Pet's Have Feelings Too :)

Pet care experience

I get it's hard for pets when their owners are gone for a little while. That's where I can help make it a little easier on them, and you. My boyfriend Roy and I are a team now. He as well loves animals and has a ton of experience with all sorts of them. I am a lifelong animal lover. I love taking the dogs for walks, or playing catch with them if they are the more active sorts of dog. If they prefer sitting on the couch for petting, that works for me too. They all have their different personalities, part of what makes pet sitting so fun for me. I currently have one kitty. Alice is such a sweetheart. I adopted her in July of 2019, at her young age of 15 years. I am considering getting another kitten in the future, but for now, we are a happy household of 1 pet. I also dabble in art, hiking, enjoying nature, cooking, gardening, and reading. I have tons of experience with all sorts of animals: cats, dogs, small and furries, reptiles, fish, and arachnids. I'd love to come to your home and take care of you fur (or not so furry) babies. I can also do things around your home such as watering plants, bring in mail/newspapers, other light chores that need to be kept up with while you're away. Why I love pet sitting I've been a pet lover as long as I can remember. We had a dog growing up, who to this day, is still the best friend I've ever had. And I have always had cats in my life. I do pet sitting for my parents and friends when they are out of town. Pets are not only just adorable, but are so heartwarming and calming to the soul to be around. We are lucky to have them in our lives. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering pills or other oral medication. I am not comfortable with injections. I should note, I do have some health issues. I will probably ask some questions, and will never take a job I feel wont be a good fit for me or for the animals. Having Roy with me also is a huge help with the energetic furry family members. For stays longer than a week, or long term/permanent walks or check ins, we can discuss a discount rate.

Sarah and Roy are amazing, they sent daily updates and photos. Our house was clean, garbage was empty and bed was remade with clean bedding, and best of all Chica was happy... We couldn’t be happier... We think they are the Best and we can’t Thank them enough ?

Sarah did a wonderful job dog sitting for me at my house. She took my dog for regular walks, sent me lots of pictures, communicated well with me and took great care is my house, even sanitizing surfaces before she left due to COVID. She also watered my plants on my patio. I highly recommend her!

I am so happy with Sarah's care for my dogs and my house over this past weekend. I am extremely impressed with the care she provided--I came home to a clean house and happy dogs. The dogs acted like I was only gone a few hours! Sarah even washed the towels and sheets and remade the bed!! I highly recommend her and I will be happy to book her again in the future.

Sarah was absolutely amazing with my 3 kitties! To say I'm a picky cat mom would be an understatement, but Sarah went above and beyond to give my boys the love and care they needed. She even went out of her way to pick up more food for them when we were running low. Lots of pictures and updates everyday. Sarah was also always very friendly and caring, I would absolutely recommend her to any of my friends or family. Will definitely rebook with her when we go out of town again!

Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences. But, I would like to know the personality of the dog. Is the dog leash/potty trained? I can work with dogs that are learning potty training, but that is something I'd like to know in advance. I'd like to know if your pet is currently on flea treatment. As I work with sometimes multiple households on the same day, it's important to know if fleas could possibly be a concern. No judgement, but as fleas will stick to anyone and will travel from one place to the next, just trying to protect all animals I work with. I can simply change my clothes if there are any concerns from one home to the other. If I will be taking the dog out, I need to also know how your pooch reacts to other dogs/wildlife/humans. Safety is first and foremost on the importance scale.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your pet Depends what you need. We can go for walks, throw toys around, cuddles, whatever it is your pet prefers. I do have a full-time job during the week. But weekends and after work, I have plenty of time to give your pet the love it needs. Extra house-sitting services For sure! Whatever things need to be done,just let me know.
