Hello! I am a responsible and reliable full time pet sitter and dog walker! I have a passion for all species and I'm accepting new clients all the time. I've cared for paraplegic, blind, deaf, and chronically ill pets and can give oral, topical, or injectable medications. I also love gardening and hiking in my spare time! My number one goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are well cared for while you are away!

Sarah is absolutely one of the best pet sitters I have had in over 15 years of having pets.  I have two cats and a dog, all three adore her. She takes my dog two times a week for a walk and has stayed overnight with my pets a couple of times.  She is caring, responsible, and communicative.  What I love most it, I know if I am away and something happens, she will treat my animals like her own.  She brings peace of mind. I HIGHLY recommend her!!

Sarah has been our go to sitter for four years looking after our bunny first and now our puppy. She has helped with pet care during major family transitions and helped care for our beloved rabbit when he fell ill just as I was leaving for a long day-trip. Now with our dog, I can see he is living his best life in our absence and I am so grateful. She also looks after your home as if it is her own, keeping you informed through major storm events, etc. I cannot recommend Sarah to enough people. 

Sarah has been such a gift to our family. Every time we go on vacation, we know our dog is in genuinely caring and capable hands. She provides dependable drop-in visits and makes sure our dog gets the exercise and attention she needs, whether through walks or trips to the dog park.

What truly sets Sarah apart is how much she cares. She sends thoughtful photo and text updates that give us peace of mind, and she also keeps an eye on our home by bringing in packages and helping with small tasks like taking out the trash. Because of her, we’re able to fully relax and enjoy our time away.

If you’re looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely animal-loving pet sitter, our family cannot recommend Sarah highly enough!

Sarah is amazing.  I can tell anyone with full confidence that Sarah will react to anything that may happen in your absence the way you hope you would (probably better).  Me and my terrors — I mean angels, have been using her for about 5 years.  We have had tragedy, a UTI and a flood.  She didn’t skip a beat, AND came back for more.  The animals don’t even care that I’m gone.  I get pictures from Sarah while I’m away exhibiting all of the fun they’re having.  She even ordered a pet odor (refer to aforementioned UTI) neutralizer that I had never heard of.  Now I keep some around.  Sarah texted me once and asked if Bernadette could go to a pool party.  I was nervous, but I trust her so I said yes.  Bernadette had the BEST time, and I got the greatest photos.  Sarah injects my diabetic cat with Insulin twice a day, 6:00 a.m. & 6:00 p.m.  brushes everyone, feeds everyone, sleeps with whoever wants her to sleep with them, doles out meds. and gives epic belly rubs.  I couldn’t be happier with everything she’s done for us.  She has gone WAY beyond the call of duty more than once, and we love her.

I have used Sarah’s pet sitting services many times over the past year for my 4 cats. I was really nervous to find a new pet sitter after my move to the area and Sarah does not disappoint. She feeds each kitty a separate diet, give meds to my kitty with a heart condition, has helped to fix their electronic feeders, and spends so much time playing and entertaining them. My cats love her and look forward to her visits, even the most timid kitty. I also love that she sends lots of updates and the best pictures which helps to reassure me that my babies are happy while I’m away. If you are looking for someone to help with your babies, Sarah is the best!

Sarah took excellent care of our sweet boy while we were away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When our sweet boy was appearing nervous during 4th of July, Sarah made sure to comfort him with all the loving and snuggles so he knew he was safe. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. Thank you, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family member!

Sarah is amazing with all manner of pets. She is very professional and responsible.  Her communication is great; she sends daily updates and photos of our cat so we know what’s going on at home while we are away. Honestly, she treats the pets in her care as if they are her own. It’s a huge weight off our shoulders knowing she’s there for our pet. I can’t recommend her highly enough. 

Sarah, aka Auntie Waffle, has been our amazing pet sitter for years! Sarah is very dependable and caring, and puts our stress at ease whether we're away for a quick two night getaway or a two week long Europe trip. I’m very appreciative that she sends us photo updates and is always available when we check in. 

Sarah is very reliable , and has the perfect temperment to handle any kind of dog. She has been my go to dog walker for several years , my dog loves her and his walks with her dogs. Highly recommend! 

