Highlights
Pet care experience
I've even written a thesis on dogs
There was a point in my life where I had as many as six dogs in my home, so I knew to care for every individual pup, from feeding and walking them to giving them the attention they needed. I also volunteered at the Humane Society one summer, where I walked dogs and cleaned cages during my shifts. This gave me experience interacting with dogs both inside and outside my own home.
Cat care experience
Sarah also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I love to walk outside, so I would happily bring along a pet with me. I would also be able to take dogs to the park if they enjoy that. I like to give pets as much attention as possible, from belly rubs and head scratches to lying on the couch together. I will also make sure your home is just as you left it, if not even cleaner.
Ratings and reviews
Sarah sent us lots of photos and updates to let us know Fenton was ok. Despite me telling her to make herself at home, she & Sadie left no footprint. It was a relief knowing our hound was in good hands in his own home.
Sarah is a wonderful sitter. We have used her services a few times, and we always come home to happy, relaxed and settled dogs. Our house is clean and well looked after. Sarah is communicative, responsible, experienced and has a warm and friendly manner. Our dogs love her. I can highly recommend Sarah!
Sarah took excellent care of my shy cat while I was away. She was attentative and provided photo updates which were always such a reassurance to me. My cat seemed very happy in her company, would definitely reccommend her for anyone looking for a responsible pet sitter.
Thank you, Sarah, for looking after Charlie ; you did an excellent job looking after him, keeping me up to date with photos, and making a great start on cleaning up after his wee accidents ; he was a bit slow saying hello to me when I got home, probably looking for you instead! I’ve no plans to be away again soon, but will keep your details for when something does crop up. Very best wishes, Jill.
Sarah looked after our cat Ziggy for a long weekend. She provided regular photos and updates and got on great with him. Ziggy was his regular playful self when we got home and seemed to have enjoyed his time with Sarah. I would highly recommend Sarah for petsitting. Thank you Sarah!
Sarah is a fantastic dog and house sitter. She looked after our two dogs while we were away and they were happy, cared for, and very settled when we returned. She was communicative, prompt and brilliant with a nervous puppy and an older beagle. Could not recommend highly enough!

Schedule
Pet care fits into my daily routine as I currently have my own tripod girl. She was rescued from a very neglectful situation, as she used to be left in a cage for 12+ hours. I have had the best year of my life giving her the life and love that she deserves. I also had a pet bunny whose litter box I change every day and who I feed every morning. He is now safe in the US with my close friend’s parents, as I didn’t want to stress him out on my long move to the UK. Now I am in Edinburgh getting my Master’s degree. Outside of classes, I have ample time to study while spending time with my dog. I would also have plenty of time to take your dog on walks or even just to check that they are okay. While I would ideally love to housesit for an animal that is okay with my small dog, I can make exceptions as I live with family who would happily watch my dog while I give yours attention! *I do NOT bring my dog along to drop-ins or dog walks, and I don’t bring her to housesit without a meet and greet first*

- Let me know if your dog has any particular allergies, whether they’re allowed on furniture, how they may interact with other pets, and how often you want a status update!
