5+ years pet sitting experience

Pet care experience

I have worked with dogs and cats for my entire life, but I have been dog sitting for 6 years. I have worked with shih tzus, shetland sheepdogs, collies, pit bull mixes, and bichons. I would be fine with watching a cat if you also have a cat. I worked at a volunteer cat shelter for 2 years, so I have a lot of experience with pets with disabilities and pets with bad behavior. I have a lot of experience with senior animals who need medicine, so I have no problem with administering pills or other oral medicine to animals. Contact me for specific information about my schedule and availability. When your pet stays with me, they will be well cared for and well loved!

Sara was amazing! Very flexible with Ruger's schedule and kept me updated. I highly recommend her as a sitter, she's someone you can trust.

Sara is very passionate and caring when it comes to all animals. Her love for the pets is contagious and she always makes sure to learn about each one in her care, and is ready to alter her care-taking strategies to suit their needs. A pet owner herself, and someone who has taken care of many dogs for friends, teachers, neighbors, family, ect in the past, Sara knows the responsibility required to make sure the animals are stress-free while their owners are away. If you're looking for a dog sitter who will love your dog as much as you do, you've found her!

I have been fortunate to have Sarah stay with my pets on more than one occasion. My puppy and kitten absolutely LOVE her and it is clearly obvious that she loves them. Sarah stays in communication as needed to let us know how the animals are doing. She follows directions well and needs very little clarification. She was fantastic with our last cat who had special needs for diet and medication. I never had any concerns about the house being left in good condition. If one of the pets had an accident, it was taken care of, using the cleaners I specified. Sarah is also extremely trustworthy. I have never had anything broken or misplaced in the many times she has stayed with our pets. Most importantly, my animals were LOVED. Sarah towed the line to make sure our pets followed the household rules. She played with them and kept them entertained in our absence. It was not uncommon that the animals would block her access to leave because they didn't want to see her go. I have absolutely no reservations about recommending Sarah. She has been a life-saver and we have felt so lucky to have her.

Sara and I tag-team pet sitting jobs a lot and she's a great petsitter! She loves to take dogs on long adventurous walks and bust away kitten and cat energy with toys! One of the dogs we petsit doesn't like new people, but by the end of day 1 he was falling asleep in her lap if that says anything about her emotional connection with animals! Sara is a great choice for your fur friend's caretaker!

Information Sara B. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if the dog needs medicine/diet restrictions. For example, I take care of a dog who needs pH-maintaining bone. I love all breeds of dogs, but I need to know if they have a tendency to bite or if they have any diseases because I have my own pets.

A typical day

I will take the dog to the park, around your neighborhood, or around campus. I love playing tug-of-war and giving hugs to dogs.
