Pet care experience

Who let the pets out? Me!

Hi I'm Sahara! I'm a lifelong owner and lover of all animals. I have been doing pet sitting and dog walking for the past few years, and I always love meeting new four-legged friends. I am comfortable with medicating your pet, walking, playing or whatever your pet might need. I am available most weekdays and weekends, I work from home most of the time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I am new to the app but I can provide references as well! I am currently walking and pet sitting for a couple of families in the neighborhood, as well as cat sitting in the suburbs. I also have 2 dogs myself, and sometimes help with fostering animals that are looking for their forever home.

They were great with our pups while we were away. We really appreciate the notes of each check in and helped take so much of the stress off when we’re away from our fur babies. We could not recommend them enough!!

Nick and Sahara took great care of my two cats while I was away for a week! They seemed to really care about the cats. They sent helpful updates, reached out and asked questions when needed, and even volunteered to feed my fish too. They did a great job, and we feel comfortable and confident entrusting our cats to their care. Thank you!

Great job, Nick. Showed up on time every time and you can tell how much he likes dogs and Ernie took to Nick. Won’t hesitate to hire Nick again for drop-in services. Thanks!

Nick & Sahara are kind, knowledgeable, doggie sitters. Coco had an amazing time with her new friends. We received thoughtful texts and pictures throughout the week. We’ll definitely be rebooking.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work from home with a very flexible schedule. So, I am available almost everyday. I can offer drop in visits or walks from 8:00am to 8:00pm!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I have 10 years of property management experience. So, you can feel confident that your space will always be respected! I also grew up in the rural Midwest with six dogs, 5 horses and more! Which means, I can offer care to pets with more complex needs.

Pets

A typical day

I love to keep things exciting for my furry friends. Here are a few fun activities we'll enjoy: * Adventure walks: Exploring new parks, trails, and sniffing out hidden treasures. * Playtime galore: Fetch, chase, and cuddle sessions to burn off energy. * Treats and surprises: Special snacks, belly rubs, and unexpected playtime. * Indoor fun: Cozy naps, interactive toys, and laser tag adventures. I'm always open to new ideas and tailor my activities to each pet's unique personality. Let's create some unforgettable memories together! ?

Knowing a little about your pets beforehand helps me provide the best care possible. I'll ask about: * Diet and allergies: What do they eat, and are there any foods or ingredients to avoid? * Behavior: Are they friendly, shy, or have any specific quirks or fears? * Medical history: Are there any health conditions or medications I should be aware of? * Routine: What's their typical daily schedule for meals, walks, and playtime? This information ensures I can maintain their routine and address any special needs.
