Professional Care for Pets
Pet care experience
I am 27 years old, and currently work from home! I was born and raised around pets of all kinds in my household. From Great Danes to German shepherds to miniature poodles, I’ve cared for many furry friends (even birds, snakes, and goats!). Growing up, I always had three dogs at once as well as cats. I learned to handle and care for them at a young age and enjoy continuing this experience today. I have been professionally pet sitting for 3 years now. I have a lot of energy, so I am able to go on long walks or runs for any dog to get the daily exercise they need! Cats can be a little more independent, but it’s still important to establish a friendly presence around them so they don’t feel alone. I look forward to meeting and caring for any pet in need!
Reviews
Sage took great care of our little Buddy when we first arrived to town and we’re moving into our house and didn’t want the pup to risk running out the door while movers were coming in and out. We wanted the transition to be a smooth one with extra TLC and Sage gave Buddy just what he needed! He gave Buddy lots of love and kept us reassured with great communication and pics along the way. Thanks for making the stressful time easier. We look forward to using Sage again!
Sage is now our go-to Rover house sitter. We really appreciate Sage because he is super responsive and reliable, and very attentive to detail. And our dogs clearly love him!
Sage sat in our home for two weeks. He connected to our puppy and treated her great. He also left the house as he found it. Sage is an excellent house/dog sitter.
Sage did a wonderful job for us taking care of our dog as well as our home. We will continue to use his services. He kept us updated and went above and beyond. We feel lucky to have formed a relationship with Sage!

Safety, trust & environment
When pet sitting, I make sure to give attention to pets essentially at all times. I have experience staying on a schedule and feeding animals at appropriate times. I also enjoy making runs to pet stores to get treats and toys to surprise the dogs. Depending on the age and size, I walk the dog 2-5 times per day and have some play time as well.

Information Sage H. would like to know about your pet
It’s important to know what the dog’s personality is like. Are they friendly with anyone? Are they cautious or uncomfortable around kids? Are they friendly around kids? Are they friendly around other dogs or even cats? How often and when does the dog eat? Is the dog leash trained? Any food allergies? Any medication or supplements? Favorite snacks or treats?
A typical day
I love spending time with any animal I am taking care of. That means (very) frequent play sessions and potty breaks. I make it a point to go on at least two extended walks per day, and I always bring a toy or two for some play time in a field or park. I know some good routes around my home to go on a walk with dogs.

Availability
A few times a week, I provide walks and meals for dogs of my friends’ who are required to work in an office and cannot make time to tend to these daily needs. I have a flexible schedule and work remotely, so I have ample time to look after animals.
