Not just walk, but adventures

I have been working in the dog industry for 6 years now. I am good at reading dogs behaviors and body language and am I am good at determining what the dog needs from me to be happy. I have owned animals my whole life. I enjoy going on hikes and adventures with dogs and doing more than just walks, but will be happy to take a stroll around the neighborhood if that is what your dog needs. I have done a little work with dog training and behavior so I will be happy to work on behavior issues as well. I like to make sure each dog gets the attention and exercise they need to be happy and healthy. I treat each pet as if they were my own. I value your time and hope you value mine as well. I am very flexible with timing and I know rover allows you to provide a window for time. I also understand preparing for a trip and coming home from one plans change. I am extremely happy to accommodate, especially if you just are not ready to come back to reality yet. My big request is for communication, even if it all seems to be looking the same, a confirmation at the start of the day is greatly appreciated. This allows me to adjust my schedule accordingly, such as taking dogs for a walk, or running a quick errand while i wait or stopping for gas rather than rushing home. This also allows me to not request short windows where you as clients have to be rushing the clock to make the time frame posted. I appreciate your respect for my time as well as yours and look forward to spending time with your pet.

Sara made our anxious dog feel very comfortable. She is responsive and easy to work with.

Sara is a great choice if your dog could use some time with dog friends for a bit. I was very comfortable leaving Chester with her for a week.

Sara was great and provided a safe and comfortable place to stay for Stormy (our newly adopted rescue/ velcro dog who does not want to leave her family)! We really appreciated her understanding of dog behavior to help Stormy feel less anxious and more comfortable. She was very responsive and reliable with checking in. We would definitely be happy to have Stormy stay for another visit any time!

Harvey had a great time at Sara’s house! He came home tired from playing. Looking forward to staying with Sara again! ❤️

We had a very good experience with Sara. She was flexible with timing as we were traveling and weren’t sure of our exact arrival (and she accommodated our early AM pick up). She was mindful of getting our pup used to the other dogs and followed our care instructions. She was responsive to our check-in texts. Tala came back to us in good spirits!

Schedule

This is my full time job at the moment and I live every minute of it. Communication with time frame is key for me so I can continue to allow flexibility with my clients needs as well as flexibility to accommodate the specific needs of the dogs in my care. Each dog and their needs are different and each day varries greatly for me so I can provide the proper care for each pet I get to spend time with. Those changes occasionally even are determined the day before sometimes way after a booking is made. A quick confirmation or even questions about changes day of drop off or pick up will allow me to be flexible with my guest and their schedule. I understand packing to leave gets tricky and coming back to reality is tough. Letting me know you are running 15 mins late will allow me to adjust as well.
