Pet care experience

Life-long pet owner and caretaker

Hi! I’m Sarah, a Vermont native, University of Vermont graduate and full-time dog mom to two 90 pound labradors, Lincoln & Fudge. Growing up I had cats, a rabbit and a dog; and my extended family had dogs as well, so having 3 big dogs in our house was normal. I love dogs and cats, although I am mildly allergic to cats (that's why I can't take cats to my home to watch). I promise if you allow me to care for your pet I'll do the best job I possibly can. Thank you for your time, I hope to hear from you soon! *all photos are of my own pets, I would never post your babies without your consent*

Sarah was terrific with Brody, very patient and kind with our elderly guy! She stayed in regular contact with us throughout the weekend, was very responsive and took good care of our home. We would recommend Sarah!

Sarah has taken Remi for two walks recently and is wonderful with her! Remi is a rescue with her own particular issues and Sarah is patient with her, gives me updates and pics of their time together . Already booked Sarah for house sitting for our upcoming vacations 😊

Drop-In Visits • Mar 20, 2026

Sarah was amazing!! She provided wonderful care for my 13-year-old dog, visiting four times a day to walk her, manage her picky eating, and administer daily medication. All while giving her lots of love and snuggles:) Sarah’s proactive updates, photos, and FaceTimes gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the care she showed that my girl was in excellent hands. I highly recommend Sarah’s services to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and reliable sitter! And I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!

Sarah did a great job watching our pets while we were out of town! She's available on weekdays and weekends, and is an excellent option. Everyone was so chill and relaxed when we got home - perfect!

Sarah is AMAZING! She was extremely flexible with start and end times. I appreciated that she came over to meet the boys prior to the dates I needed her to watch them. She sent pictures throughout the weekend and kept me updated on how things were going. I would definitely recommend her, and will be rebooking with her in the future! Thank you, Sarah!

Just moved back to Vermont, and I’m available full time. I take my own dogs out quite frequently and would do the same for yours.

Safety, trust & environment

I love to care for animals big or small, fluffy or furry. I can provide multiple walks or even trips to the dog park if your dog is used to going. I love giving pets and love and can’t wait to take care of your baby. I can also of course take care of plants/mail/light cleaning if you’d like.

Pets

A typical day

I love to take dogs on long walks at the park or to the beach. My son especially loves the water (he’s a lab) and so we try to visit the beach or go hiking as much as possible.

For the most part they’re easy-going dogs. Will play at the park but are also happy to lay on the sofa with you. They’re strong and might pull a little on walks but nothing a stern “no” can’t fix. Lincoln’s a little psychotic and hates birds, planes and most things with wheels (he will bark and lunge, that’s your warning) so just be careful on walks or if he’s off leash. But overall he’s a baby and just wants love. Fudge is just happy to be included.
