Safety, trust & environment

Although I don’t do drop offs at my own home, I will listen to whatever the owner tells me is needed and make sure their pet is treated with the best care

Information Sage H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if a dog has special needs, medication that they need to take, or has anything that needs to be made aware of. I am comfortable with giving medication and treating a dog the best I can.

A typical day

If the dog is high energy, I am more than happy to take him/her on walks, play outside, go to a dog park, etc. I will make sure the dog is not overly tired but is not cooped up inside all day.

Graduate from Purdue with a wildlife biology degree and currently going back for Veterinary nursing/technician! Experience in taking care of animals/walking dogs. I’m also able to take care of other types of pets (Reptiles, amphibians, birds, etc.) if needed. Lots of experience with walking and looking after different animals (Clinical experience in vet hospital, Zookeeper at the Indy Zoo, Volunteered at the Humane Society and Columbian Park zoo) I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes We have a dog and 3 cats of our own that we rescued, but we have owned quite a few dogs at my house in the past. I also have a bearded dragon.

I cannot say enough good things about Sage. She is an amazing young lady with a bright future ahead of her, Sage excels at everything she does - whether it be her college education or helping an injured animal at the side of the road. She always goes above and beyond in everything she does. She has walked my dog for many years and the minute I tell him Sage is coming, he runs to the door and waits for her. He wiggles all over when he sees her. Dogs are excellent judges of character. Her kindness and compassion for animals and people is like no other. I truly believe this is an extension of the way her family is. Sage has also taken care of Bentley when I've been out of town and I feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. Sage and her family are one of the few people I trust his care to. I feel very fortunate to have Sage in Bentley's life and in ours as well.

Sage H would make an excellent dog walker. She worked as a vet tech assistant while attending high school. She is reliable and dependable.The most important thing is she absolutely adores all pets no matter what they are from lizards to birds! Sage has a kind and gentle heart. She would never mistreat an animal and would give it all her love and patience. She definately has my approval and I would totally trust her with my 150lb Saint Bernard!

Sage is a super responsible caregiver and loves dogs almost as much as me. I can always count on her whenever I am going out of town, and I know that my dog will be in trusted hands.
