Pet care experience

Loving up your pets with a smile💜

My greatest loves in this world are animals and nature. I enjoy pets of all sizes, I’ve taken care of all kinds of breeds from Rottweilers to Jack Russell Terriers. I’m experienced with all stages of life, I recently lost my amazing 13yo lab/Irish wolfhound mix after raising him from a puppy. I’m comfortable giving medication and light grooming/brushing, but my favorite is getting them outside for some fresh air and exercise. I love caring for cats and plant-babies too!

Sarah and her kids took such good care of Popper! She made sure he got his medicine and lots of cuddles.

Sarah is an animal lover with a huge heart! I’ve been grateful to have her on my team when it comes to loving and caring for my four-legged creatures. Sarah also has her own (giant) dog who has trained her very well!

Sarah is a pleasure to work with! She's extremely communicative and efficient and we trust her completely with our pup. Not only has she walked for us, she's also been great for overnights when we were out of town and it's so comforting to know that our little fur baby is taken care of. Highly recommend!

I’m a freelancer and enjoy taking breaks throughout the day to step away from my computer and get my blood pumping. Making my own schedule means I can be flexible to accommodate your needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m a gentle but firm soul and find a way to connect with a wide variety of temperaments. I’m happy to go slow and meet animals where they are since I know proper care and attention is not one size fits all.

A typical day

I live in a house with a fenced yard in downtown Raleigh with my roommate Nicole who is also a sitter. My kids are in upper elementary and live here 50/50. They are great with dogs and love all the fur babies we get to meet! Our neighborhood is very walk-friendly and the dogs are free to enjoy all areas of the house and plenty of yard time as well. My roommate has a 7 year old Aussie mix who is shy around people but adores other pups.

Let me know if your dog is used to being around kids and other dogs, we tend to have a busy home but can accommodate pups with a need for more space or quiet time as well.
