Pet care experience

Animal Care Pro

I have been pet sitting for many years, typically with friends and family. I have been responsible for cats (domestic & feral), dogs, goats, sheep, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, guinea fowls, fish, bearded dragons, geckos and even a millipede! I have also worked with animals in a professional setting for 14 years and I have some veterinary assistant experience. I’m happy to handle extra tasks such as retrieving mail, watering plants and even some light housekeeping.

Safety, trust & environment

In a clients home, I follow all instructions given in regard to their pets care. I ensure the pet is comfortable with me before any handling or petting. I love to send photos and updates to clients letting them see how their pet is doing.

I cannot say enough positive things about Sarah and the care she has provided for my animals over the years. From medically to behaviorally challenged animals, to aging animals she has exceeded their care and truly cares about each of my animals. She is a wonderful communicator, and will always reach out if she has questions or concerns and I always have peace of mind when I leave my animals in her care. She is the ONLY person I trust with my animals and cannot put into words what she means to me.

Sarah is a wonderful pet sitter! She has cared for my 3 dogs and 3 cats on multiple occasions. When I return, the animals are clearly well cared for. They are happy and not stressed. Sarah is reliable and punctual. Plus she leaves the house looking neat and tidy. I feel grateful and comfortable knowing she is with my fur kids while I am gone. 5 out of 5 stars. The best pet sitter 🐾💕

Using Sarah as your pet sitter means you never have to worry about how your fur babies are being cared for while you are away. She’s incredibly communicative, reliable, and treats every animal like they’re her own. She always goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She’s the first person I reach out to whenever I need someone to watch my little cuties, and I couldn’t recommend her more!💜

Sarah has taken care of my animals for almost 10 years, which includes cats, dogs, and ferrets. She takes care of my zoo as if they were her own! She has dealt with the good, the bad, and the ugly with stride! I would recommend her to anyone! She’s the best and anyone will be lucky to have her take care of their animals.

Sarah is the only person I trust with our pets! She’s amazing. I have 2 large dogs, a few inside cats as well as an outside feral colony I take care of, Sarah does it all! To include capturing kittens that were dropped off in my yard! Sarah trapped them and got them to the spay neuter clinic because we were out of town! She loves our crazy animals which can be very high energy. Even though our yard is fenced Sarah still takes them on walks. She brings them treats and lots of belly rubs. Sarah is a true animal lover. She’s also respectful of my home, the house is typically cleaner than I left it. Sarah is worth every penny I pay her and then some! I should add that Sarah is NOT afraid of spiders either. On a recent stay at my house she found a wolf spider that had babies under a rug and she took care of them without a second thought!

I have a lot of different animals, all with different personalities. Some more difficult to deal with than others but Sarah has shown each of them the same amount of love and care when she watches them. I know my animals are always in good hands with her.
