I will respect your home, your wishes and of course your beloved pet! I’d love to meet your furry friend and see how we can best meet their and your needs.

Information Sarah V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any medications or temperament issues at our meet and greet or beforehand. I have experience with reactive pups so I am prepared to do neighborhood walks only or yards for potty breaks. If you know of any separation anxiety issues with your pet, let me know and I can provide you with updates throughout our time together and will stick to their routine to provide normalcy and comfort.

A typical day

Depending on the activity level of your pet, we can walk the neighborhood if they are up for a stroll or we can go to dog parks that they're used to. Please provide me with their level of comfort with other dogs and if they have specific toys that they like to play with. If we are homebodies, I will use whatever you currently use to mentally and physically exercise your pet.

Sarah was very responsive and kind and took great care of our pets and home. I’m very grateful for her communication and reliability, which gave me peace while we were away. Thank you, Sarah!

Sarah was absolutely incredible with my two boys Astro & Adonis while I was out on vacation for Thanksgiving. My dogs are both super reactive and need very specialized care and Sarah was so amazing at accommodating! I trusted her with walks and all care when she was house sitting. She even left such a nice gift when I came back home from my trip for me and the boys. I would definitely book with Sarah again, she was awesome!!

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my Natasha! Sarah was incredibly attentive, sending regular updates and adorable pictures throughout the stay. My Natasha was clearly happy, well cared for, and comfortable in their home. Sarah went above and beyond to ensure my Natasha routine was maintained, including daily walks and playtime. I’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again—highly recommend! Sarah 🐶✨
