energy so I am no stranger to a good game of fetch in the yard or a long walk. I am comfortable feeding, crating, walking, and playing with your pet as well as giving them lots of affection.

Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of her cat while we were gone on vacation. She met him before we left and I could tell instantly that my cat liked her. He's usually very shy but after hearing us talk, he came out to say hello. Sarah was an excellent communicator and kept me up to date with daily photos and discussion about his behavior. It felt so good to know that our furry family member was in good hands while we were gone. Wonderful!
