Roaming Rascals- best in pet care!
Pet care experience
I currently am a self employed pet sitter and dog groomer at Purrfect Paws. I work 8-4 and have Wednesdays and Sundays off. I would go straight to the clients house after work and stay until I would have to work the next day. I would spend most of the day there if not all day on my days off. I worked for a company; a dog walking and pet sitting business. I was one of three people who walked and took care of dogs around the Seattle area. Our walks were either one hour or half an hour. We also took them to the dog park to play with other dogs; often times handling up to ten dogs at a time and then driving them back home. I also stayed at client’s houses while pet sitting which consisted of feeding, walking, and snuggling with either cats or dogs and cleaning the house after so that it looked better than they left it. The client’s trust in me was very important in this field of work. I met with clients at their homes both before starting walking with me and/or pet sitting. I worked at a dog kennel in Evergreen, Colorado. The facility holds 100+ dogs for boarding and daycare sittings in around 30 dogs a day. They are in charge of feeding, watering, and providing medications for the dogs, cleaning kennels, taking dogs outside for playtime and to go potty, and of course belly rubs. They also provide the same care for cats. Sitting, I spent my time at my boss’s house, watching the dogs that she boards there as well as midday visits to dogs around the area and overnight sitting. I know what signs to look for in order to stop a fight from happening. If a fight should ever happen, I am very quick and will do whatever it takes to get the dogs to safety. I know to observe and record any unusual eating behavior as well as abnormal feces or vomiting. I know how to give a variety of medications, including shots. I’m a good cleaner, a hard-worker, and a quick learner. As a former barista, cashier and hostess, I also have good customer service skills. I currently have one dog of my own. Previously I have owned ducks, chickens, rats, mice, birds, salamanders, gerbils, cats and goats.
Reviews
Sarah was great with my (kind of) high maintenance pets! We’ll certainly call her again!
Sarah was excellent! We were worried leaving our babies for two full weeks. Sarah completely understood and helped us through the process. She sent photos and even arranged baths for them! We came home to two happy clean pups! We will definitely be using her again and have already recommended her to friends.
Sarah was so great! We were in a bind with trying to find someone to watch our precious pups at the last minute due to an emergency and Sarah jumped at the chance to help us out! She was a lifesaver! She was very quick to respond and offered to meet us and the pups the next evening. We felt comfortable as soon as we met her and saw her interaction with the dogs - You can tell she really loves animals. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay to let us know everything was going great, which I greatly appreciated! The dogs were well taken care of when we returned home, as well as our house. She even washed the sheets and towels! Huge brownie points! We will definitely use Sarah again!
Sarah has been sitting for our 3 pups for a few years now & our dogs adore her! They literally freak when they see her---we never worry when we leave them with Sarah & her daily updates with pictures are an amazing plus! We come home to a clean house & 3 happy pups! She is well worth every penny & we check with her availability before booking flights because I wouldn't want to leave them with anyone else!

Skills
Information Sarah C. would like to know about your pet
As long as a dog doesn't attack me I am open to all sizes and breeds. I don't discriminate when it comes to our furry friends.
A typical day
I enjoy running for more high energy dogs and walks or dog park visits. As a former dog walker I am used to the more challenging dogs who pull or are aggressive towards other dogs as well as walking multiple dogs at a time. I have never had any accidents or injuries during my years of dog walking.
