I work full time, but live and work in the neighborhood. My range is set close so that I can take a break and come check in on, walk, feed and play with your pets! I'm flexible with times throughout the day, very reliable and I enjoy getting to know neighbors and their pets. I love getting to spend more time with animals as I am currently petless for the first time in years!

Safety, trust & environment

I follow instructions well and make sure to follow all directions to provide your pet with the routine they rely on. I know how important it is to maintain that routine while your pet is stressed with your absence, but still it fun! I have watched others animals for years, and have consistently been told that folks wouldn't trust anyone else! I also have had and taken care of multiple rescue animals with triggers and can learn how to recognize and adapt to make them feel safe.

Please let me know preferences, personalities, health problems, other issues or trainings you are working on, or other info about your pet. Any info about how they are with other animals, or people would be helpful!

A typical day

I make sure to keep your pet physically and mentally stimulated. We'll take walks and play and they get lots of pets and love. I'll figure out their specific personality and cater to what they enjoy.

Over several years we "employed" Sarah as our house & pet sitter for a senior cat with medical needs - specifically administering oral meds 2x/day. I can't wax enthusiastically enough about how glad I was to be able to rely on Sarah for our cat's health - and our household's well belng - whenever we had to/ chose to travel. We are about to employ her once again, simply to sit the house in our absence, later this summer (Dolce died). She will keep the birds fed and the house safe in our absence. Sarah is an excellent communicator, and a very reliable resource. Plus, I feel like she leaves our house tidier than when we left it (living on the west coast, we tend to leave in the wee hours of the morning so it is a drag ourselves out of bed & grab a 4 am ride most of the time)

Sarah has cared for our maltese Halo many times over the years. He loves her! She also cleans and goes above and beyond in thoughtful ways while pet sitting. Our little guy is very comfortable and well cared for and is super calm and happy when we return. She even worked to teach him a few commands, better leash walking skills and Sarah picked up on a health issue we had missed noticing. She would do extra things like clean his face and check in regularly with us at certain times. She is our preferred sitter!

Sarah is so wonderful with my elderly cat, Ralphie. He loves her dearly and prefers to be as close to her as possible when he sleeps and rests. Since he is picky about who he spends time with that is saying a lot! I never have worries when I leave him in Sarah’s care♥️
