Hi, I’m Sara.

I bring 25+ years of hands-on pet care experience to every visit. I know how stressful it can feel to leave pets behind, especially senior pets, anxious pets, and pets with very specific routines.

I take notes carefully, send updates, and try to keep things as normal as possible while you are away. From the first hello to the last visit, you book directly with me.

  • Meet-and-greet available before first booking
  • Photo or text updates while you are away
  • Medication support when arranged
  • Experience with birds, reptiles, fish, senior pets, and anxious pets
  • Same caregiver each visit
  • Emergency contact and access notes confirmed before care

Why pets stay home

Their favourite place
is already home.

Instead of going to a kennel, daycare, or boarding space, their food, smells, toys, litter, beds, walking routes, and routines stay the same. That can make travel easier for you and calmer for them. Visits at home are not continuous supervision; for a dog who needs company all day, we should discuss whether the visit schedule is suitable.

Kind words, happy homes

Peace of mind.
In their own words.

I couldn't have asked for better. Thank you so much.
