As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find the right people to care for our "fur babies". Over the last 13 years, dog walking and pet sitting has become my full-time job. It's a dream come true to care for animals when their humans can't be there.

Outside of regular pet duties (feed, water, play, litter, walk) I can bring in your mail, newspapers, bring in/take out your trash cans, adjust your blinds, turn on/off TV/stereo, adjust lighting, and even water some plans if you like.

You can find me on some of the social stuff and the web by searching Sarah Pet Sits.

I look forward to caring for your animals as I would my own.

Sarah was great! She was very attentive to my kitties and gave me a thorough report each day. I'm so happy I found her!

Thanks to Sarah, we were able to leave town and spend the holidays knowing our boys were being taken care of! We feel so lucky to have found Sarah because she is reliable and trustworthy, and we got that impression from her right away during our meet and greet. We hope she will be available to help us during our trips in the future.

She was great about getting to know our animals before our actual vacation. My cats usually get very upset when we leave but I felt at ease with Sarah taking care of them! 

I hired Sarah to babysit my 2 cats when my husband and I went on our honeymoon.  She did great with both cats, one being sick while we were away.  She also sent pictures while we were gone of the cats so it was nice to see them!  We would still use her if we didn't move to a new area of town!


Sarah is professional, dependable, and my animal companions just love her!  While I was on vacation, she sent me updates everyday and even photos.  She gave them lots of TLC and attention, and although they were happy to see me when I returned, I could tell that they were very well taken care of in my absence.  I am so happy to have someone I can rely on when I have to travel for business or when I take a much-needed vacation!  Sarah is awesome.

I've never hired someone to care for my cats, but I'm in a new city and don't know many people.  Sarah was professional, arrived on time, and took notes on my cats and their habits.  While I was away, she kept informed about what she had done that day as well as sent me photos of the cats.  She took them outside on the porch, hung out with them, and gave them a lot of attention, which is what they crave.  My female cat does NOT like new people and often won't even come out while someone is in the house, but she warmed right up to Sarah as soon as she walked in the door.  I will definitely use Sarah in the future and highly recommend her.

Sarah is wonderful! I needed her on very short notice and she came through and was wonderful. We started to use her on an intermittent basis when we had weekend events and she has been there every time, on time without me having to think twice. When our dog was "kicked out of daycare" for being too anxious, we asked Sarah if she can do weekdays and she now visits our sweet boy 3 days a week! I trust her with my garage code to come right into my house and more importantly to take care of my sweet dog, Cooper! After every visit, I get a text report of what they did and how my dog was and sometime I even get pictures! I highly recommend Sarah!

Sarah watched our two (very high energy) dogs while we were away for a long weekend.  I never worried about them while we were away, I knew they were in good hands after just meeting Sarah once.  She's very professional, thorough, and trustworthy.  She took the dogs on multiple walks each day and played with them and sent text message updates after the last visit each day.  We will definitely be calling Sarah next time we go out of town!

We have a golden doodle named Penny that is full of energy. She loves Sarah. Sarah has been so helpful in letting Penny out and getting her energetic self to calm down a little with long walks and lots of fetch. We have recommend Sarah to several people! She is the best!

Sarah tended to our 4 cats while we were out for a week. Each visit she updated us on our kitties and left a detailed report of everything that was done. Definitely recommend.

Sarah is great to work with!  My dog loves her and she is very reliable and affordable.  I will be using Sarah for all my dog walking needs in the future!

Sarah probably did a better job caring for my cat while I was gone than I do when in town! She was extremely professional, punctual, and detailed in letting me know the status of home while I was gone. Highly recommended.

Sarah took care of our 2 cats for 16 days while we were out of the country.  We could not have asked for a better pet sitter.  One of the cats has been ill for several months and has to take medication on a regular basis.  Sarah had no problem with the medication, and we felt sure that she could have handled any situation which may have come up while we were gone.  In addition to taking care of the cats, she also watered all of our outdoor plants and took care of the mail, papers, and trash.  Sarah kept a detailed record of her visits to our home (2 per day), and she also kept us informed via email and emailed pictures.  She is extremely reliable and capable, and we will certainly have her take care of our two boys again.  We have already referred her to two other pet owners.

My husband and I had the pleasure of Sarah watching our 2 dogs while we were away for the weekend. She went over and beyond in caring for our little guys. We have a dog that is still puppy age and a senior dog. She was comfortable giving them their medicine and taking them on multiple walks! The extra surprise we had when we arrive back home...was that Sarah also is a photographer, and took beautiful photos of our two dogs! We loved this idea! We will definitely use Sarah again!

Sarah is a God-send. We have two kittens that she occasionally sits for while we are out of town. We seriously could not ask for a better pet sitter. The first time we had Sarah watch our kittens, one of our kittens ran into some problems and Sarah took him to the vet, sanitized our apartment, went to the store to purchase medicine that was needed and gave our kitten a bath. She also clipped our other kitten's nails and gave us daily text-up dates. I am 100% certain that as long as we are in the area and Sarah is available we will never use anyone else. She is extremely responsible and helpful. She takes the job seriously. For instance, she made sure to set aside "play time" for our kittens while keeping me completely up to date on what the vet said. Sarah definitely goes above and beyond. All of the chaos was last minute too. So not only is she wonderful and caring but she is flexible as well!

Sarah has cared for my school aged daughters for almost a year now and has helped with my son on an as needed basis.  She picks up my daughters from school, ensures that their homework is done and that their lunch is packed for the next day.  She is extremely responsible and timely and is awesome with my children.  All of my kids love her and she has become a part of our family.  She has also cared our cat and watched our house when we have been aware.  Again Sarah is trustworthy and reliable and I would highly recommend her.

Sarah is incredibly reliable and responsible, which is essential since she is coming over during the day while we are not home.  We have 2 Boxers and 1 Black Lab (and oftentimes times we have a family member's Lab staying with us as well). Sarah comes over each weekday and plays fetch with them so they are worn out when I get home from work.  She also takes care of a large number of daily chores that my husband and I can't get to when we are working a lot (puts the dog beds in the laundry, vacuums up the dog hair, brings in mail, sets the automatic coffeemaker, waters the plants, straightens up the house, cleans and fills the dog pool, sets the garbage cans out on garbage day, washes and brushes the dogs).  She has become an invaluable part of our lives (and our dog's lives!!).  The dogs totally love her!  There have been times that my husband or I have had to stop home in the middle of the day while she was there & we've witnessed how great she is with the dogs.  (Also... the family member's Lab that comes to visit us often gets aggressive with strangers, but NEVER with Sarah.).  
 I've referred Sarah to a colleague of mine whose children Sarah now watches, and my colleague raves about how great Sarah is with her kids.  I've also referred her to our next door neighbors, where Sarah now watches their St. Bernard & takes care of their fish pond.  (They love her work as well!)
