Pet care experience
Experienced, Reliable Cat Sitter
Hi! I'm Sarah. I grew up with cats and have over 20 years of experience caring for them. A little later on, two adorable golden retrievers joined my family, giving me over 10 years of experience caring for dogs as well. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets who need medication. I've always loved animals, and pet sitting has become one of my favorite ways to spend my time. I enjoy getting to know each pet's personality, building trust with them, and making sure they have plenty of attention, enrichment, and care while their people are away. Whether your pet is outgoing and social or prefers their space, I'm happy to follow their lead and adapt to what makes them most comfortable. I believe trust is earned, not assumed, so I always let animals set the pace and do my best to meet them where they're at. You'll receive plenty of photos and updates throughout your booking, and I'll care for your pets the same way I care for my own: with patience, respect, and lots of attention to their individual needs. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Safety, trust & environment
For me, the fundamentals of a drop-in are relationship building, care tasks, and enrichment. When I arrive, my first priority is making your pet feel safe and comfortable with my presence in their home, and that usually starts with a hello. Sometimes that means a full cuddle session; sometimes it's just a quick sniff before they go back to doing their own thing. Sometimes I won't see them at all for the first few visits, and that's okay too. Whatever your pet's personality, I'll always let them come to me first. Building trust takes patience, respect, and consistency, and I'm there to meet them where they're at. Once we've said hello, I'll take care of the basics: food, water, medication, litter box, potty break, walk, and any other care tasks we discuss at the meet & greet. I'll always prioritize your pet's immediate needs, whether that's attention, playtime, or simply giving them space if they're feeling unsure. My goal is to make sure everything gets done while keeping them comfortable and stress-free. After that comes enrichment—the fun part! Depending on your pet, that might mean playtime, cuddles, brushing, training reinforcement, or simply keeping them company. I'll also take plenty of photos throughout the visit so you can see how they're doing while you're away. The time you've booked (30 minutes, 60 minutes, etc.) is dedicated entirely to your pet's care and enrichment. Afterward, I'll spend a few extra minutes completing a detailed Rover card with photos and notes about our visit. If my schedule allows, I often stay a little longer, though I can't always guarantee it. This is the general framework I follow, but every visit is tailored to your pet's individual needs and personality. My goal is always the same: to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and connected while you're away.
Ratings and reviews
Once again, we just love having Sarah! She is so detailed and responsive and the peace of mind she brings is priceless.
Sarah did an amazing job watching our cat. She's professional, communicative, and really took the time to come over and get know our cat's needs. She's an excellent writer and wrote very thorough updates every time she came over. We loved reading her updates! All in all, we felt very comfortable knowing our cat was in good hands and would definitely choose her again should we need a cat sitter.
I had such peace of mind with Sarah’s care of my cat. Excellent reports each day - super detailed and thorough. It was clear she cares greatly about the service she provides. Will definitely book again!
Sarah is so wonderful! She is incredibly thorough and thoughtful and I feel such peace of mind knowing she is caring for my kitten. I’m so grateful!
Sarah gives wonderful updates and takes great care of the kitties. I don’t worry about them when I need to travel. She has learned their personalities and tailors playtime to both of their needs. I do not have enough words to describe how happy I am that she takes care of them.
Incredible, as always! So detail oriented and meticulously cares for our babies! They love her and so do we
