About: Hi there!! My name is Sara! 😃 My motto is “Treat every pet like family”. When you love what you do, it shows! 💃🏽 Growing up, I’ve had cats 🐱, a golden retriever 🐕, an aquarium 🐟, an albino frog 🐸, hermit crabs 🦀, hamsters 🐹 and (many) birds 🦜. As a child, I’ve been around donkeys 🫏 in the Azores and have had the opportunity to be around geese 🪿 thru a friend for a few years too! I am Dog/Cat CPR 🏥 trained thru the Red Cross and have a Veterinary Assistant degree while working towards a Vet Tech 🩺 degree too! I own Whiskers and Wings, a business that provides care for your cats, birds, dogs and more! I clip nails, trim wings and beaks, wash/brush your pet, brush teeth/ear cleaning and much more! I have volunteering experience at Full Circle Therapeutic Riding and Treasure Coast Wildlife Center. Si, me hablo español 🇪🇸 y Portugués 🇵🇹 Taking care and having fun with any kind of animal is what I love to do on a daily basis. I’m pretty flexible right now and I look forward to helping your needs with you kiddos. I make it as easy as possible, I come to you! Your pet (or family, right!) can stay at home where they are comfortable. Communication is key and very important, so any details you’d like to share, I accept! :-)

About: I’ve had pets most of my life, and my heart belongs to my two doodles—Phoebe, a 50lb labradoodle, and Faith, a 15lb mini goldendoodle. I understand the needs of both large and small dogs, including exercise, routine, and affection. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable presence and attention to detail—skills I honed during my career in law enforcement. I’m especially comfortable with dogs that need structure or a little extra patience, including seniors or those with unique personalities. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or extended stay, your pet will be in caring, capable hands. I'm retired, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. That means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve—whether it's early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or overnight stays. Your pet’s routine becomes my priority. Safety and trust are top priorities for me. In your home, I always respect your space and follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walking, medications, and comfort needs. I stay calm and attentive, which helps pets feel secure and relaxed. You can count on me to show up, stay in touch, and treat your pet like my own.

“We’ve used Penny for a few weeks and she has consistently shown up on time with flexibility when needed! I highly recommend!”

Family and friends have trusted me to care of their pets and now I’m just branching out to make more furry friends. I am currently an online student for Interior Design. I have finished this semester early, and wanted a part time job to fill in some time! Due to having experience in the Interior Design world I am extremely respectful of my clients homes, as well as their animals. Stepping into a clients home is strictly business.

My two year old has been around furry friends her whole life. We live on Gasparilla Island now so any pets on the island will be easy to let out as often as needed. Pets off the island that are not boarding with us can be let out every 4-6 hours. Although we do not have a fenced yard we will take your pet out for a walk multiple times a day! We have no pets and will only watch one families pets at a time if boarding. If walking we will take them out as often as the heat allows! Happy to take the dog to a park if off island.
