Hi my name is Sarah, I absolutely love being around kids and helping them learn and navigate through everyday life. I love creating a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for both kids and parents! I have experience caring for children of different ages and I’m comfortable helping with pick-up, play time, homework, and light housekeeping. My goal is to provide attentive care while making sure your children feel safe, loved, and engaged. I am certified in both CPR and first aid. I also have a well maintained car (2014 Subaru Outback) that is up to date with maintenance. I also have experience with special needs! My little sister has down syndrome so I’ve been around special needs my entire life and not just Down syndrome but Autism as well!
Hi! My name is Danielle and I am a Registered Veterinary Technician. After working in the professional veterinary field for 10 years, I decided to pursue my love for pet sitting full time. I am comfortable with animals of all species, breeds, and temperaments, as well as those with special needs. I have many years of experience working in specialty and emergency veterinary medicine. I also have training in animal CPR and am comfortable giving medications, injections, and subcutaneous fluids. I have been caring for animals since I got my first dog at the age of 9, and successfully started my own pet care business when I was 14 years old. I have volunteered at the humane society as well as the wildlife center, and I have also assisted with the training of service dogs. I have a great passion for caring for senior animals. My wife, Bianca, is a huge animal lover as well and has been helping me with my pet sitting clients since 2016. We would love to have the opportunity to care for your fur babies with the same love and compassion as we do our own! We are bonded and insured. Rates are based off of my experience and background as a licensed veterinary technician.
“Danielle was wonderful! I was given daily updates, with attached photos, in the morning. And typically, I would also get an evening update. My dog, Molly, is a bit persnickety when it comes to eating dinner or taking her medication, so I wanted to ensure I had a caregiver who was used to this. With Dani's training as a Vet Tech, Molly was in great hands! There was one night when Molly was not going to sleep or settling down, and Dani texted right away to ask some follow-up questions and update me. 5/5 stars -- I would highly recommend!”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
