Happy To Pamper Your Baby
Pet care experience
As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to find a dedicated sitter. Your pup will find a safe, loving home when they stay with me. I have two dogs that I adopted from a no-kill shelter and they are sisters. I have taken them to obedience classes, where they were trained to walk without leading. I have also owned cats — my first cat was 20 years old before she expired and every cat I've ever had since has lived a long, loved life. All were adopted from rescue shelters. I know how to care for animals with all types of needs. I’d describe myself as happy, loving, and giving person. Life is too short to not live life to the fullest or let little things get you down. I lost my mom and brother several years ago, and I have no human kids, so all of my love goes to my dogs and cat. I am generous with my time and energy when it comes to making sure everyone is included and having a great time — I love making others happy. Dog sitting gives my dogs a chance to be more social and gives me the satisfaction of providing pet parents with the comfort that their loved ones are well cared for.
Reviews
Sabrina took great care of our dogs while we were away. She took lots of pictures of them which was great. Thanks to Sabrina we enjoyed our trip and felt good our dogs were being taken care of.
It was obviously from our first meeting Sabrina is an experienced dog sitter. She asked all the right questions and some I didn't consider. She is gentle with my dogs. My youngest is a little shy when meeting people for the first time. She didn't force it. She let him come to her at the meet and greet. From the photo of the first drop-in he was lacking her face like they were old friends which gave me comfort.
Sabrina did such a great job with our fur babies. They were so comfortable with her and she kept us updated all night. I would highly recommend her.
Sabrina did a great job with my two cats, who need a person to stay with them overnight when we're gone. She sent lots of pictures, and they were both healthy and happy when we returned from our trip.

Information Sabrina R. would like to know about your pet
I like to do meet and greets either at a dog park or out on a walk. I do not want a dog to feel uncomfortable around my two girls. My girls have been boarded and always have been given positive feedback. If they do not get along, my place is big enough that I could separate them and no one would be confined to just one room. During obedience class a Pitbull kept nipping at my Daphne, so she is nervous around larger dogs.
A typical day
In the morning, I wake up, wash up and take the pups for a walk. I work from home. I work for about four hours, then take my lunch break and give your pup their second walk. I then work for another four hours and start dinner, go out for a third walk, and finally before bedtime give a final walk. On rare occasions , I go to the office so the only thing that would change is no walk at noon — it would be six hours before second break is given (however, I have a super flexible schedule and can leave the office after four hours). Saturday and Sunday, I'm usually home. I walk my dogs just around my neighborhood because one of my girls is noise nervous, however if your pup enjoys longer walks and is not afraid of noises I would walk her around the airport walking path. My dogs get 20–30 minutes walks 3–4 times a day. On the weekends if I need to drive my boyfriend to work, I take the dogs on a car ride and we will walk at the park near my boyfriend’s job. In the summer I spend a lot of time in my backyard, so my dogs keep me company. Dogs are free to explore my house and/or backyard — if their owner allows. I allow my dogs on the sofa and beds. They are not crated as they are housebroken and have free roaming privileges — if the client allows so will their pet. Speaking from experience, if the client wants pictures and or FaceTime calls, I can provide those as well as text messages as often as needed. Speaking as a pet owner, I know I feel comfort seeing photos of my happy pet when I am away!
