Sarah does an outstanding job of bonding with your pet and supporting all their needs, and yours. I have never had a pet sitter as supportive and attentive to detail as Sarah. She treats your pets as you would, and provides excellent updates.

Your "kids" don't ask for much: Just some time, sweet talk, a space of time on the back porch, brushing (those who allow it!) and play. Oh! And "Keep the kibble coming, Sarah!" Thanks for the lovely words. The check is in the mail! ;-D

My husband and I are fortunate to have found Sarah Taylor. We are very particular when it comes to pet care. Sarah is detail oriented and dedicated to her job. It is nice to leave for a trip knowing that our cat will be well taken care of. We would not know what we would do without her. Anita Rhodes

Two of the loveliest and most generous people I have ever met. Even if your cat hated me, I'd come running...well, walking fast. Luckily, I have won her over with fresh nip and our game of "treat hockey."

I feel very comfortable leaving my pets in Sarah's care. She goes way beyond what's expected. She will medicate when needed, and gives them all so much attention. I think my dog prefers Sarah over me. I would recommend Sara to everyone.

I think L. just likes having company who is *not* Mommy or Daddy! She doesn't mind having sleepovers with her buddy, Apollo, either. We have lots of fun - running to Poplar Grove or just hanging out in the back yard, playing ball. The cats don't suffer, either. They know that lots of love, brushing (except Kilgore!) and treats are to be had, when Sarah's around.

Sarah is a wonderful pet sitter, and my pets love her! I can depend on her, and don't have to worry about my pets when I am working a long shift or need to go out of town. She is dependable and her prices are very reasonable. especially with the time she spends with my pets on each visit. I highly recommend her.

Thanks, M! I am so glad you found me! Your kids are great and you're great, too!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I provide a one-hour first consultation, free-of-charge. This is the "meet and greet" time for all of us to determine if we are all (client, pets and sitter) a good match. I will chat with the pet guardians, play with the dogs, touch noses with the cats - anything appropriate for each case, in order to get to know them all. The clients tell me what they feel their pets need and I explain the services I provide. At that time, the client and I read an overview of my contracts, whether it is for a brief vacation or business trip, weekly dog walking, or long-term care, and determine how best we can work together. During my visits, I write a daily log of activities and note any interesting anecdotes from each visit. I text my client, at the end of each visit, if I am providing a mid-day/mid-shift break for their pets, or at the end of each day, if I am taking care, while the client is out of town.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been pet sitting since I was a teen. I wasn't keen on child care. But, I loved animals and cared for some of my neighbors' pets. I got back into it, just after college, continuing to provide pet care, in a very restrictive basis, until I moved to Wilmington. It took me a number of years to try again, as I had pursued a different path. When I realized I missed my joy, I returned to pet sitting and have been doing what I love, ever since.
