Availability

I work from home, which makes my availability to pet sit very flexible. For pet boarding, I prefer earlier on in the week, and I will notify you ASAP if I am ever unable to make an appointment. IMPORTANT: I can board small caged animals as well as cats. The option is not listed on Rover, so you can select cats in the booking menu and clarify to me that it is a different animal. For drop-in visits, I am available weekdays after 5 PM, Monday-Tues, Thursday-Friday. I am available all day most weekends. For house sitting, I prefer not to sleep on property, but depending on the proximity to my home, I am amenable to discuss. To compensate, I can be available to spend almost the entire day at your home, provided you have reliable Wifi, as my work is done remotely. I can arrive early, and depart late if needed. I can stay for the day 7 days a week, with departure times depending on the day of the week. I can stay late most days. For pet walking, I can come by weekdays after 5 PM, Monday-Tues, Thursday-Friday, and weekends any time. IMPORTANT: I am not able to control large or extra large dogs that are not trained to walk by your side or are prone to breaking away while being walked.

Safety, trust & environment

I have two cats living in my home, and naturally, they are free to roam the entire house. If I was to board your pet, they would stay in my bedroom (plenty of space for a cat or small animal for a few days) with no issues. I will be spending most all of the day with them, as I work from my bedroom, so they will be well attended to. When visiting your home & pet, I can be there for most of the workday or later in the evening, provided you have a reliable Wifi connection. I prefer clients to be available via text in case any questions arise or if something unexpected occurs during the day. Please be as detailed as possible in your instructions regarding your home and little friend! I always want to ensure I am respectful to both.

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

Our pets have all kinds of unique needs, preferences, and quirks. If your pet wants their bowl set down a particular way, has a preference for play style, or even likes to drink tap water out of a human glass (like my cat), let me know! I want your pet to trust me and feel comfortable with their caretaker.

A typical day

Depending on your pets needs and the service booked, we can play with their favorite toys, go for a walk if they'd like, or they can take a nap while I put something on for us to watch.

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of my own pets for over 12 years, the longest time has been spent caring for cats, but I have experience in bird care, small mammal care, and dog sitting. I am contacted often by friends and family to care for their animals, as I am diligent with the details, and very communicative and observant while pet sitting. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry, feathered, or scaly friend!

Sarah was excellent with my nervous dog. She went above and beyond to send us pictures and ensure my dog was comfortable. Excellent communication overall and very pleasant experience.

Sara is so sweet. She really cares about Tilla's wellbeing. She reached out with questions and sent pictures and videos so I didn't miss Tilla as much.

Sarah is such a wonderful pet caregiver! She has watched my cat many many times and is always mindful of his feeding schedule, prioritizes play time and any other specific needs my boy requires. She is also a loving pet parent herself! She’s always responsible and values my pet as if he were her own.
