Teacher With a Passion for Animals

A teacher with a love for animals! I have two rabbits of my own (gated off in a separate room) and always have loved dogs. I’ve been watching and walking my friends and neighbors dogs and pets for years now. I’ve taken care of severely anxious dogs, puppies, a blind senior dog that needed extra precaution on walks and around the house, given medicine to dogs, I’ve watched cats as well! From snuggles on the couch and in bed to walks around the pond in my neighborhood, I’ll give just as much love to them as my own. I am offering services for check ins, walks, and house sitting. Most holidays I’m in town, so feel free to reach out!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for the pets like they are my own. We have plenty of snuggle time, time outside, and play time. For house sitting I spend a lot of time at the owner’s house, and make sure the pet is as comfortable as can be with a new person in their environment.

I’ve always been able to count on Sara. Seems like whenever I need her, she somehow makes herself available, whether it’s one day or one week. She’s always willing to accommodate.

My kitty Leo loves Sara! He comes straight to her for cuddles, and rubbies. Thanks for taking care of Leo!

Sara was great taking care of our dog while we were out of town for the weekend! She was so easy to communicate with and paid attention to detail!

Sara was amazing! She gave me amazing update's on how my babies were doing! We just got a puppy and didn’t know how she’d do around new people and she warmed right up to Sara!

A daily routine is a walk and potty break first thing in the morning and then breakfast, I am a teacher and gone for the day, currently until 6:45 PM as I’m working afterschool for the time being. We immediately go for a walk and play time. Afterwards is snuggle time on the couch, dinner, and more outside time.

How are they around other dogs, animals, and in public? Are they on any medication? Are they leash reactive or barrier reactive? Are there any triggers I should be aware of or keep an eye out to make sure your pet is as comfortable as can be.
