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.

About: I grew up with dogs all my life and I helped two of my dogs with 4 deliveries of puppies. The reason I wanted to have puppies was for the legacy and I kept two from the litters. I loved all my fur babies and it was hard to let them go. After I found their forever homes I would puppy sit for the owners. I own 3 dogs that are a family. There is a mom, dad and their puppy. Our family is completed with a cat that thinks he is a dog. This is my dream job to care for dogs every day. For the last 2 years I have been part of a team that hikes with off leash dogs in the hills. It has been very fulfilling and rewarding. I have learned so much about all the different dog breeds and their behaviours. It is a positive reinforcement approach and treat based for brain games and recall. This occupation will aide in my care for your dogs and their overall experience. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby!! 🐾♥️ I am currently working part time Monday to Friday taking dogs on hikes in the hills of up to four at a time off leash. As of May 2026 I will be available from early morning to early afternoon. I will care for your dog at your home with the love and care that you show them. Playing with them and making sure they get out and have that time to relieve themselves. Always topping up their food and water and taking pics so you can see their cute faces!
