Pets

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. I am independently bonded and insured. Please request more info if needed.

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.

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.

I have been trusting Sarah with my pets for 15 years. She does a wonderful job taking care of them and has no problem keeping them on the schedule they're used to. She always provides updates along the way with how they are doing, and I can tell when I return that they've not only been watched, but truely cared for. I've never had a complaint about Sarah, and she's the first person I turn to when plans take me out of town for any period of time. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

There are only a few people whom I would trust to watch our dogs, and Sarah is one of them. One of our dogs suffers from a disease that means he has to take medicine every day, this is one of the many reasons Sarah is our go-to dogsitter. I trust her more than the kennel and it gives us piece of mind that she is in our house with our beloved dogs when we are away.