Sarah has been an amazing caregiver for a number of our dogs. We had a very reactive dog that Sarah was able to mange him nd provide great care. She has worked with our newest fur baby and share many photos of their activities. You need Sarah to care for your pets. She stays in contact with you. 

We were referred to Sarah by a friend of ours, as we were going on a 10 day trip. We have a number of pets (3 dogs and 3 cats) and wanted some peace of mind about our pets while we were away. Sarah was truly fantastic! She shared photos of each of our pets throughout the trip so we knew how they were doing. 

We have another week long trip and have already secured Sarah for that trip as well. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a caregiver for their pets while they are away!

Sarah is an incredible caregiver with awesome communication and great flexibility. She lovingly cares for our two green cheek conures, corn snake, leopard gecko and bearded dragon while we are away from home. It's wonderful that Sarah has the expertise to care for our big family! I love getting photo updates of them while away, it really puts my mind at ease. She is flexible and responsive to small asks (bringing the bin in if needed). I would absolutely recommend Sarah without hesitation.

Sarah has watched my dog several times over the years. She is extremely patient and kind to her. I actually saw improvements in our dog walking on leash after she pet sat for us. She has stayed over night for vacations and is extremely trustworthy.

Sarah took care of my 3 dogs, numerous cats, watered plants, as well as filled up bird bath and bird food and brought in the mail and packages.  She is very communicative (texts and animal pics at every visit) , which gave me huge peace of mind while being thousands of miles away and no family in town. She is very sweet and kind so I knew all my "creatures" were loved and well cared for.

Sarah is incredibly kind, patient, and professional. I have a fully flighted bird who's very aggressive toward strangers, who also has a complex diet and cleaning routine - but she never stops being sweet to him or giving him a chance! Never intimidated or reactionary toward him biting. I have had to last minute cancel multiple trips Sarah was hired for due to weather etc and she never expressed any frustration, always happy to take the next job (even on short notice.) Your animals are in great hands, and so is your home. She should charge more! ;)

Thank god for Sarah! We were nervous leaving our kitty in someone else's hands but Sarah put or mind at ease instantly. She came to our house to meet us and learn about our cat care needs. When we were away she sent us text and picture updates and went the extra mile to figure out how to get our picky kitty to eat well. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

We have 2 older cats with health issues & we don't travel often. We were very concerned with finding a pet sitter that could administer medicine & police their prescription foods, as well as someone that they would be comfortable around. OH MY GOD! We felt like we won the  lottery with Sarah. Not only did the cats like her immediately, she made sure everyone stayed on the right diet & got their medication. She has excellent communication skills & is very responsive. She alerted us immediately when something was off, and cleaned up a kitty accident before she let us know it happened. I cannot recommend Sarah enough. Extremely organized, reliable, kind, attentive and by the middle of our vacation,  one of the cats allowed her to cradle him like a baby and take a selfie! He lets 3 people do that, and I'm not one of them. She couldn't get a high vote of confidence from our boys. Will definitely hire again!

Sarah has been great with my 2 dogs and 2 cats. Even my particularly picky kitty fell in love with her the first weekend I was out of town. She sends me photo updates, makes sure my old dog gets her meds and always makes time to play. I'm very thankful for her and hope to continue having her care for my fur babies for a long time to come.

Sarah has been an absolute godsend for me In caring for our little guniea pig, Tuxedo.
She is a veterinary student so knows all about the care for Guinea pigs which I found to be not so common in many other pet sitters that I interviewed. Guinea pigs are very shy and little scared animals who don't like to be picked until they get really comfortable with the owner or with people who have a lot of experience in caring for guinea pigs.
Our  little fellow  Tuxedo warmed up to Sarah  the very first day itself as she knew exactly how to pick him up,where he likes to be stroked, and how to make him feel totally comfortable. Then she next came to do nail clipping for him which again she was able to do it so easily while we had been struggling to do it for him for sometime!
This year he had many staycations with Sarah when were finally  able to do some travels out of town because I was totally at ease about him knowing that he was right at home in Sarah's place too! She is our go to person.

We had Sarah come over twice a day to check in on our two cats while we were on vacation.  One of our cats is 18 and needs medication daily.  I appreciated Sarah's daily updates and photos.  It felt so nice to know our old man was being taken care of and that things were OK at home.  Thanks Sarah!
