Pet care experience

Warm, reliable care

Hi there! I’m so glad you’ve stopped by my profile. I’m a reliable, caring, and trustworthy individual with a genuine love for animals and a strong respect for people’s homes. Whether it’s snuggling with pets, keeping routines consistent, or ensuring your home stays safe and tidy while you’re away, I take pride in offering peace of mind to the families I help. I’m known for being dependable, detail-oriented, and easy to communicate with—qualities I bring to every house and pet sitting assignment. I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I treat every home and pet as if they were my own. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your space, your furry (or feathered!) loved ones, or all of the above.

Sarah was wonderful with Scooby, as always! She kept me super updated while I was away and sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. Scooby seemed so happy and comfortable with her and clearly had a great time. It’s such a peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands with Sarah. I’m always happy to have her look after him and would highly recommend her!

Sarah took wonderful care of my 5months old puppy Scooby. She kept me updated throughout the day with lots of pictures and videos, and was very attentive to his needs. Scooby was happy and well cared for. Thank you so much.

Hi, Sarah has been taking care of my home and pets for the past 2 years; in that time, she’s shown many positive qualities. Sarah is reliable, maintains quick response times for any last minute coverage, and she pays great attention to detail in time dedicated to maintaining my space. My teacup yorkie, orange and calico cats love her too. I’d recommend her to anyone wholeheartedly.

I’ve known Sarah for over a decade, and she has always shown incredible responsibility and compassion, especially with animals. She’s dependable, easy to work with, and genuinely attentive to the needs of every pet in her care. You won't find a person more energetic or passionate. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet caregiver.

Schedule

I like to be active, so walking dogs or playing with cats or other pets, it's a joy to engage with animals. My work life also fits perfectly with pet care- I'm blessed with wonderful work-life balance.

I love cats and dogs and all that comes with them. In order to care for them best, communication from the owner is essential. I want to ensure any pet I care for feels right at home with me and at ease in our time together.
