Sarah & Xavier looked after Kristine’s pets

Sarah has cared for my beloved hearing service dog, Jasper a black lab for over 8 years. I absolutely knew that Jasper would be well cared for and loved when he was with Sarah. It brought me much comfort leaving Jasper with Sarah and her family. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. I received many updates and adorable photos while he was in her care. Jasper passed away recently and Sarah shared many beautiful photos over the years. It was fun to relive all of the memories and warmed my heart that Sarah and her family loved Jasper as much as I did. I would highly recommend her as a petsitter and would trust her with my home as well.

Why we want to house sit

We love house sitting and taking care of pets and plants while exploring new places. We have had many pets over the years ranging from cats to bearded dragons to lizards to dogs. Our children and we have fostered dogs for the past six years
