The Perfect Pet Pal!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm an actor in NYC, but am originally from small-town Ohio. My father is a veterinarian, so I grew up with a household full of furry friends and part of my daily chores was taking care of them. My first job was in the clinic's boarding facility, where I walked dogs all day, every day, during the summers. I'm patient with shy friends and committed to letting them warm up to me at their own pace. I also am a firm believer in good behavior and try to ensure that any leash, mealtime, jumping, or house rules are followed. I am able to give oral meds and subcutaneous injections. I have a flexible schedule with both daytime and evening availability. I've also had multiple background checks through my my temp agency and Global Entry program. I have worked with major companies as an Exec. Asst. in their C-suites. I'm communicative, responsible, and will treat your loved ones as if they were my own. I have a higher rate due to the quality of care I provide, and am proud to be able to offer my clients an excellent, anxiety-free experience.

Sarah was absolutely super with my boy cat. She made friends with him right away and provided top notch care! I would definitely recommend her.

Sarah was great! Very communicative, professional, and attentive to the care instructions for Snickers’s walks :)

I believe my cat may prefer Sarah to me. What other sitter would take the time to swap out the toy on the end of a wand to create a new thrill! Sarah is the best and also left my apartment and Gus’s litter box immaculate. Five stars is not enough.

Safety, trust & environment

As you can see, I'm very active and enjoy the outdoors - your pets will never lack for long walks, playtimes, or lots of exercise! I'm an equal opportunity sitter, so cats get just as much love and playtime if they're inclined to do so! I stick to your food and exercise requests, with a few treats here and there if allowed. Please also note that I cannot take very large dogs unless they're well trained. Its for their safety as well as mine. Thanks for understanding!

Information Sarah Y. would like to know about your pet

Whether they're friendly with other pups or not, and any tendencies on walks, such as eating off the sidewalk. Medication needs. I have a thorough list of questions for Meet n Greets!

A typical day

I'm happy to go to your pet's favorite places and throw a ball, move a laser pointer or feathered toy (cat) playing till they're tired out. I'm dedicated to figuring out what they like and adaptable to their needs.

Availability

My apt does not allow pets, which means I'm unavailable to host at my place, but am more than willing to travel in the burroughs for walks/visits/overnight stays. I can feed, medicate, take care of sickly ones and love cuddling if they do! Can also care for additional pets - cats, etc. The more the merrier! Please note that I do not provide constant care (24/7) at my overnight rate. If you would like a sitter to be home 90% of the time, I can generally do that, but my rate will be higher. Right now, house sitting base rates include a dinner/evening walk, staying overnight, and breakfast/morning walk. For multiple days, we can work out some time mid-day, too.
