About
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 nine 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 pay me via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, cash, or check.
I look forward to caring for your animals as I would my own.

Sarah PetSits does an AMAZING job and has helped us so much. We would highly recommend Sarah for any petsitting you need. Sarah is professional and handles and does a wonderful job. We have several pets that need medicine and require special attention and Sarah handles everything so well. We can leave home knowing our pets are in good hands and don't have to worry when Sarah is taking care of them.

We needed a sitter for our cat at the last minute. Sarah was very responsive and came for a face to face and to meet Rusty, diva cat, and made us feel comfortable that she would be in good hands. We received daily photos which put our minds at ease. We will definitely be using Sarah again!

Sarah is a wonderful pet sitter! She looks after my two cats by feeding them, changing their litter, and even administering medication for the one. The boys love her and she’s always sure to send great pictures. You can always trust that your pets are in good hands with Sarah!

Sarah did a great job in caring for my 2 cats while I was away on a week of vacation. She even identified a leak in my back bathroom, while I was away. She sent pictures of the leak and my cats, so that I could relax and enjoy my vacation.

It’s been a pleasure getting to know Sarah and having her take care of our two cats. She is very caring and professional. It gives us peace of mind to go away and know that the pets are well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her petsitting service to anyone!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do offer a free visit with each referral.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My typical process working with a new client is to set up a Meet and Greet. This is where both the client and I have a chance to meet, as well as the clients pets, and determine if we are all a good fit for each other. Generally, the Meet and Greet takes place in the potential clients new home, but it can also take place in a public setting if the potential client feels more comfortable. During the Meet and Greet, I will gather information that I need in order to care for a potential clients pets in their absence. It is also an opportunity for the potential client to ask any questions they may have for me.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Like many others, the Great Recession impacted my corporate career.
While looking for a job in my field, pet sitting was something I started to do just to get me out of the house and provide me with something to do.
I quickly realized that spending time this way was not only less stressful and intensive, but something I really loved and enjoyed.
