NOW BOOKING OVERNIGHT IN YOUR HOME!

I am a retired professional and permanent Hilton Head Island resident. If you are looking for a mature, exceptionally reliable, and dedicated caregiver to provide boutique-level attention to your pet, I would love to assist you. After recently losing my own dog, Brie, my schedule is open for overnight stays in your home. I have an abundance of love, time, and focused energy to dedicate to your dog. Because I am retired, this is not a side-gig for me; it is my passion and my singular focus when I'm caring for your pet(s). 🌟 The Premium Care Difference High-end pet care is about more than just checking boxes, it is about maintaining your dog's exact peace of mind and comfort. When you book with me, you can expect: Undivided Attention: I do not overbook myself. Your dog will receive one-on-one, pampered companionship. I will be attentive to your pet's exact schedule and needs. Respect for Your Home: As a homeowner myself, I maintain an immaculate environment. I respect your privacy, your property, and your community’s guidelines. Frequent, thoughtful updates: Enjoy your travel with peace of mind. I send regular photo and text updates at any frequency you desire. 💼 My Professional Background: Before retiring, I spent my career in the insurance industry, including over 17 years with Chubb Insurance. What does that mean for you as a homeowner and pet parent? It means that risk management, safety, and extreme attention to detail are second nature to me. I am deeply responsible, fully understand the importance of home security, and know how to remain calm, logical, and proactive in any unexpected situation. When I am staying at your residence, I treat your property with the exact same level of care, security, and respect that I would my own. Services & Location Limits To ensure the absolute highest quality of service, I keep my geographic limits strict and focused: Premium Overnight House Sitting (Island-Wide): I will happily relocate to your home anywhere on Hilton Head Island to provide a seamless, stress-free routine for your dog while you are away. Daily Dog Walking (Strictly Local): To guarantee promptness and boutique attention, daily neighborhood walks are limited to the mid-island area. Whether you are a local resident traveling for the holidays or a visitor wanting dedicated care for your pet while you enjoy the island, I look forward to giving you complete and total peace of mind. I am available to schedule a time to meet with you and your pet to understand all of your needs.

Sarah is AMAZING! Our Bogey is so skittish with new people and she took the extra time to come and meet him a few times before being left alone with him and they are true buddies now. She not only came by and walked him, but spent time hanging out with him, petting him and giving him some love and a friend while we were out for the day, all with sending us pictures and even video. Sarah, we'll be calling you for as long as you'll have us!

Before caring for or walking a dog, I would want to know about your pet's general behaviors - any issues with other dogs or people? What are the pet's likes/dislikes. Having owned 2 rescued dogs, I'm familiar with and comfortable with a variety of dog behavior, but I feel it's something important to know up front for the safety and protection of the dog.
