Pet care experience

Dogs > people

I recently moved to Auburn, Alabama, from Orange County, California, in November 2024, where I provided dog care for a variety of breeds and personalities. I earned positive reviews and built strong relationships with both pets and their owners during my time there. Living in Auburn, surrounded by its beautiful scenery and welcoming community, allows me to continue providing exceptional care for clients’ pets in a safe and enjoyable environment. My passion for working with dogs goes beyond a job—it’s a heartfelt commitment. Growing up with dogs has given me a deep understanding and love for them, which I bring to every pet I care for. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I have extensive experience in offering attentive and loving care. I take pride in being reliable, punctual, and adaptable to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s administering medication, following specific dietary requirements, going on long walks, or simply providing companionship, I am dedicated to ensuring every pet’s happiness and well-being.

Sara was absolutely amazing! She took great care of Bailey while we were away! She made him feel comfortable and attended to all his needs. Our care instructions were followed and she would send me updates, photos and videos which calm my nerves. I 100% recommend Sara and will be calling her again!

Sara took excellent care of my dog, Cowboy. He warmed up to her quickly, and she kept me updated with frequent photos and messages. Sara followed all my instructions perfectly, from feeding schedules to playtime. Her dedication and love for animals are clear. I highly recommend Sara to anyone needing a caring and responsible dog sitter. Cowboy and I are very happy with her service. Thank you, Sara!

Sara is excellent with animals, reliable, and kind. My dog was very selective with people due to being in a shelter most of his life but fell in love with Sara from the very beginning! Thank you Sara!

Schedule

Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine as it's not just a job for me; it's a passion. With my flexible schedule, I allocate dedicated time for feeding, walking, grooming, and play sessions. My husband works as a barber in our home and as for me, I’m fully at home for this season. I’m prioritizing my health so I’m taking time off work so this is a perfect time for me and outlet. I understand the importance of maintaining consistency and ensuring the well-being of the pets under my care. Whether it's during weekdays or weekends, I prioritize their needs and ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home or my client's home, I provide comprehensive pet care tailored to the specific needs of each animal. This includes regular feeding according to their dietary requirements, ensuring access to fresh water, providing daily exercise through walks or playtime, administering medications if needed, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. I also offer companionship and affection to keep them mentally stimulated and happy. Additionally, I'm attentive to any special instructions or requests from pet owners to ensure their peace of mind while they're away.

A typical day

I'll engage pets in a variety of fun activities to keep them entertained and mentally stimulated. This may include interactive play sessions with toys, stimulating games like fetch or hide-and-seek, leisurely walks in the neighborhood or at the park, and even puzzle toys or treat-dispensing games to encourage their natural problem-solving abilities. I'll tailor activities to each pet's preferences and energy levels to ensure they have a great time while under my care.

Ahead of time, it's crucial for me to know important details about clients' pets to provide the best care possible. This includes their dietary preferences and any specific feeding schedules, any medical conditions or medications they require, their typical behavior and temperament, any fears or anxieties they may have, their exercise needs and activity level, and any specific training commands or routines they follow. Understanding these details helps me create a comfortable and safe environment for the pets I'm caring for and ensures I can meet their individual needs effectively.
