Pet care experience
Hi there! I’d be honored to dog walk or dog/cat sit for any pup/kitty who needs it (definitely including pit bulls and the like). I will give them my undivided attention and love, and can run around/play fetch with your pups/kitty all day! Or just snooze under the covers together if that’s their preferred mood. (For boarding: I do not have any pets in my apartment and I live right near Central Park and Riverside Park!) I just moved back to the city (where I grew up). My adoration and respect for all animals and extensive experience with them can be seen throughout my whole life: 1. Worked at a farm sanctuary for over a year; feeding, watering, medicating, nurturing, and conducting health checks for animals such as pigs, goats, cows, horses, chickens, ducks, etc. (including 6 hr/day care for a blind and deaf baby goat). 2. Dog sat for friends when I was a kid living in NYC and in upstate New York after college- including sitting for my friend’s four crazy (but super fun, adorable) dogs for a week! 3. Grew up with rescue black cats! Had my cat, Papagena, for 16 years. 4. Volunteered at animal shelters in NYC, horse stables in upstate NY, and even at a panda sanctuary in China for a weekend! 5. Majored in Environmental Science in college, with a concentration in Conservation Biology. 6. Have been vegetarian my whole life (my parents were vegetarian and raised me as such)! 7. Want to pet literally every animal I meet! My testimonials speak to, not just my experience with animals, but the special bond I have with them. I’m very good with all types of personalities and sizes, and can handle bad weather. Please, feel free to message me if you have any questions or concerns! I’m always happy to do a Meet&Greet.
Reviews
Amazing as always!
Sara was amazing. I think our cat misses her sometimes and she was only with her for a week.
Sara is an excellent dog walker. She is knowledgeable about dogs, calm and professional. Our dog was at ease with her from the start. We definitely plan to use her services again.
Sara was great! She was dropping-in on my cat while I was away on a weekend trip. Sara kept us in the loop the entire time and sent many photos, which I very much appreciated. I'd definitely recommend Sara for all your pet needs!

Information Sara E. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog have separation anxiety? Does he/she have quirks or tendencies? Does he/she require medication or special care?
A typical day
We can go anywhere your dog is used to or likes the most- the park, dog parks, a certain neighborhood, etc. I’m an athlete, so we can run or play fetch all day. I’m not interested in “pack” walks unless all the dogs are from the same home!
