Pet care experience
Loving, Reliable Pet & House Sitter
Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and single mom of two who has always had pets as part of my family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats and am comfortable with other animals as well. I provide house and pet sitting during the times my kids are with their dad, which allows me to fully focus on your pets and your home. I’m a teacher, so I’m available on weekends and major holidays, and I understand the importance of routines, clear communication, and responsibility. I take pride in keeping homes clean and organized—and I always try to leave things better than I found them. Your pets will be cared for with patience, attention, and lots of love, just like they’re my own.

Ratings and reviews
Sarah S. was fantastic! She showed up on time and immediately held our toy poodle mix who gravitated to her right away. She listened to his care instructions and did what we asked while we were gone. When I would text her to check on him, she quickly replied also sending photos of him. He stresses very easily but he didn't feel a moment of stress with Sarah! If we ever need a pet sitter again we won't hesitate to contact her.
Sarah is an amazing pet sitter. She has watched my dogs several times and I never worry when she is watching them. I have one dog that can be mean and she has worked well with him. She’s even cleaned up after them if they have accidents. She’s very trustworthy and I would recommend her to anyone.
Sarah has house and dog sat for me on many occasions. She’s the only one I trust to stay in my house and care for my animals! She is careful to follow your instructions to a tee and is a very trustworthy individual. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I’m a full-time teacher and work weekdays from 7:30 AM–4:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m home and able to devote my time and attention to your pets. I attend church on Sundays and Wednesday evenings, but otherwise keep a predictable, low-key schedule. When I accept a booking, your pets become a priority in my daily routine. I’m intentional about planning my time around their needs—whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, or simply being present so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to care for pets in their own home, where they are most comfortable and able to stick to their normal routine. Since I don’t currently have a fenced yard, this also allows me to safely meet each pet’s individual needs without disrupting their environment. I follow the pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, litter care, medications, and bedtime routines. I’ve found that consistency helps pets feel secure and reduces stress while their owners are away. I take time to help each animal feel calm and at ease—whether that means extra play, quiet companionship, or giving them space when they need it. My goal is always to provide care that feels familiar, loving, and dependable, so your pet stays happy and comfortable in your absence.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with the pets I care for focuses on keeping them happy, active, and comfortable in their normal routine. I make sure feeding, walks, and playtime happen around the schedule they’re used to so they feel at ease while their owners are away. Dogs get daily walks, outdoor time, and play in the yard to burn energy and stay active. I also like to include mental stimulation activities like simple puzzle games or enrichment challenges to keep them engaged and prevent boredom. During quieter times, I make sure pets have safe activities, comfortable spaces to rest, and plenty of attention and affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, stimulated, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.
