Highlights
Pet care experience
Hard-working and Open to growth.
I began caring for dogs at the age of 12, which helped me build strong responsibility, patience, and consistency. This early experience sets me apart, as I am attentive to routines, over active dogs, and gentle care for senior dogs.

Safety, trust & environment
To ensure pets’ safety in my home or a client’s home, I maintain close supervision through regular check-ins, active engagement, and playtime. I consistently monitor the pet’s behavior and environment, ensure doors and locks are secure, and follow established routines. I prioritize clear and timely communication with owners if anything unusual or concerning is observed in the home or with the pet.
Ratings and reviews
Sarah did a great job with Jack & Ginger. Both cats clearly felt comfortable with her, as the photo updates showed. This was the least stressed my cats have been at the end of a long trip, I would definitely book again!
Sarah Z. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Sarah was very kind and communicated well, was timely and took good care of our dog :)
Sarah is a friend of mine who has great experience in dog, cat, bird, and fish sitting. I’ve know. Her for around 12 years and she has 100% shown great commitment and responsibility with the animal she has taken care of. She has also shown love and care for the animals she has taken care of and I feel she would be a great pet sitter candidate for your pets!
Sarah has grown up with cats all her life and has had numerous petting sitting responsibilities with several neighborhood families taking care of Dogs and Cats and the occasional fish. She has been dog sitting for over 10+ years with many repeat customers. Sarah loves taking care of the pets and playing with them. She will give each of them loving attention while you are away. You will love her as much as your pets will.
I have known Sarah for over 20 years, and she worked as a dogwalker/pet-sitter for me for several years. I know her to be conscientious, reliable and trustworthy. She is also an animal-lover and any pet would be lucky to have her as a friend!
