Happy Pets = Happy Pet Families

Pet care experience

I’m a Cat Lover! I grew up in a cat loving family and have had many kitties over the years. Cats tend to really like me, and stray cats like me best of all. :) My cats have had all kinds of personalities... from assertive to extremely shy. So, I know kitties! I’m a Dog Lover! We have an adopted greyhound mix from the Humane Society. She can run and run and run. We also added a puppy to our family last fall who brings plenty of sugar and spice to our family. Cat Lover + Dog Lover = Animal Lover I know how important daily interaction is for our pets… especially when things are different than normal. I love spending time with animals and would love the opportunity to get to know your pets.

Another wonderful pet sitting weekend from Sarah. She takes such good care of our fur babies and they love her so much. We don’t want to use anyone else. This trip we had an unexpected delivery of very heavy metal rods for a vehicle repair and to our amazement Sarah actually lifted them off the front porch and safely stored them in our garage for us. I felt bad because they were so heavy but that was really nice of her! She also brought in our recycling bin. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah did a fantastic job taking care of my furbaby cat named Monkey. After each visit I received a detailed report of how she was doing and lots of pictures. On a few visits she read books to her to ensure she was relaxed and getting lots of attention! Sarah left a handwritten report of each visit, which I loved reading. I 100% would recommend Sarah and plan to use her for future visits.

Another great drop in service from Sarah! We don’t even look for any other sitters, we just book straight with Sarah and pray she has the availability. She’s amazing with my 3 cats. They LOVE the playtime with her. Sarah brings all her cool toys & games they don’t normally get to play. I’m back home now after my trip and my orange cat Gingerbear who loves to play & fetch seems almost sad she’s not visiting him anymore now that I’m home. lol! I definitely leave out of town knowing these cats are loved. Thank you Sarah!

I will spend time with your pet in the comfort of his or her home. I will do the things your pet likes best: lots of pets, brushing, playing with toys, lap sitting.... I love the fact I'll be sending pictures of your pet while you are gone. As a pet owner, it's important to me to know how things are going back home.

Information Sarah T. would like to know about your pet

It's important for me to know these things about your pet (cat or dog) before I start pet sitting. 1. What does your pet really like and dislike? 2. If you'd like your dog to go on a walk, what can I expect? 3. What are the best things I can do for your dog/cat to help your pet be as content as possible during your absence? 4. Will your pet try to escape when I open the door?

A typical day

I feel like the best thing I can do while you are away is to provide companionship for your pet. When I visit your pet, I will talk to your cat or dog and do the things you know that will help your pet feel comfortable.
