Information Sarah V. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know if your fur baby has any special needs or anything that needs some more attention and nurturing. I am open to caring for any fur babies.

A typical day

Love the outdoors and taking doggies outdoors. We walk, run, smell, interact with other doggies and people, depending on their comfort levels. Spend time resting and stimulating their brain and body indoors too with other activities <3 & with kitties just playing indoors and spending time with them.

Pet care experience

I am a warm and genuine person. I do not take the trust of your home and/or pets lightly. It is an honor and privilege to be able to care for your babies. I believe that animals are sacred beings that deserve all the care and love in the world :)

Sarah was a lifesaver! I was stressed out trying to find a solution when my pup got sick shortly before a work trip and couldn't use his usual boarding facility. Sarah responded quickly, was attentive and carefully followed all my care instructions, and sent frequent updates and cute photos while I was traveling, letting me rest assured Coco was in excellent hands. It's clear she really loves dogs and went above and beyond to provide Coco a home away from home. Thank you so much!

Sarah is amazing! She looked after our 2 kitties for almost a week and was perfect. Very regular schedule, followed our feeding instructions exactly, and stuck around to play and cuddle with them. Also kept us updated throughout the day and was in constant contact. We felt safe and confident to leave knowing that our beloved cat friends were in such good hands.

Sarah did an amazing job caring for my very senior dog, who is on several medications. She even figured out a better way to give one of the more difficult medications. She took beautiful care of our home and kept me up to date frequently on how my dog was doing. She went above and beyond and I am incredibly grateful. I will definitely be asking her back. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
