Pet care experience
Pet Sitter with Love for All Life
I've been around animals as long as I can remember, looking after neighbors' dogs and cats. I've cared for pets with a variety of needs including reactive dogs, senior dogs, special diets, and diabetic pets requiring insulin. I also have experience with young puppies and obedience as well as some agility training. During my gap year (2024-2025), I volunteered at three international wildlife centers and a street dog rescue sanctuary in Sri Lanka where I helped administer medicine and take care of dogs in the clinic. At that sanctuary, there were nearly 2,500 dogs in total, with about 500 of them having severe disabilities. I have a strong passion for life in all forms, especially our furry friends who share our homes. (Call me Francis! The app doesn't let me add a nickname haha)

I will follow any special instructions you give me, whether it's specific feeding guidelines, medications to administer or plants to water in your home while you're away!
Ratings and reviews
Wonderful dog walker and pet sitter and a true animal lover! She walked my high-energy beagle/hound twice a week for about six months and even took her running, which she loves! She sends pictures every time, which I really appreciate. And she would give my cat some snuggles and attention, too. I called on her last month to pet sit in my home for several days while I was traveling, and she was awesome. I felt great knowing the pets were getting a lot of attention while I was away, and again, the pictures! Sad to see her leave our area-- she is fantastic!
Sarah is fantastic! She has been my regular dog walker for months (highly recommend!), and she just pet sat my dog and cat at my house for several days while I was out of town. She is so great-- very attentive and gentle with animals. My pets took to her immediately when they first met. I appreciate that Sarah gives me updates and photos and is generally great about communication. I also appreciate that she is so respectful of my home and left it tidy. Do not hesitate to hire Sarah!!!
Sarah did a wonderful job caring for our senior dog and reptiles at our home!
Sarah has been fantastic with our anxious dog. Leo doesn't normally go up to anyone, even if they offer treats. Sarah seems to have won our dog's trust. She even bakes homemade dog treats to gain Leo’s trust and slowly and with lots of patience she is accomplishing the visits with Leo. We are greatly appreciative of all her work. I highly recommend Sarah as a pet sitter. Thank you Sarah!.
I was Sarah's Veterinary Science teacher and she was an exceptional student. In our grooming lab, she was compassionate and patient with even the most challenging dogs. She treated each dog as though they were her own. I would trust Sarah with any of my pets.

Schedule
I'm currently working from home, so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I'm available for drop-ins multiple times per day, and house sitting overnight if you would like.
