Pet care experience
Do you need your furry pals taken care of this spring/summer during your family vacation? Let me help! I have worked for years as a pet sitter with a licensed agency and I have two senior doggos of my own! I understand how important our fur family is and want to help you keep your loved ones healthy and happy! I am comfortable around all ages, sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I keep a pet first aid kit in my car at all times, just in case! Let me know every little thing about your fur family! I want to maintain consistency in your animal’s life while I am helping care for them, so let me know the routine! I keep thorough and updated notes on my phone on every client and pet’s instructions, so I have a reference and will not be badgering you with questions during the visit ☺️
Reviews
Absolutely fantastic! Winston loves Sara, and she's just so wonderful with him!
Sara is fantastic. She takes the time to Communicate and follows instructions succinctly. My cat warmed up to her quickly and she sends amazing pictures of their time together
Fantastic with Winston. Let him run around outside and get some sun in, and also made sure he pottied.
Sara has been a blessing in our home. After losing our older black lab we asked Sara to help with our mini Australian Shepherd puppy. Sara is always on time and so sweet with our dogs. We are beyond thankful to have her! We now have a new puppy, and she is amazing with her too! Sara is flexible, and are animals just love her, including our cats!! We highly recommend Sara!!

I always want animals in my care to feel relaxed and safe. I prefer to meet an animal with its owner before I take care of it alone. I will only walk dogs on a leash, no off leash walking. I never wear headphones or use my phone excessively while taking care of your pet. I always use pet waste bags on walks and dispose of it in the proper receptacle at the end.
Information Sara G. would like to know about your pet
I want to keep your best friends calm and relaxed while we hang out, so make sure to tell me about any behavioral quirks or helpful commands! What words are good for bathroom business? “Go potty” or “go poop” or something different? What words do you use with them to stay calm and under control(e.g. “sit” “stay” “Down” “drop it”)? Do they have favorite toys or spots in the house? Are there places they are not allowed to be? Couch, guest room, parts of the yard, etc. Where do they enjoy being pet the most? Head, ears, chin, belly? Are there some areas they are very sensitive about and I should avoid touching? E.g tummy, tail, feet. Do they have a medical condition or are taking medication? What is the best thing to do for bathroom/mud/other messy accidents? Let me know it all! I want to maintain consistency in your animal’s life while I am helping care for them, so let me know the routine!

A typical day
Daily walks for sure! Time in the yard with a ball, frisbee or any other favorite toy! Snuggles, treats and head scratches for your fur babies! Let me know their favorites and we will do them all!

I feed/water and walk my senior dogs every day. My oldest needs daily carprofen and benadryl for arthritis and allergies. Both my dogs are mutts and are sweet as pie. I love how goofy and unconditionally loving dogs are!
