Caring for every pet like my own!

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover to my core! I've had dogs my whole life, and have been proudly owned by Labs, French Bulldogs, and currently a pair of Chihuahuas. I have also cared for cats as long-term fosters! I volunteer with the French Bulldog Rescue Network, and have attended obedience classes at Capital Dog Training with several of my dogs. I have a special affinity for the smoosh-face breeds and the gentle giants, but I've dog sat and walked all sorts, from Salukis to Shiba Inus! I also have experience walking multiple dogs at a time. I also adore my feline friends, and would be delighted to meet your pet, whatever the species - I have cared for lizards and rats, too! My life is incomplete without animals in it, and I would love to spend some quality one-on-one time with your furry friend(s)! I also have passed a federal background check. PLEASE NOTE: I generally do NOT accept first-time clients on less than one week's notice, although I am more willing to be flexible on that point for cats.

Sarah has been great watching our cats . She recently watched our one cat ( his sister recently passed) and he was in great spirits when we returned from a king trip. She really interacted and bonded well with him. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah did a really great job with our male cat. He just lost a sibling and was in good spirits when we came home from our trip. Thank you Sarah!

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

I think every animal has a unique something that makes them special! I have a particular soft spot for smushy face types, enormous beasts, and distinguished, elderly gentledogs. I love getting to know new furry friends and finding out what makes them tick!

A typical day

I'm happy to let you and your pet lead the way, finding activities uniquely suited for each furbaby! Does your dog like a calm walk around a quiet part of the neighborhood? Maybe they dig a good frisbee throwing session, or a game of tug! Does your kitty prefer their affection in the form of playtime or scritches? I'm all about finding what works for you and your pet!
