Pet care experience
‘Paws’itively Caring 🐾❤️
A quick update for new and returning clients 🤍 First, thank you to all of my wonderful Rover clients over the past several years. It’s been such a privilege to care for your pets, and I’m so grateful for the trust you’ve placed in me. 🥹 I recently started a part-time office position, so I’ve reduced the number of pet sitting clients I’m able to take. Because of my work schedule, I’m unfortunately not able to accept bookings for pets who cannot be left alone for 8–10 hours, unless those hours happen to fall on one of my days off. Thank you so much for your understanding! A little about me: I have over 25 years of hands-on pet care experience, including several years working at an animal hospital. I’ve cared for senior pets, special needs animals, and pets requiring injections, oral medications, subcutaneous fluids, and post-operative care. I currently have two rescue cats and two rescue Chiweenies, each with their own unique personalities and needs. I have a calm, intuitive approach and especially enjoy earning the trust of shy, anxious, or sensitive pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🤍

Ratings and reviews
Sarah was wonderful! We were in a last minute bind to have someone let our pup Ace out while we were gone for the day. We’re so grateful she was able to help!
Sarah is absolutely amazing with my dog, Ziggy! I left for a quick cruise, and knowing he was in her care gave me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly communicative, sent thoughtful updates throughout my trip, and captured the sweetest photos of Ziggy that made me smile every day. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found Sarah and will absolutely book with her again. It’s such a relief knowing my pup is in the most caring and capable hands whenever I’m away. Highly recommend!
Sarah is an amazing dog sitter, and we would highly recommend her to anyone! She sends daily updates with wonderful pictures of our dogs, and we never feel stressed or worried when she is watching them.
Sarah took such good care of our eleven year old foster dog, Claudia! She messaged updates regularly, which I LOVED, and she also let me know when she was leaving the house without the dog to run errands, etc. A sitter has never done that before, and I 💯 appreciated it! The house was spotless when we returned, and most importantly, Claudia was so relaxed, and happy when we got home - she loved Sarah. We’re looking forward to booking her again soon!
There is a reason that we keep booking Sarah and it is because she is amazing with Zilla. Zilla has some medical issues and we can trust that she is in good hands when Sarah comes to visit. She provides insightful and meaningful updates, which puts us at ease when we are away.
Sarah is a TEN-star caregiver. She was conscientious and thorough in her reports and paid attention to all the details required for her daily drop-in visits with our difficult cat, Sammy. It was clear from her notes and even more so from her photos that Sammy was receiving food and companionship. Early in our 3-week trip, we became assured that engaging Sarah hd been the right choice; her photos and videos enlivened our days, and Sammy was in fine condition when we returned. We are grateful for Sarah's care, and would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a drop-in cat sitter.

Schedule
I recently started a part-time office position, so I’ve intentionally reduced the number of pet sitting clients I accept to ensure every pet continues to receive the same attentive, personalized care I’ve always provided. On the days I’m caring for your pets, I plan my schedule around their needs and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship. My goal is for your pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Please note that because I work in an office several days each week, I’m not able to accept bookings for pets who cannot be left alone for 8–10 hours, unless those hours fall on one of my days off. I believe in being transparent so I can provide the best possible care for every pet I accept.
