Pet care experience
Hi pet parent! I want to make sure your dog has the best catered experience under my watch and care. I have taken care of dogs of varying energy level, and am all about making sure your dog is happy and taken care of. I am currently training my own puppy in basic and advanced obedience through positive reinforcement, and she definitely has won over every human she meets! I believe I would be a great fit for your dog 🐶 I ensure pups have enough exercise/play time, frequent potty breaks, and lots of positive reinforcement! I love taking dogs on long walks and the dog park if they are up for it! (Lastly, all money made on here gets donated to a service dog fundraiser I am a part of. So get great dog care and contribute to a great cause!)
Reviews
Sage is beyond wonderful! She was so great with our dog and we absolutely hope to have her dogsit again! We couldn’t be happier with how things went and are so glad we found Sage!
Sage was awesome! My dog is very high-energy on walks and pulls a lot but she did great with him and was flexible with my last-minute look for a dog sitter.
Sage did a tremendous job and really took great care of our dog! Highly recommended!
Sage took wonderful care of my hound mix! My dog, Hope, gets lonely whenever I have to leave, but she is almost always calm and comfortable if she has any other people and/or dogs with her instead of me. For whatever reason, yesterday turned out to be an exception to that rule, and Hope had a lot of trouble settling. Sage was communicative about Hope’s struggles and patient and resourceful in their efforts to get Hope to relax and settle. They took Hope for a couple of fun walks and fed her dinner and some yummy treats. My dog settled and slept for a little while, but we still ultimately decided to end the stay a little early. Sage was accommodating and adaptable throughout that bit of chaos Hope created, and they handed off Hope to my roommate so she could have a better chance at settling down until I could get home that night. The bottom line - when my dog was having an off day, Sage kept me in the loop and made the best of a difficult situation. I highly recommend Sage to take care of your pup!

Safety, trust & environment
I always care for dogs in my home or their own as if they are mine. I have my own pup so I know that these are our babies!
Information Sage R. would like to know about your pet
I like to know their energy level, any special circumstances, and how they react to other dogs. I’d also like to know to what extent they are trained and with what. Lastly any info needed to provide them food or treats is always helpful (allergies, special diet, etc.)
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dog by going on long walks, a local dog park if they are up for that, and even doing mental stimulation with their meals! I will give your pup extra belly scratches and love.

Availability
I currently work from home full time, where I already take care of my own dog daily! We go on a midday and post-work walk. I always prioritize her needs aside my own schedule based on her energy for the day.
