Availability

My hybrid work schedule allows me the flexibility to take daily walks and interact with fellow dog owners. In addition, my husband works fully from home, so he is home throughout the day. His office faces the backyard, so he will always have an eye on the pups if they go out. I take my dog on a 2 mile walk every morning, and 1 mile walk every evening.

Safety, trust & environment

Rest assured, your pup will never leave my sight while under my care. I prioritize their safety and constant supervision. Your trust in me is greatly appreciated. When caring for pets I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being: Maintaining routine, Feeding and hydration, Exercise and Playtime, Hygiene and cleanup, Medication and health monitoring, Affection and companionship, security, communication, and respect for property. We do have a shorter fence in our new home. Its 4.5 feet, so I would like to ensure your dog does not have a history of jumping fences.

Information Sara D. would like to know about your pet

(1). Can your dog go off leash if we attend a dog park or go to millcreek for hiking? (2.) Does your dog have set eating times throughout the day, if so, what times? (3)Can your dog accept treats?

A typical day

I walk my dog every morning for about 2 miles and do a 1 mile evening walk. We also have a backyard, where my dog likes to sit outside and sunbathe. In the summer, I enjoy going to millcreek where dogs can roam off leash and do fun hikes.

Pet care experience

We have a dog named Maple that we adopted and she has become a trained service dog. I also have dog sat many friends dogs through out the years, making them excited to come back over when they see my house. What distinguishes me as a dog sitter is my unwavering commitment to treating your pets like my own. I prioritize multiple daily walks and often take the dogs on hikes ensuring that they remain engaged and active throughout their stay with me. My commitment to creating a safe and loving environment for all dogs in my care, combined with my expertise in training and in dog care, ensures that your furry family member receives exceptional, personalized attention during their stay with me. Feel free to look through my dog sitting pictures. We have so much fun :)

Sara is the best! She’s watched my dog Charley several times, and I’m pretty sure my dog has more fun staying when her than me. I know my dog is in loving hands when I leave her which brings me a lot of comfort and get so many updates and pictures when I’m away. Charley seriously has the best time with her and is so excited to see her when I drop her off. I’m so grateful to have a dog sitter I can trust !!
