I work full-time, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to step away when needed to care for your pets. I'm committed to giving them the time, attention, and love they deserve, and I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs whenever possible. Caring for animals isn't just something I do, it's something I genuinely love. Whether it's playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. On weekends, I have even more flexibility and can dedicate ample time to your pets based on their needs and routine.

Safety, trust & environment

I will treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I understand that it's not just your house, it's your furry family member's safe space. My goal is to help them feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away by maintaining their routine and creating a calm, positive environment. You can trust that both your home and your pets will be cared for with the utmost respect and attention.

Information Sarah Z. would like to know about your pet

I really like getting to know the dog or cat I’ll be spending time with. Please let me know their temperament and needs, whether that includes food preferences, medication, allergies, or anything else important so I can make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and well cared for

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and preferences. Just let me know what your pet enjoys and we’ll go from there. If your dog is a couch lover I’m more than happy to spend time relaxing with them, offering plenty of cuddles and scratches. For high energy pups I can provide longer walks, trips to local parks, or visits to dog friendly cafés for extra stimulation and fun. For cats I take a similar approach whether they’re affectionate cuddle bugs or more independent and prefer their own space I adjust to what makes them feel comfortable and safe. I have experience with a wide range of personalities and needs in both dogs and cats and I always aim to provide care that fits each individual pet.

Pet care experience

I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As an equestrian, I'm also experienced with large animals and understand the patience, responsibility, and dedication that quality animal care requires. I'm a true animal lover who treats every pet like they're my own, providing plenty of love, attention, and personalized care so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Sarah has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Murphy. He has separation anxiety and can resource guard, so finding someone who truly understands dog behaviour and knows how to work with dogs who have more complex needs is incredibly important to me. She took the time to understand Murphy's personality and made sure he always felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. Rather than expecting him to fit into a routine that doesn't suit him, she adapted to what he enjoys. Murphy isn't a big fan of walks, so Sarah takes him along with her to parks and dog-friendly cafés so he can still get out of the house, experience new environments, and enjoy being outside in a way that works for him. One of my favourite moments was when she took him to Winners and bought him the cutest little turtleneck, then sent me a photo of him wearing it. It was such a thoughtful, sweet gesture that showed how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. I get really worried leaving Murphy in someone else's care but not with Sarah. She gives me peace of mind and always sends me updates about how things are going. Murphy and I adore Sarah!

Sarah has been absolutely incredible with my dog, Hank, and I can't recommend her enough. Hank is a 120-pound Lab/Mastiff mix and the sweetest, most loving boy you'll ever meet. Despite his gentle nature, he does have a few quirks that require someone who is patient, experienced, and attentive, and Sarah has exceeded every expectation. Hank can be reactive on walks, especially around buses, bikes, and certain dogs. Walking a dog his size takes confidence and good judgment, and Sarah handles him so calmly and safely. It's obvious that she understands dog behavior and knows how to manage challenging situations while keeping Hank comfortable and secure. I never have to worry when she's with him because I know he's in incredibly capable hands. He's also a very particular eater and has a habit of turning his nose up at meals. Rather than rushing him or giving up, Sarah is so patient and takes the time to encourage him to eat, making sure he's getting the nutrition he needs. It's those little extra efforts that really show how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. The thing that means the most to me is how much Hank adores Sarah. His excitement whenever he sees her says it all. It's clear that she has built a relationship with him based on trust, kindness, and consistency, and seeing how happy and relaxed he is with her gives me complete peace of mind whenever I'm away. Sarah is dependable, communicative, flexible, and treats Hank like he's one of her own. Whether it's sticking to his routine, managing his unique needs, or simply giving him the love and attention he deserves, she goes above and beyond every single time. Finding someone you can trust with a dog who has specific needs isn't easy, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found Sarah. I honestly couldn't ask for a better person to care for Hank, and I recommend her without hesitation.

Sarah is truly the best dog sitter I could have asked for. My rescue dog, Mila, is from Costa Rica and is incredibly timid and shy. She's very particular about people, so I was amazed when she took to Sarah immediately. I honestly think she loved Sarah from the very first meeting more than she loved me! They bonded right away. I travel frequently for work, often with very little notice and sometimes on weekends, and Sarah is always so accommodating. She took the time to really get to know Mila, understand her quirks, and make sure she felt safe and comfortable. It's clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Knowing Mila is with Sarah gives me complete peace of mind whenever I'm away. I never have to worry because I know she's in loving, capable hands. I honestly don't know what I would do without Sarah, and I can't recommend her highly enough!

Sarah is our go-to dog sitter for our small and large dog. She has looked after them multiple times for a day or longer overnight stays. Our dogs can be a bit difficult/reactive at times and would not do well outside of our home without us - so having Sarah come stay with them in our house has been amazing. She provides regular updates/photos of our pups having a blast with her. She is definitely an animal lover and our dogs get so excited when they see her walking up our driveway. We feel a lot less guilty leaving our pups at home knowing they are having a mini vacation of their own with Sarah!
