Animals make my heart skip a beat!

Pet care experience

Worked in the customer service and property management industry for 15 years before transitioning to now small business owner/ pet sitter last 8 years. Everyone in my life has always said I should have been a vet but the thing is, my heart is just too tender to see the sad side of things on a daily basis, for both the animals and owners. No matter what job I've held, animals have always truly had my true attention and heart. I have raised dogs and cats my entire life and truly enjoy having that connection of unconditional love. My husband and I have two wonderful boy and girl kitties who are definitely the definition of fur babies. They get along well with dogs but may run and hide from the excited ones. I have a fully fenced backyard and my house sits along a golf course which makes for great walks. Backyard access is based on client preference. I am blessed to make my own schedule and prioritize all pet sitting requests when planning out my time. Pet sitting is truly how I enjoy spending my time. My husband also works from home so animals are rarely alone. Our back yard has a lot of great space, is very secure with a high brick wall and complete with a tree to offer shade for the sun bathers.

I've used Sarah many times for in home dog sitting for our 2 pooches when we go out of town and she always does an amazing job! I have a Goldendoodle (sweetest girl alive) and a Sheepadoodle ( sweetest lunatic once you get to know him) and Sarah always gives them lots of snuggles, pool toy throws and sends cute photos/videos. She is also super clean and when I come back from a vacation the house is exactly how I left it. I would highly recommend Sarah as she is the dog whisperer- especially for Hubert!

Sarah was excellent and very reliable. Our beagle loved his time with Sarah! He had plenty of space to explore and enjoyed shaded walks along a golf course. Strong recommendation.

Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my cat! This was my cat's first time boarding away from home. Even though my cat didn't get along with one of her cats, Sarah made sure she had lots of space and attention. She had lots of cat toys and places for her to play. I'm so glad my cat was able to stay with Sarah!

Sarah was great with our dog Tali! She provided good communication and updates. We picked up our pup happy and tired. It was clear he enjoyed himself.

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

Whichever style or methods the pet is most comfortable to receive love and care, I am confident I can provide. I pride myself in being able to earn the trust of most animals I come into contact with.

A typical day

I live in Scottsdale where most everything is walkable and not to mention my favorite dog park just up the street. Living next to a golf course also provides more leisurely walks for pets who may not be as social.
