Animals turn my frown upside down

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Sahara and I am a pet lover. I’ve owned multiple dogs (Pugel, Shitzu, & A Bichon/Shitzu mix). Aside from owning dogs, I’ve also interacted with various types and sizes of dogs through friends and family from doodles and pit bulls to Maltese and terriers. I’ve been to Camp Border Collie in upstate New York where I’ve trained and bonded with rescue Border Collie. I am energetic so I am always down to go for long walks and outdoor activities and these things are be always so much better with a dog by my side. They’ll leave me with a great workout and a lot of affection!

Sahara has taken care of our crew several times and I always come home to happy fur kids. I would recommend her.

Saraha was quick to reply when I reached out to her. She came and met our menagerie and competently watched them all weekend with no issues. Communication was clear and she left things in good condition. Would definitely hire her again!

I have known Sahara for many years and she is a amazing woman! She is outstanding in her academics at the University as well as product of our strong US Military. I would want better yet need her responsibility, honesty, good character and strong morals watching after my young pup or old dog! All in all I believe that she is one of the most suitable candidates for this job! Thank you

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets like my own unless advised otherwise. When it comes to in house sitting, i will follow rules given to me as it is not my home and I like to respect boundaries. In reference to boarding dogs, there are currently no dogs in my home so clients will have the option on whether they’d like their dog to be alone. If there is a situation where multiple dogs are in my care, I will tell each owner the kind of dogs just to ensure each owner is comfortable. (I understand some dog owners can be frightened when it comes to size and type of fog interacting with others).

Information Sahara H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your dog’s behavior. If your dog has behavioral issues I’d like to know ahead of time. If your dog has anxiety of any sort I’d like to know ahead of time. I’d hate to make a dog anxious in a situation where they’re not around their main person of comfort. I would like clear instructions and as much information as possible with dogs with special needs to ensure I take care of them correctly.

A typical day

The fun activities I like to do are walking, running, tugging, and throwing with dogs. I love the outdoors in general. I like going to parks and there are plenty in my area and the neighboring areas. I also specialize in the activity of belly rubbing, that seems to be their favorite lol.

Availability

My job has recently became more flexible and I have reduced my hours. Since my schedule is so flexible, I am able to work with clients with timing and days. Most of my days I work from home with a few days of month in office so my availability would be pretty open as I will be able to organize my day how I would like.
