Safety, trust & environment

Safety is the most important part of a dog walk or drop in visit with a cat or dog. To ensure your pets safety, I always lock all gates if playing in the yard. When on a walk, I triple check that the leash or harness is comfortable on the dog, as well as safe enough so they can't wiggle out of it. For all animals, it is important to keep anything toxic out of reach, so I always check that any toxic foods or cleaning products are far out of the dog or cats way.

Pet care experience

I have loved animals ever since I was five years old! Taking care of others has always been a passion and skill of mine. When I was a senior in high school, I worked at my local senior center. Taking care of and entertaining the residents there. I would often help them with meal time, spending time with them and chatting was crucial to their care. When it comes to pups, I am always eager to spend time with them! My sister recently adopted a cava poo puppy, Lulu, and seeing the impact this dog has had on my sister makes my love for animals grow even larger! I frequently watch Lulu on the weekends, there is nothing I look forward to more than a good walk in the park with my niece! (yes, I call her my niece because dogs are family!)

Sara was phenomenal! She sent lots of pictures, and I could tell even just through pictures that our dog really enjoyed having her take care of him. She was amenable to some requests we had about our apartment, and she left it spotless! Hard to tell she was even there besides the fact that our dog was happy as a clam!

Sara wanted our two small, anxious dogs for 5 days leading up to Christmas. She was so patient with them and was amazing at staying in communication with us. Our dogs really are hard to win over but Sara did so. We will absolutely be having her dog sit again!

Sara was great. She came on time and took excellent care of our puppy! She is clearly a dog lover and I would highly recommend her. Will definitely reach out to her again.
