About: Hi there! My name is Sarah and I grew up on a farm where I learned to care for horses, cows, chickens, dogs and cats at a young age. I also worked at an Animal Hospital for several years, assisting the Vet with surgery and basic animal care. I have been passionate about animals my entire life and I will care for your best friend as if they are my own. I am a self employed, small business owner so I can be available if you’re in a bind and need someone on short notice. :) I own a fenced acre in the country that my old dog Piper loves to run around or sun bathe, and where my cat Sushi loves to explore and play.

About: I grew up on an east coast farm we always had animals to tend to and in my adult life I have been an animal advocate rescueing, fostering and caring for quite a number of animals over the years all sizes, ages and care levels. You meet the animal where they are and lead them where they need to go with confidence and an able had to ensure safety and promote overall wellbeing for all parties. I am currently a stay at home dad that would love to have some company on my daily walks. Exposure to a variety of environments and situations is great for children fur and human alike. I have a fenced yard and a deck with a kiddy pool for those hot days. Having a great deal of experience with troubled dogs in my rescue background I can anticipate an upset situation before it's even an option and have the confidence to lead your dependant through what ever they are having issues with but am happy to accommodate any set behaviors and just be a reasuring companion and facilitate exercise and stimulation crucial parts of a well balanced pet.

Our dog Oscar was well cared for with T-Jay and his family. They were friendly and flexible with our plans and Oscar enjoyed walks and playtime with the kids and a visiting dog playmate. All good. We would feel fine about leaving Oscar with T-Jay again.

I was in a bind for a walker and Sarah showed up on very short notice! I was pleased to see the pictures and the attention to detail... She topped of the water bowl and gave Drake a couple of treats. Always nice to know my pup is well taken care of!

Angela has been fantastic with my dog! She is reliable and friendly plus consistent, which in my opinion is very important. I know that my pup gets his walks 4 days per week, which alleviates pressure off me, from a long work week. Thank you so much Angela ! Nanuq is so happy that you are there to walk him every week ...as am I 😊
