About: As a high school history teacher, I bring strong responsibility, time management, and communication skills to every task—including caring for pets. With 15 years of experience as a devoted pet owner, I understand the attention, patience, and love that animals need. My dependable nature and genuine passion for dogs make me a trustworthy and attentive dog walker. During the summer months, I have the amazing flexibility to help many people and their families with their pet needs any day of the week. When I visit clients homes, I would treat your pet like I would treat my very own. My pets are my babies, your pets would be treated like my babies also.

She is absolutely wonderful with dogs and truly has a heart of pure gold. I’ve never met anyone who cares for animals the way she does! I highly recommend Sarah for anyone looking to have their pet loved and taken care of the way you love and care for them yourselves. She is one-of-a-kind and will take care of your babies like they’re her own!”
20. Em N.
“Em has been walking our Ellie for more than a year now and she loves her! Whenever we need her in a pinch she is available and accommodating.
