Safety, trust & environment

I always want animals in my care to feel relaxed and safe, so I like to know all their words(go potty, outside, etc.) and their happy little quirks(loves to give kisses, favorite places to sleep, play and poop, territorial over food, etc.) I prefer to meet an animal with their owner before I take care of them 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. I want your home to look exactly as you left it, with healthy, happy fur kiddos waiting for you when you return! Please let me know locations of cleaning supplies and trash cans so I can take care of any accidents that might happen.

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! 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!

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!

Pet care experience

Do your furry pals need to be walked/let out daily? Need AM to PM pet care during your vacation? 🦮🐕‍🦺🐾 I have worked for years as a professional pet sitter with a licensed agency as well as through Rover, and I have two senior doggos of my own. 💜 One of my dogs has severe arthritis and needs help to walk and encouragement to eat, so I am familiar with senior needs. I can help senior dogs walk and exercise, as well as administer oral/nasal/ear medications. I keep a pet first aid kit in my car at all times, just in case! ⛑️ I am comfortable around all ages, sizes, breeds, and energy levels 🐕‍🦺🐈🐩🐕🦮🐈‍⬛
