Pet Sitter in Saint Paul, Minnesota

I'm an
Individual
Hello! I would be honored to be trusted with your beloved pets! I have over 15 years of experience looking after pets, including special-needs and exotic pets. The animals that I have taken care of include: dogs, cats, 8-foot-long boas (smaller snakes, too!), horses, swine, salamanders, a variety of lizards, guinea pigs, mice, rats, chinchillas, rabbits, doves, ferrets, a variety of parrots, sugar gliders, budgies, turtles, fish, tarantulas, iguanas, and more! I do also board animals, but please note that I board caged animals only. I have 2 cats of my own, so boarding a cat or a dog at my place wouldn't work. However, I can board any animal that is caged! As an example, I'm currently boarding 3 chinchillas (two of which are in the pictures), a tarantula, and an adorable guinea pig. The chinchillas and guinea pig all get daily floor time and cuddles. I have great references to give you peace of mind! I am adept at administering medications to many different species, both oral and injections. I work with and have worked with many different special-needs animals. If you're looking for an experienced pet-sitter that won't break the bank, let me know! I am more than willing to negotiate prices depending on the duties you need performed. I know that pet care can get expensive fast, and providing affordable, high-quality pet care is important to me. To give you an idea of my pricing, my average charge for a visit starts at $10-$15, depending on the pet(s). I know it can be nerve-wracking hiring someone off of the Internet to care for your beloved pets. If you want to get to know me a little more, you can find me on Rover, Care *******, and YouTube! To find me on YouTube, type in "Sarah M - Why We Care" and it will be a video from Care. There's also a link to an article with more information on my background that you can find in the description of the video. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets!

I've had Sarah as my go-to pet sitter for about 3 years now. My household includes 2 terrier mixes, 3 cockatiels, a cat, an orange baboon tarantula, and an alpine newt. Sarah has always taken such great care of my animals and is incredibly knowledgeable about different species' needs. Our hyper terriers are always well-exercised and well-loved, which is really nice after getting back from a vacation. I have a lot of anxiety leaving my pets in someone else's care, but Sarah gave me so much peace of mind. She checked in everyday with us and sent us pictures with every visit, which helped me enjoy my time off and not spend it worrying about how my animals were doing. You can tell that she truly loves and really cares about the animals she looks after; her eyes just light up. If you hire Sarah, you can be sure your pets will be well-cared for.

I've had Sarah as my dog sitter for the past year and a half now, and I wish I would have found her sooner. I have a 110-lb Great Pyrenees, a 50-lb German Shepard, and a 12-lb chihuahua mix. As you might now, both Great Pyrenees and German Shepards need a LOT of exercise. I know that when Sarah is looking after my dogs, they're going to get the amount of exercise that's right for them, and they'll get plenty of love. My chihuahua is older and needs gentler exercise than my other two dogs, and Sarah is fantastic at accommodating that. She also sends me pictures after every visit, which is much appreciated! You can tell she loves all animals, even though my shepard can be kind of a pain in the butt sometimes. She has so much patience and understands dogs' behaviors so well. I can't recommend Sarah enough.
