Licensed Vet Tech

I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) with 4 years of medical experience in the veterinary field including medication administration, fear-free restraint, and client education (among many other skills). I have a strong affinity for loving on pets and using my knowledge to provide education to pet owners. I do not shy away from elderly pets, special needs pets, or pets with daily medication regimens. I like to provide peace of mind to my clients that their pets are cared for as if they were my own. If you have any questions for me, please don't hesitate to ask!

Sarah took care of our girls while we were away for over a week, and I honestly cannot recommend her enough. She works in veterinary care, and it truly shows in the way she understands animals and their behavior so naturally and intuitively. I left her with a two page list of feeding instructions, routines, quirks, likes/dislikes, and all of my anxious cat mom notes and she exceeded every expectation we had. She sent multiple Snapchats and updates every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What stood out most to me was how quickly our cat Brandy trusted her. Brandy normally hides or bolts when people come over, but with Sarah she completely relaxed. She has such a calm, patient energy with animals, truly an animal whisperer. Sarah is reliable, attentive, empathetic, and incredibly thoughtful. She listens carefully, asks questions when needed, and genuinely treats your pets like her own. I would trust her again in a heartbeat.

Sarah has been dog sitting for me for about 8 years now. She’s always been dependable, respectful and timely to follow my dog’s schedule. Respectful of my home as well, have never come home to any pet messes. She gives the dogs plenty of attention when she stops, especially when we’re away for more than a night. Highly recommend.

Sarah has cared for my animals on multiple occasions over the years while I've been out of town with my family. With her veterinary medicine background, she was also able to tell me when my dog, Stella, was sick, and that a trip to the emergency vet was definitely warranted. Without her coming to check on Stella right away, I would not have known the severity of what was going on, and things could have ended differently for us. She has even trimmed Stella's nails! Sarah is very caring, very thorough, and cares for my pets as she would care for her own. I 100% recommend her to anyone!
