Meet Sarah Schatz: The Mind and Driving Force Behind Sarah’s Pet Services

Behind every dependable dog walker, every carefully planned senior dog hike, and every trusted pet-sitting visit at Sarah’s Pet Services is Sarah Schatz, owner, entrepreneur, mom of three, devoted furmom, and the steady heart of the business.

Sarah’s days are full, always busy, every day busy, yet she leads with calm, clarity, and genuine care. As the owner of Sarah’s Pet Services, she is deeply hands-on, involved in daily operations, team support, scheduling, and client communication. Her leadership ensures that every dog receives thoughtful, reliable care, whether they’re a high-energy adventurer or a gentle senior pup who needs a slower pace.

A Life Built Around Animals

Sarah’s love for animals doesn’t stop when the workday ends. At home, she’s a proud furmom to Chublet, Clover, and Wally, and she also cares for her own flock of chickens. Living with animals every day gives Sarah a deep understanding of routines, personalities, and individual needs — insight that directly shapes how Sarah’s Pet Services operates.

This real-life experience helps her design services that truly support dogs and their families, especially for clients searching for a trustworthy dog walker or senior dog hiker in Western Massachusetts.

A Fair, Supportive, and Appreciative Leader

What truly sets Sarah apart as a business owner is how she treats her team. She believes that fairness, appreciation, and clear communication are the foundation of excellent pet care. Sarah values the hard work of every staff member and makes sure they feel respected, supported, and recognized.

That culture of care carries through to the dogs and clients the team serves, creating consistency and trust — exactly what families are looking for when choosing reliable dog sitters in Western MA.

Family-Run, Heart-Led

In addition to running a growing pet-care company, Sarah is a supportive wife to Noam Schatz, a musician and co-owner of Sarah’s Pet Services. Together, they’ve built a family-run business rooted in compassion, responsibility, and a shared love for animals.

Looking ahead to 2026, Sarah is excited to expand her focus with Fetch the Rings, a wedding dog-handling business that helps couples include their beloved dogs in one of the most meaningful days of their lives.

Leading With Grace — Even on the Busiest Days

No matter how full her schedule becomes, Sarah keeps her cool. She balances motherhood, business leadership, and family life with grace, never losing sight of what matters most: the well-being of the dogs, the trust of clients, and the dedication of her team.

And when she finds a rare moment to herself, Sarah enjoys metal detecting and searching for fossils, bringing the same curiosity and love for the outdoors that she shares with the dogs in her care.

Sarah’s Pet Services isn’t just a business name — it’s a reflection of Sarah’s work ethic, her appreciation for people, and her belief that excellent pet care starts with kindness, consistency, and heart.
