Owner away? I walk, sit and stay.

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs, cats, and numerous small animals and am comfortable caring for them all. I began volunteering at my local animal shelter starting at age 16 and continued throughout college. I have fostered kittens and currently own a young cat and a senior dog with many health problems so I am familiar with giving medications and providing for special needs.

Sara was a great communicator and even gave suggestions when caring for our dog. I would defidently use her again.

Drew was very happy to meet Sara and happier on his return home. I can tell he enjoyed himself as he tried to follow Sara after goodbyes were said. Thank you Sara for taking good care of my fella.

Safety, trust & environment

Sitting: I am more than willing to follow all house rules and would be open to tasks like watering the plants if you need it! Happy to walk your pups and/or play with them in the yard. Also happy to work with animals that require extra care like medications or specialized routines. Boarding: I have a fenced in back yard for potty breaks and sunbathing time but would also make sure to provide plenty of walks if boarding your pups. I do have one senior Frenchie at home, he is pretty much indifferent to other dogs (never aggressive or overbearing) and one cat who is also fine with dogs, so your pup would need to be able to tolerate them.

Information Sara B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there is anything in particular I can do to help make your fur baby feel more comfortable, or if they have any special needs/medications. I am comfortable with all breeds and ages!

A typical day

If your pet has a favorite toy or game to play I am happy to oblige, otherwise I am a big fan of fetch (a true classic) and going for occasional "free for all" walks where your pup gets to stop and smell everything they want.
