PetVacays with Aunt Sarah

I would love to meet you and your pets! As a dog owner for the last 20 years, and a pet caregiver for the last 15, I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages. Before moving to Gainesville, I provided pet care services via Rover and similar platforms. Your pet's comfort and safety are top priorities when I'm with them. Please note, super early (before 630a) or late (after 9pm) drop offs or pickups will be charged an extra fee.

Sarah was awesome in taking good care of my dog! My dog stayed with her while I was away for 9 days. Sarah provided him a home environment with the care, companionship, and playtime he needed. She listened to my description of my dog's likes and dislikes so she could make him as happy as possible. My dog is a senior who takes some meds, which Sarah also handled, and she went above-and-beyond when there was a small issue with a refill. She sent daily updates and photos, and she responded quickly to messages. During my trip I never had to worry about my dog, knowing that he was getting the care I would give him. Also Sarah's small dog is very easy-going; he was a nice canine companion for my small dog who gets scared around the domineering types. I would recommend Sarah highly!

Sarah is the best. We used her several times in Chicago and we miss her already. She would sometimes bring her Kizer to stay with Lucy and Lucy absolutely loved her friend coming over. If she is available, don't hesitate. I trusted her fully with my pets and to stay in our home for short and long stays.

Sarah is absolutely amazing. She is very responsive and communicated extremely well so that all the details were sorted out before my trip. She sent adorable photos while she was there which helped me feel even more relaxed about leaving the kitties in good hands. They seemed happy and peaceful when I came home. Will definitely hire Sarah again!

Sarah has been such a great sitter for our 10-month-old pup, Montana. Montana is super energetic and requires a lot of attention. Sarah took her for long walks and we loved getting updates while we were out too. Sarah is very professional, on time, and very responsive. I highly recommend Sarah for any dog sitting needs. We will definitely be asking her to come hang with our pup again the next time we are out :)
