Experienced and loving dog trainer!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Sara and I am a HUGE dog lover and a professional dog trainer! I have two rescue dogs myself and they are my whole world! I love them so much and I am so thankful for every day I get to spend with them! I have a deep and natural understanding with dogs and all animals. I have trained many dogs and I have fully trained my dog Lily. She has passed the Canine Good Citizen exam (beginning, intermediate, and advanced), has received multiple trick dog titles, has competed in agility, passed the Therapy Dog exam, and I have trained Lily to be a fully working service dog for medical alert and response. I have trained many, many dogs. I’m very experienced with teaching a dog from the ground up. I’ve worked with 8 week old puppies to 11 year old dogs. From 7 pound chihuahuas to 140 pound Newfoundlands. From dogs who just need a brush up on obedience to reactive and aggressive dogs. I truly believe that no dog is too old to learn new tricks and any bad behavior can be altered with enough time, attention, consistency, and of course effort! Through Rover, I mainly train dogs how to walk on a leash and how to have focus while outside. I also work with reactive dogs and work with them to be non-reactive on leash. If you would like me to work with your dog, please let me know! I do not charge extra to train with the dog because not only does it make the dog’s life (and your life!) better, it makes the dog walking experience for me better as well. Plus, I actually really do love to work with and train dogs. I love seeing their progress and watching them become more confident and comfortable! Throughout my whole life, I have volunteered at animal shelters and vet offices as well as worked for a professional dog walking company and doggie day care in Vienna, Austria. I was even the founder and president of the "Animal Care Club" (where we raised money for local animal shelters and educated people about proper and humane animal care) at my junior high and high school and ran the club for 5 years! I am extremely patient, strong and knowledgeable about all different dog breeds and their needs. I understand that every dog is special and may have different emotional, physical or medical needs. I am able to administer medicine or tend to a special needs dog with ease and kindness. I work from home so I am able to spend tons and tons of time with your pup! I am more than happy to send you photos, videos and updates on how your dog is doing! I am so excited to meet you and your dog and make his/her day with a fantastic walk, visit or stay!

The best ever! Goes above and beyond! Could not ask for a better human to hang with our pup!
Sara always takes such great care of our pup! Really goes above and beyond for him!
Sara is a amazing! After just a couple walks with her my pup is already so much better behaved. So glad to have found her!
Sara is absolutely amazing with our dogs. We have an Australian Shepherd and Chihuahua. Sara works with both sizes extremely well. She communicates well and she is very honest and trustworthy. I'm so glad we found her to care for and walk our fur babies, it takes such a weight off my shoulders! I highly recommend Sara for anyone looking for her services.

I have a fenced in yard with lots of space to run and play! Depending on the energy level of your dog, we may even go for a hike at the local park!

Information Sara B. would like to know about your pet
This information is important for me to keep your dog safe. Your answers will not affect your booking. Is your dog reactive to other dogs? Does your dog try to go after squirrels, bikes, runners, etc? Does your dog have any fear or aggression towards certain kinds of people (mail man, police officer, people with beards, etc) If you have a dog that will suddenly jump and try to run at the end of their leash- what makes them do that (ex: they see a cat across the street and want to chase it, so they will suddenly try to bolt) Does your dog have any medical conditions? Does your dog have any food allergies? Is there anywhere your dog does not like to be touched? (Ears, paws, tail) Has your dog every bit a person or another dog? If so, under what circumstances did your dog bite?
A typical day
I love going to the park with dogs! It is so wonderful to get outside and let the dog explore and sniff around. Luckily, we have a beautiful park just a 5 minute drive from my home that my dogs and I visit almost daily. We also have a big back yard where we play fetch, chase, and tug-of-war! We have plenty of dog toys, doggie beds and general dog supplies.

I work from home, so I am here pretty much all day. On days where I have to leave my house, I’m never gone for more than a few hours. If I have a client that I’d staying with me, I will always be sure to be there. For your dog’s safety and my own dog’s and cat’s safety I do require that all dogs be crate trained.
