WFH, Flexible, Compassionate

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs, 3 in my family home, and I currently have a rescue who I’ve trained and have attended trainings with. I have experience with pups that are dog-reactive and sensitive, as my dog is one. I also have experience giving pills to stubborn pups that spit them out.

Safety, trust & environment

I cannot house any pets at my place but I can come to yours! I am also currently using Rover for babysitting our dog so, I can empathize how nerve-wracking it can be leaving your baby with a stranger. Rest assured that I am a capable handler and love to see dogs succeed. I’ll continue with whatever training the dog needs as I know continuity is important in training, I have experience with leash etiquette training, prey-drive curbing, dog-reactivity mitigation, and teaching new commands. Safety is very important, please let me know if your dog is special needs or has any behavioral quirks (destructive, food aggression, dog/human reactivity, resource guarding, etc.) and I will be honest in my ability to care for them.

Information Sara C. would like to know about your pet

I want to know everything! Your pup’s favorite toy, activity, and treat. What gets them excited? How do you get them to mind? Are they sensitive to sound or certain movements? What should I be mindful of?

A typical day

I love challenging dogs mentally as well as physically. I am down for a game of fetch for the athletes, a puzzle for the brainy kids, or a leisurely walk with the seniors. I have been training my own dog to find certain scents, let me know if scent work is something your pup’s inner hound likes!

I work from home and am flexible with my schedule. I can go on longer walks if your dog needs more exercise. If your dog needs more attention, as long as I can get a decent wifi connection, I can stay longer.
