Pet care experience

Experienced, Reliable and Flexible

I come to you with over 17 years of experience working with pets! I LOVE animals, and spent 10 years working at a boarding kennel watching family pets. I spent a good chunk of my childhood watching Animal Planet learning everything I could about animals, and that love of learning all about animals has continued into today. I have always been first choice to watch my friends, coworkers and families' pets when they are out of town. I am a compassionate, trusted and proven resource, and I am comfortable around a huge variety of breeds and sizes. I am familiar with the biology, psychology and needs of cats and dogs. I am excited for the chance to love your animal like he or she is my own!

Safety, trust & environment

I like to keep your pups schedule as close to his/her normal schedule as possible. Whatever you do, I will do. I love walking and exercising pups, and will adjust to your preferences! Whatever makes your pet the happiest, makes me the happiest! I only book one family at a time so you can rest assured your dog/dogs will be my main priority.

Sarah was the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. She sent tons of photos and video while we were gone. We could tell she was enjoying her time with Charlie and he seemed very happy and relaxed in all of the photos and videos. She took him out several times a day and always messaged when she would leave the house and return back to the house. When we got home the house was clean and organized. We will definitely use her again! If we could rate her 10 stars, we would.

The best! Sarah was wonderful with my 10 year old girl who has a lot of anxiety. After two weeks, came home to a spotless house and a happy dog.

This was our second time with Sarah watching our dog, Daisy. Once again, she was amazing. This time she watched Daisy for two weeks and it really helped us enjoy our vacation knowing Daisy was being so well being taken care of. She’s an amazing communicator, took Daisy on lots of outings to walk and to the dog park, and really treated her like we would (or maybe better!). 5 stars and we will use her again next chance we get!

Sarah is OUSTANDING. We have 2 pups that we are definitely overbearing pup parents about, and Sarah looked after them with the same attentiveness and love. One of our pups has some special medical needs, and Sarah was prepared to handle that if necessary. We have never left our pups for an extended amount of time like this before, but it was significantly less stressful with Sarah watching over them. In addition to taking care of our pups, Sarah went above and beyond our expectations and took care of our house in our absence as well. She did laundry, dishes, and kept the house as clean if not even cleaner than we left it. I could continue writing about how all around great Sarah is as a person and pet care taker, but I recommend you try her out yourself. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Sarah!!

Sarah was amazing. She’s a great communicator and sent a ton of pictures, which was great to be able to see our dog having fun while we were traveling. She took our dog on tons of walks and to the dog park, and judging by how tired and happy our she was when we got home, she had tons of fun. Our house looked like Sarahj was never here when we got home or maybe even better! We plan to book Sarah again when we’re traveling again later this year. 5 stars all the way! Thanks Sarah!

I can help train your dog while I have him or her! Any simple command and am also happy to try harder commands! I trained most of my friends puppies in all their basic commands including sit, down, stay, paw, touch, back-up and speak. I have no breed or weight preferences.
