Owner | Sit & StaycationsSarah Ajamoughli
Hello! My name is Sarah Ajamoughli, and I am the owner of Sit & Staycations, LLC. I started pet sitting professionally in January 2021 and have made it a goal to provide the best care and companionship by enlisting the help of my mentors at Clickstart Dog Training Academy and educating myself in safe, humane practices.
My team and I believe in stress-free, fear-free lives for your pets. Our in-home dog sitting service allows you to relax at work or on your vacation knowing that your pets are safe and comfortable as well as receiving the most personal care unique to their routine.
We are insured and bonded with Business Insurers of the Carolinas. I am an active member of Pet Sitters International and hold a Professional Pet Sitter certification through the organization that requires yearly CE’s to be completed. I have obtained a Fear Free Pet Sitter Certification through Fear Free Pets to further my passion for enriching the lives of pets and educating humans on emotionally sound care.

She approaches her job with the same level of dedication and care she would expect for her own pets, which include Dipsy, her sassy pup, Gallop, her feline friend, and Squishface, the adorable mini lop bunny. In addition to her role as a pet sitter, Zaidy also works as an emergency vet tech, further enhancing her ability to provide expert care for animals.

Dog walks, away visits, sleepover stays
Ellen has spent most of her professional career caring for people as an EMT and is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s in Nursing. She is passionate about extending that same care to animals, believing that nothing is as healing as time spent with our furry friends. Ellen has been a lifelong dog lover and owner, with a special focus on large breeds that often require extra care and attention due to behavioral issues. Her approach to pet care is motivational, avoiding punishment or fear-based training methods. Ellen meets each dog where they are, working with them through motivational techniques and plenty of affection. She is dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and compassionate environment for every pet she cares for. Ellen is a Certified Professional Pet Sitter & Pet CPR/First Aid Certified.
