Experienced & detailed sitter
Pet care experience
**Please read below before booking** Hello Pet Families! My name is Sarah, and I have 6 years of pet sitting under my belt as well as the care and upkeep of farms and horses. Experience with all types of dogs, cats, horses and livestock, birds, fish and reptiles. Please reach out with any needs you have, I would love to meet you and your pets! A little about me: I was in childcare for 6+ years doing everything from private nannying, daycare and after school care. I know how to respect working in someone’s home and leave detailed report cards for each animal for you to look over. I have my degree in Early Childhood Education, but my passion lies with animals! **Important Info** I am available on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Tuesdays. I work part time the other days. My prices reflect my experience. A constant care rate applies if you’d like me to leave minimally during the stay. I am willing to travel up to 10mi surrounding 60142, a gas surcharge fee applies beyond that radius. I dedicate my time to my own dog and detailed, thorough and loving care — and your animals will receive the exact same treatment. I go above and beyond for my pet clients and make sure they receive the VIP treatment — you can expect 3 pictures a day and prompt communication. Your pet will receive so much love and attention, it’s like you never left home!
Reviews
Sarah is a loving house and dogsitter. She cared for my dogs many times throughout the year when we would go on vacation and even last-minute bookings she accommodated quickly and efficiently. Sarah does petsitting full time and we really can see her passion for it shine through.

DOES YOUR ANIMAL HAVE…? Likes and Dislikes, Favorite Treats, Allergies, Behavioral Triggers, Favorite Toys, Specific Potty Behavior, Separation Anxiety, Favorite Interests, and/or other? Let me know — I want to make sure your animals are as comfortable as possible!
A typical day
I love to use Nina Ottosson Dog Puzzles and pet-safe bubbles, and pups go crazy for them. Puzzles are great for mental stimulation and eventually your dog becomes a puzzle master. I love to be outside anytime we can enjoy long walks and hiking — but I definitely don’t mind short walks and cuddles on the couch too!
