Availability

Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Right now, I’m taking one online class over the summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. Because of this, I’m able to consistently check in, provide walks, playtime, feedings, and spend quality time with pets without feeling rushed. I can easily adjust my day to match your pet’s normal routine and give them the attention they deserve. I’m used to structuring my schedule around animals from my experience with fostering and dog walking, so caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s something I prioritize.

Safety, trust & environment

The way I care for pets depends on the service and what makes each animal most comfortable. In my home, pets have a calm, spacious environment to settle into. I live in a large house with a backyard, which is great for dogs who enjoy getting outside, playing, or taking breaks throughout the day. I do my best to keep their routine consistent with what they’re used to at home including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I also make sure the space is clean, safe, and low-stress so they can feel relaxed while they’re away from their owners. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walking, litter box or yard care, medications if needed, and any specific habits your pet is used to. I also make sure to spend quality time with them so they still get attention and companionship while you’re away. In both settings, I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication. I understand how important it is to know your pet is being well cared for, so I’m always happy to provide updates and photos to keep you informed and at ease.

Reliable, attentive pet sitter

Pet care experience

I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I provide care to ensure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I have experience administering medication, reinforcing training, and offering plenty of playtime and affection. You can trust me to treat your pet like my own!

Sarah was very responsive when coordinating drop off and pickup for our daycare. Our pup came home both days completely wiped out from all of the activity (in a good way). I would definitely book Sarah again if we need daycare in the future!

I’ve never seen someone care for animals the way Sarah does. She has shown me countless times how much she loves and respects all animals. As a person and pet caregiver, she is patient and always puts the needs of others before herself. Whenever I need someone to take care of my pup, she is the first person I go.

In the three years I have been neighbors with Sarah Thomas, I have known her for her attentiveness and caring for animals. She consistently displays a deep seated passion for animals from all walks of life, and this passion is reflected in her care of animals. She has provided pet care for her family animals, as well as a variety of fosters throughout the years, including both dogs and cats. On various occasions she has pet sat my 1 dog and 2 cats, and I know I can trust her in any situation that may arise. I do not take the care of my animals lightly, but would always turn to Sarah to provide trustworthy, responsible, and loving care. I would highly recommend her for this role!
