Dog lover who enjoys a stroll!
Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Sarafina I am vet tech who has 3 cats, 3 dogs, and 1 axolotl. One of my pups suffers from anxiety due to issues from his previous home so I work endlessly so that he can feel relaxed and feel safe. I work very hard to make sure all dogs I take care of are treated well and made to feel relaxed. I have experience taking care of young and older dogs and understand that each dog has its own personality and way of doing things. I am currently working on getting certified in animal CPR as well as any other necessary certifications. I am very comfortable giving medications and injection medications.
Reviews
Once again our dog had a great time, would recommend Sara.
Peace of mind. Sara took care of our pets on two separate occasions staying overnight in my home – when we returned it’s like she was never there. She was very communicative while we were away, sending photos and keeping us updated. Very grateful for Sara’s attention to detail, proactivity, and thoughtfulness. Thank you, Sara!
Sara is wonderful!
Sara was great! She was super patient with my dog, who deals with anxiety issues. She kept me informed on how he was doing throughout the stay, and was very easy to work with. I highly recommend Sara!
About Sara C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I am in your home I am very respectful. I am here for your animals and don't want to cause any unnecessary mess in your house! I talk out loud and talk to your pets. I give love and affection for those who want it and give space to those who want it. I do not force myself onto your pets, if they don't want affection, I won't make them.
Information Sara C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know about any allergies, toy/treat likes and dislikes, if they have experience with other dogs and people, and if they have any training (basic commands, leash, etc). If they have anxiety: any triggers they have to avoid.
A typical day
It depends on the area. If there is a safe area around the house/apartment I will walk around there, if not I enjoy going to different hiking trails as long as it is okay with the owners. I also enjoy going to dog parks, playing with toys, and teaching different tricks. I have two dogs and if it is okay with the owners and the dog, I can bring them around and they can all play together.

Availability
I work full time as a vet tech so if I am dog sitting, I either stay over and take care of your pets before and after work or I will pop in before and after work. On days I don't work, I work around your pet's needs. If they are fine with something quick and are fine to be home alone or if they need company for an extended amount of time. I am very flexible.
