Highlights
Pet care experience
Sitter with Love to Spare!
Hello! I started pet-sitting seriously in graduate school and had a consistent base of clients for two years. Later, I volunteered at a local humane society where I cared for and interacted with cats and dogs multiple times a week, for three years. This experience taught me a great deal more about dogs, including behaviors, breed traits, and exercise needs. While it's not my profession, animal care-taking has definitely become my passion! I treat every animal exactly how they want to be treated. Sometimes that is a lot of love and affection, but sometimes there are cats who like their distance! Whatever your animal needs, I'm happy to accommodate them.

Safety, trust & environment
It's an honor to have a key to someones home and to be trusted to care for their animals, and I take this very seriously. I am a guest in your home, but in that time your pet is family to me. I always make sure to leave a home neater than I found it, and will double, triple check that all is as it should be before I depart.
Ratings and reviews
Saraphina is, by far, one of the most extraordinary people on the planet. Honest, responsible, brilliant and so loving and gentle. Funny! She treats pets like people and has taken care of my old Basset on many occasions. Leaving my dog and house with her made my life very relaxed, as I knew all would be well with Saraphina in charge. A pleasure to know her and to recommend her to anyone and for any pet or chore. An all around great girl.
Saraphina came to my rescue when I became a new mom. Having her experienced help alleviated stress and allows me to focus on my newborn. From day 1 it was obvious she knew a lot about dogs AND, that she'd update me regularly regarding Timbo's behavior. A true professional, she is reliable and organized and I'm lucky to have found her!!

Schedule
I have an extreme flexible schedule, and I can help with mid-day walks as well as routine AM/PM visits. I’m happy to accommodate last-minute needs or become a regular helper.
