About Sarah S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to watch your pet(s) in your home. If you leave me a schedule, including food, treats, play, and walk times, I will stick to that precisely. I feel that pets not only need a routine, but they do much better in their own environment. If there's an emergency, I will be able to bring them to my home. Obviously communication will be key, and this is only for extenuating circumstances (if I feel they are unsafe due to unforeseen situations). My goal is to continue their established routine, so when you come home, there will be a smooth transition.
Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet
I am experienced with giving medications to both dogs and cats. If your pet has any medical issues, please let me know ahead of time.
A typical day
A fun walk, snuggles on the couch, playtime with their favorite toy. Maybe a couple treats! Anything I can do to keep them happy and engaged!

Reviews
Sarah stayed with Casper for several days while we were on a trip. She took great care of him! He clearly had a great time and she made sure he got his medication. She communicated really well and also took great care of the house.
There is no rating high enough for Sarah. From pre-booking to the home visit, to watching our home and our fur babies while we were on vacation, Sarah was amazing. Her situation was unique that in addition to taking care of our adult cats, we asked her to take care of a (somewhat friendly) mama cat and her 5 week old kittens. Sarah graciously offered her time for 24/7 care. And of course, just when we thought all was going smoothly, a hornet appeared in our finished basement which is unusual. This is where mama and babies are located. Then another one appeared - VERY unusual. When the third one appeared, not so far from the kittens, Sarah sprang into action and, together, we figured out a safe solution to draw any potential bees inside the home to outside the home. Sarah was a real trooper and took care of the home and pets like they were her own. No more bees appeared and life returned to “normal”. Well, as normal as can be for a home with cats and kittens. I can vouch for Sarah and she will be our first choice for future house and pet care needs. Sarah is friendly, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator and our fur babies loved her.
We utilized the house sitting option because our senior dog needs more attention these days. Sarah was FANTASTIC!! She communicated with updates and questions perfectly & our pups absolutely love her!! Thank you Sarah!!
Sarah has watched my dogs while I was away on multiple occasions. I always feel comfortable with Sarah because she has years of experience with her own pets. She provides updates via text which I appreciate too! The dogs love her, and I know they are in good hands.
