I began volunteering at a local humane society during my senior year of college, igniting a passion for helping animals in need. While job hunting after graduation, I started offering pet sitting services through Rover.com and volunteering at the Aiken ASPCA learning the basics of animal behavior and training. In January 2018, I began my internship, which transitioned into an apprenticeship, at Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary which is where I developed a strong foundation in animal husbandry and enrichment. To supplement my income, I continued pet sitting in my off time. Once my time with the primates came to an end, I got a job working as a caregiver for Best Friends Animal Society in Atlanta. This is where I learned advanced animal behavior, handling, and training. Once again I earned extra money through pet sitting. I also regularly volunteered as a husbandry aide for Zoo Atlanta’s contact yard learning all about goats and sheep. I transferred to Best Friends Animal Society’s Dogtown during the height of the pandemic, and I began building a client base for pet sitting in Kanab. After parting ways with Best Friends in 2021, I remained in Kanab, continuing to provide pet sitting services while working at a local gas station. I joined Lumber Plus in 2022, honing my customer service skills and deepening my connection with the local community. I established myself as one of Kanab’s trusted pet sitters, known for my reliability and love for animals. In July 2024, I took a significant step forward by founding SabiSara Pets, a venture that combines my passion for animal care with my entrepreneurial spirit.
