Ready to be your pet’s new BFF!
Pet care experience
I adore all pets, have two cats myself, and will love your pet and care for it as much as I love my own! I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish, and more for over 15 years, from providing walks and playtime to giving prescribed medication to senior dogs and cats. I have provided in home care, including regular walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays.
Reviews
Sarah is the best. My cats love her and enjoy her coming to visit. I’ve booked her numerous times and would definitely recommend her for pet care!
My cats love Sarah! They’ve come to expect her visits whenever we go away.
My kitties love Sarah, she is great with them and very responsive when I contact her :)

About Sarah W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When meeting, I prefer to let the pet first approach me and sniff, while talking to them in a kind, soothing voice to ease any fear or anxiety the pet may have. I love giving cuddles and pets but will follow the pet’s lead on how much attention they want. I ensure safety at every turn, preferring to walk dogs in residential neighborhoods or parks if at all possible. I am incredibly conscientious and make sure all doors and windows are securely closed and locked before leaving a home.
Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your dog’s leash manners and if there are any specific commands I should use with them. I’d also appreciate info on any dietary or medication needs for both dogs and cats, as well as how they respond to both people and other animals.
A typical day
I love to play with both dogs and cats, using the toys they love the most. I also love to give lots of attention - pets, ear scratches, and cuddles - but only if the pet wants it. I won’t force cuddles on a pet that is unsure, but I can usually win them over by the end of the stay. I enjoy taking dogs to dog parks to let them run around - so please let me know if there are any dog parks nearby that your dog loves!
