Sarah was clean, pumctual, and communicated well while looking after our 2 cats. One of our cats can be quite temperamental but warmed up to Sarah and got lots of cuddles! We would definitely use Sarah again!

Sarah was wonderful with Theo. She was very responsive and flexible, and her friendly attitude made the whole experience easy and comfortable. She asked thoughtful questions about Theo’s needs and even offered to take him for a walk. I also really appreciated that she has a fenced yard—great for peace of mind. Highly recommend!

Sarah was great with my dog! She took care of him for a couple weeks and was kind, responsible and flexible. I would have her around again!

Sarah was a dream come true looking for a dog sitter! I needed someone to watch my 4 year old retriever Mon-Fri while I was away for work for a few weeks, and she was amazing! So flexible with my annoying drop off/pick up times, and sent me lots of "pupdates" during the week. Fred almost didn't want to come home when I picked him up for the weekends, so many walks and cuddles! Highly recommend her for anyone needing a dog sitter!!!

Sarah was fantastic when taking care of our pups and cats, she treats them as if they're her own, and keeps our mind at ease with updates and photos. They loved going on runs with her and snuggling on the sofa! We would definitely recommend Sarah for walks and overnight stays!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a medium sized fenced yard, animal loving housemates who are used to friends dogs staying. House 2 minute from the rail trail for regular walks.

A typical day

I love to take any dogs I am caring for to variety of locations for their walks - dog park, cottonwood, pulpit, morning mountain. If you have an energetic dog, I'd love to take them on a run with me! If staying in the evening, my 2 housemates are also dog lovers, so evenings are full of attention & cuddles
