Pet care experience

Experienced homeowner & pet lover.

As a busy coffee shop manager, mother of 2 adult children , former medical care coordinator in mental health and companion of a 14 year old dog, I can promise you your pet and home will be in loving hands. I am comfortable with most ranges of pets and enjoy high energy pooches. I am adaptable and willing to learn what will make your companion thrive while you are away. I have taken care of multiple pets over the years including a dog that was blind and another who had medical complications. My own rescue dog struggles with thunder, loud noises and balloons 🤣. You can be assured your pet will be taken care of with love and patience. My pup will stay home with his older brother while I pet sit, so your animals receive my full attention. If booking for an overnight sit, I do work away from the home up to about 8 hours a day. If the home is 20 minutes from Waterbury, I am happy to pop in mid shift to do a potty break. Accommodations can also be made to have two days off scheduled for the sit. I have experience with dogs, cats, poultry, indoor birds, rabbits ( I am allergic but if they have their own room we are good) and open to new animals. Sorry no snakes. I'm on Instagram (green.mountain.tails) and TikTok at (green_mountain_tails) if you would like a general idea of me and the pets I have been able to enjoy.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In addition to loving going for walks, I am able to follow specific requests that are more personalized for the pet and the homeowner.I bring a gps tracker for the dogs or flight risk cats. Your pets safety is my top priority. Whether that be specific times for walks, cleaning up the litterbox multiple times a day, oral and injectable medications or unusual feeding routines, I've got you covered. I am there for your pet and take that seriously. If it is a day off work, that day is tailored to your pet. That looks like a beach day, hike it the woods, cuddles on the couch or going to the dog park. What ever will make their tail wag. I am also very communicative regarding either the schedule, what we are up to and letting you know about your pets well being. Lots of pictures, communicating the daily activities and peace of mind while away.

Sarah patiently wooed our shy kitty Oatmeal on her very first visit, and she came around! I think they’re going to be great friends, and we’re so pleased.

Sarah has gone out of her way to take care of my senior dog . She follows my directions for him well, and is kind. He is a sweetie and I would never leave him with just anyone. Sarah goes out of her way to come where and when needed! Charlie and I recommend Sarah! 🐾

Sarah was wonderful and so responsive. It was our first time leaving our dog for an extended amount of time, and she was so accommodating and provided a wonderful experience. Looking forward to having her again!

Sarah had the rare ability to communicate with both dogs and their humans. From the first minute she takes command of the situation with ease and friendliness that makes everyone feel this is a perfect match! I would highly recommend her for short and long stays. Our two labs go crazy when they hear her call their names. Best of the best!!

Schedule

I currently work 40 hours Waterbury, VT. If the stay is local, I can adjust my schedule as needed though there may be a day I need to be gone about 8 hours or so. If looking for a walk or drop in the schedule here doesn't always show availability well so please reach out. I have three pets that are getting walks multiple times a week and we can see how to fit you in. If with in a ten minute radius, walks and check ins are available for stays or drop ins. I truly love going for long walks in the morning and afternoon. If you have a feline companion, we know it is all about their schedule and will be mindful of keeping the quirks and timing on track.

I typical stay close to the home I am pet sitting in but enjoy taking dogs to the beach or other hiking spots. Love to know how they do for car rides. Flight risk doggos are always leashed and gps tracker on their collar as I don't want any problems or fears from parents while away. I would also love to know your communication preferences. How often you would like check ins and of course photos of the dogs experience.
