Pet care is apart of my daily routine because I like to keep my pups active and healthy as best as possible! My pets and I are early risers so we are up early every morning! We take walks along the bike trials after supper time. I work as an Educational Assistant in a close by district so fitting in pet care is not a problem for me! I understand that every dog has their own schedule so I'm happy to do what's best for any dog even if it's early in the morning. I’m also going to school online for my Masters degree but I’m super flexible around that too!

Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I have two pets in which one of them is crated while we are not home. There is a fenced in area large enough to support the needs of my two corgis. I feed my dogs their meals on a schedule because one of them takes supplements at meal time. In my client's home, I make sure to take care of the pet based on their schedule and how the owner would do things. I like to provide the sense of comfort to pets when their people are away so I make sure to include extra time to talk and play with the furry friend. Additionally, I like to include pictures with visits and make sure the water bowl is fresh at every visit.

Pet care experience
As a seasoned pet care provider, my journey in animal care has been deeply enriched by my multifaceted background. Armed with a Bachelor's degree in Animal Science and practical experience as a veterinary technician, I offer a unique blend of academic knowledge and hands-on expertise. My tenure as a vet tech has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of animal behavior, medical needs, and emergency care. From administering medications to monitoring post-operative recovery, I am adept at handling various situations with poise and efficiency. This experience not only ensures the safety and well-being of the pets under my care but also provides reassurance to their owners that their beloved companions are in capable hands. What truly sets me apart from other sitters is my holistic approach to pet care. Beyond the basics of feeding and walking, I prioritize mental stimulation and enrichment activities tailored to each pet's individual needs. Whether it's training puppies with positive reinforcement techniques or providing gentle senior care for aging companions, I am committed to fostering their physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being. Additionally, my background in Animal Science affords me a deep understanding of nutritional requirements, breed-specific behaviors, and preventive healthcare measures. This knowledge enables me to offer valuable insights and proactive care recommendations to pet owners, empowering them to make informed decisions for their furry family members. In essence, my passion for animals, coupled with my educational background and practical experience, allows me to provide a level of care that goes beyond the ordinary. Whether it's nurturing a puppy's potential or providing comfort to a senior companion, I approach each pet care experience with dedication, compassion, and a commitment to excellence.

Reviews
Sage is dependable and is prompt with her updates. We have used her multiple times and is good with our corgi.
We had Sage watch our Corgi again and appreciate that she is reliable and that she updates us throughout her stay.
We have used Sage before and continue to seek her out as she is reliable, great with our Corgi, comfortable giving meds, her experience, and a great communicator..
Sage was a wonderful sitter! She was attentive to our pets and took care of playing, feeding and their litter boxes and other accidents. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, moving objects out of kitty reach and bonding with our animals by holding them and playing with them. She kept us updated daily with detailed notes and pictures. We would definitely have her watch our kitties again and would highly recommend to others! Thank you so much!
