Pet care is a regular and meaningful part of my daily life. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, or evening playtime, I structure my schedule to ensure I’m available when pets need me most. I prioritize consistency, communication, and flexibility, which means I’m able to accommodate different routines. Being around animals every day is not just part of my routine—it’s one of the best parts of my life.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own home by following their usual routines—meals, walks, meds, and play—while giving them comfort and companionship in a familiar space. I treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands.

Information Sarah S. would like to know about your pet

To give your pet the best care possible, I always like to ask about: • Daily Routine: Feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and bedtime habits • Medical Needs: Any medications, allergies, or health conditions I should know about • Behavior & Temperament: Are they shy, energetic, protective, or cuddly? Any quirks? • Socialization: How do they do around other pets, kids, or new people? • Training Cues: What commands do they know or respond to? Any rules you’d like me to follow (like staying off furniture)? • Comfort Items: Favorite toys, treats, or blankets that help them feel safe and happy • Emergency Info: Vet contact, emergency plan, and anything else you’d want me to know, just in case I always aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away!

A typical day

For Dogs: • Fetch, tug-of-war • Training sessions with positive reinforcement (basic commands) • Cuddles and belly rubs for downtime • Doggy photo shoots to share updates with you! For Cats: • Feather wand and laser pointer play sessions • Window watching • Interactive toys to keep them engaged • Brushing and petting if they enjoy it • Creating cozy hideouts and enrichment setups For All Pets: • Calm companionship and bonding time • Customized play based on their personality • Daily updates with cute photos and detailed notes • Ensuring their routines stay consistent and stress-free

Sarah is so sweet and considerate. She was so gentle with my old man, delicately placing him outside during potty breaks! She even brought in my packages!

Sarah is amazing. You can instantly tell she cares about your animals and your home. She treated my animals and home exactly as I would treat them myself, probably even better! She is an absolute gem! She has great communication, respect and provides timely updates and photos. I cannot say enough great things about Sarah. I will absolutely use her again. I felt 100% at ease with her caring for my babies.
