My Story

Sara Higgins

I was born and raised in Florida and attended Sebastian River High. I’ve worked at a range of veterinary clinics from holistic care to emergency hospitals. I spent the last 13 years in San Diego as a vet tech and service dog / pet dog trainer.

I recently moved back to Vero Beach and am looking forward to helping my community’s people and pets in any way possible!

What Makes Me Different

  • Unmatched Experience: I have a deep love for animals and years of experience in training and care.

  • Customized Services: I tailor my services to meet your pet's specific needs, from daily walks and playtime to feeding and medication administration.

  • Safety First: I prioritize your pet's safety and well-being at all times, ensuring a secure and comfortable environment.

  • Peace of Mind: With regular updates and photos, you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands.

What People Are Saying

“Sara is literally one of the best animal caretakers/trainers I have ever used. Not only is she intuitive with the animals, but her veterinary background gives her (and me) that extra confidence that my pets are in the right hands! Having animals with chronic medical concerns, I am not able to leave them in the care of just anyone. Luckily for me, since I started using Sara, vacations and time away from home is back! Without worries! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to be able to leave their pets without any worries!”

“Sara was a great sitter for my 2 kitties! It was the first time they were left alone and I could tell they were well taken care of! She sent updates and pictures each visit, they looked so comfortable and happy! Very professional, will be using her services again! Thank you!

“Right from the get go Sara has been what we wanted/needed in a dog trainer for my pup Lexi. She has an incredible understanding of how to deal with pet personalities and how to teach their owners what they need to know to enforce good behavior. She is extremely observant and sensitive when she is working with our Lexi, but is also quite stern and direct when the time comes to discipline/train our dog. I found it wonderful that she explains everything that she was doing in a concise manner. It really put things in perspective for me as an owner, and gave me insight to how dog behavior works so that I could continue to train my dog properly when she left.”
