I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia with cats as pets my entire childhood. I went to college in upstate New York. I later moved back to Atlanta to get my Master's Degree in teaching English. I spent most of my adult life in the San Francisco Bay Area and currently live in New Hampshire with my husband, two children, dog, and chickens. Our cat, Bruiser, passed away last year at the age of 18. I love animals and my favorite charities are those that help rescue or protect endangered animals or animals in need of help and love.
Why I want to house sit
While living in the SF Bay Area, my family and I traveled quite a bit and had to find house/pet sitters frequently. It was often difficult or costly to find someone we could trust with our dog, cat and house. I want to offer the service for free to those who travel, but need someone to look after their place because I understand the need for this service and I want to help. I prefer to housesit if it includes taking care of pet(s) because I always miss my own pets when I'm away from home, animals are wonderful companions and I enjoy getting to know the personalities of the pets I take care of.
My experience
From the age of twelve through my mid-thirties, I took care of my friends' pets, houses (watered plants, took in the mail, took out the trash) while they were away. I was frequently asked to do so because I am very conscientious and responsible. I have my own house and pets now and understand that when leaving one's house and pets in someone else's care, having a trustworthy, reliable caregiver is crucial. I want the house owners to enjoy their travel worry-free and knowing that a loving, responsible caregiver is there looking after their home and pets. I am a meticulous housekeeper and take very good care of belongings as well as, of course, my own pets. I now live in a very rural area in New Hampshire and haven't had any recent housesitting experience. My neighbors are located quite far from my house, but I do raise chickens, take care of their food and water daily, and make sure they are warm in the winter inside their coop. I also walk my dog daily and tend to her when she needs help such as when she had an ear infection and I had to apply the ointment to her inner ear using the tube of medicine. My pets are part of my family and I would treat your house and your pets as I treat my own.

Sarah was PERFECT! Truly. From the first contact to first meeting to loving care of our dog and house to spotless home upon return. We cannot recommend her enough. She is soooo responsible and communicative. And a lovely person!

I have known Sarah since 2009 and she has been a constant presence as her family owned the home I rented and she was my direct contact. She has always been extremely conciencious and kind dealing with the various issues that come up with a rental home, responding with concern and action to get things done. She is smart, friendly and highly responsible.
I would 100% trust her with my child, my pet or my home.- Organised

Sarah is my landlord and is absolutely wonderful! Very dependable and quick to respond to any concerns or questions. Any issues with the house have been dealt with promptly and the property is beautiful! I have met Sarah's dog while they were out for a walk on our road, and could see how great she is with animals. I am looking into getting a dog, and Sarah has been supportive of this and willing to work with us to make it happen! Your home and animals will be in great hands with Sarah :)
