Pet care experience
I live in an apartment in Pacific Heights with my shih-tzu-poodle pup Bubba. Both Bubba and I are used to having other pups around as I fostered dogs for two years and started sitting on Rover in June 2014. Fostering has given me experience with more difficult dogs as well as senior dogs. Staying at our home means lots of attention with regular walks and trips to the park. I can also keep you up to date with puppy pics and videos, as well as daily check-ins. If you have questions or want to learn more please message me. Thanks! Sara Why I love dog sitting I grew up with dogs, but I adopted my first dog in 2002. Since living in SF, I finally moved in to a dog friendly space and immediately began looking for a pup. I found and adopted my dear sweet Bubba, and after some training classes and lots of work on socialization, he has come out of his shell and has grown into a well adjusted friendly pup who loves other dogs and people.

Reviews
Sara did an amazing job with my Lily. It was my first time leaving Lily with someone that I just met. I was put at ease from day one. I received pictures/videos every day seeing my happy girl. I would definitely recommend Sara for your fur baby.
Sara was absolutely amazing! Lily loved her stay with Sara :)
Sara was great with Apollo. She kept him exercised and well fed, which is no small task for our picky eater. She also sent us lots of updates. Id be happy to leave our pup with her again.
Sara did such an amazing job taking care of my senior dog with special needs!! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced and confident petsitter.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for all pets like they are my own; with love and respect. I pay close attention to their needs and behavior to ensure they feel safe and happy. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Doggie bed. Or in a crate if provided by parent. (Or with me if that's what your dog prefers). Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home. I generally try not to leave dogs on their own, in particular on their first night when they are likely to be more anxious. If I step out, I won't be gone longer than 4 hours.

Information Sara J. would like to know about your pet
I would definitely like to know about your dog before sitting. It is important to get an idea of his/her daily routine and any behavioral idiosyncrasies, etc. As long as your dog can tolerate other dogs, we are happy to have 'em. Unfortunately, my landlord will not allow what they consider "dangerous" dog breeds, e.g. Pit Bulls and Rottweilers, etc. Which is a total bummer.
A typical day
Walks, park trips, fetch in the dog run, happy hours in the park. Sometimes we check out the small dog run at ocean beach or find some nature to hike.
Services

Availability
My dog gets two walks a day, 8am-ish and 5pm-ish, sometimes an early afternoon break to get it if the house and get moving. Generally the afternoon/evening walk includes a trip to the nearby park for some socialization.
