I am a teacher, so during the school year I am gone from 7:30-3:30ish) depending on the day. Summers and holiday breaks I am free. So pets that are kenneled during the day inside or are okay being free in the fenced backyard during the day work great. There would be afternoon and evening walks and plenty of play time in the backyard.

A typical day

During a work week, most of the activity would be done in the late afternoon / evening. They would get a brief walk in the morning. After work they can enjoy long walks, playing around in the backyard, and visits to the park. While at home, there would be lounging, snuggles, and lots of pets.

Walker and belly rubber enthusiast.

Pet care experience

I’m a single mom of 3 boys who has been around and grown up with animals my whole life. After the birth of my 3rd son, my chihuahua passed away from old age and then a year after that, my cat also passed away from old age. So for the first time in my life, I didn’t have pets of my own. Since then I have taken care of my friends’, family’s, and neighbors’ pets while they go out of town. I enjoy playing and walking with pets and giving them tons of love and snuggles. My kiddos love pets, as well. We are just trying to figure out when to bring a new one into our own family.

We got so lucky to find Sarah! She is honestly the best dog sitter we have ever had. She took amazing care of our very active Izzy…multiple walks per day, play time in her beautiful backyard, and even brought her dog bed into her room at night. Sarah is a rare gem and our go to sitter from now on. Thanks so much Sarah!!!

Sarah was great with Waffles! She was extremely responsive whenever I reached out and sent pictures and updates regularly. He had zero problems settling in and feeling at home and came back home clean and happy! I will definitely reach out to Sarah first the next time I am looking to book a place for Waffles.

Daisy was in great hands with Sarah. I was kept up to date with pictures and video. She was also very considerate about my requests for feeding and things to keep an eye on. I would definitely want Daisy to stay with her again.

Sarah was great. I appreciated just how dog friendly her house was. I also enjoyed the frequent photos she sent. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her again.
