About Sara

Experience: 3 yrs

With a lifelong love for animals & over 4 years of experience in pet care, I am dedicated to providing reliable services for pets & their owners. Whether it's daily walks, sitting, or administering medicine/IVs, I tailor my approach to meet each pet's unique needs. My goal is to ensure every animal feels well-cared-for in my presence, giving owners peace of mind while they're away! I'm looking for a job that has clear communication with pet owners, because I value being part of a team that truly cares for animals. I have been working with animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up I had 5 dogs & God knows how many cats. My parents had a registered dog breeding business where I was paid to help birth the puppies, administer vaccinations, & provide a loving environment for them to grow up. As much as I love dogs, I am also a huge cat person! My skills include being on time & staying patient towards difficult animals. In my spare time, I like to run on the beach & sketch!

I cannot recommend Sara highly enough. She is an exceptional pet sitter who went above and beyond in caring for my cat during a very challenging time. Just days before I was set to embark on extended travel, he was diagnosed with renal kidney disease. The thought of leaving him was daunting, but thankfully, I found Sara—and it made all the difference. Sara’s professionalism, responsibility, and deep compassion were evident from the start. She meticulously administered my cat’s medications and provided consistent, loving care. Her dedication was clear in the nightly updates she sent, complete with photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cat is not the easiest to care for; he tends to be standoffish and wary of strangers. But Sara's patience and gentle approach worked wonders. She engaged with him using soothing words and gentle encouragement, slowly earning his trust. Seeing my cat warm up to her spoke volumes about Sara’s kind nature and incredible ability to connect with animals. If you are looking for someone who is responsible, compassionate, and truly dedicated to pet care, Sara is the person you want. She is not just a pet sitter—she is a true caregiver, and I am deeply grateful for the love and attention she showed my cat.
