Availability
Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work part-time and remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be consistently available for the pets in my care. Because I’m home for most of the day, I’m able to provide regular check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship without long gaps. My routine easily adapts to each pet’s needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. Being remote also means I can keep a close eye on pets throughout the day, which is especially helpful for puppies, senior animals, or pets that need extra attention or monitoring. Overall, pet care isn’t something I have to squeeze in but it’s something I can prioritize and integrate seamlessly into my day, ensuring each pet gets consistent, attentive care.

About Sara G.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on providing reliable, attentive care that keeps pets comfortable and maintains their normal routine. During dog walks, I make sure each walk is tailored to the dog’s energy level, age, and personality. Whether it’s an active walk to burn energy or a slower, more relaxed pace for senior dogs, I prioritize safety, proper leash handling, and awareness of the surroundings at all times. I also reinforce good walking habits and make sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I take time to engage with each pet so they feel comfortable and cared for, not just “checked on.” I also monitor behavior and overall well-being, keeping an eye out for anything unusual. I always respect your home, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make each visit stress-free and consistent for both you and your pet.

Pet care experience
My combination of professional experience, hands-on knowledge, and genuine lifelong passion for animals sets me apart. I worked at Pet Paradise for four years, where I gained experience caring for a wide range of pets in a structured, high-standard environment. This gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety protocols, and how to handle pets with different temperaments and needs. I am trained in animal CPR, which allows me to respond quickly and responsibly in emergency situations, providing an extra level of safety and peace of mind. Beyond my professional experience, I’ve spent my entire life caring for pets belonging to friends and neighbors, so I’m very comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique personality. I’m especially patient and attentive, which helps when working with young pets who are still learning boundaries, as well as senior animals who may require a gentler, more understanding approach. Whether it’s reinforcing basic training, maintaining routines, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and loved, I take pride in providing reliable, compassionate care every time.

Reviews
Sara did a great job with our drop-in visits. I accidentally gave her the wrong lockbox code. She stayed patient and figured it out. Whew! Really impressive! She was punctual, communicative, and easy to work with throughout. I’d definitely recommend her and would book again.
I can’t recommend Sara highly enough—especially if you have a large breed dog and want someone who truly understands their needs. Sara has a calm, kind presence that dogs respond to immediately. I have 4 animals total (2 dogs, 2 cats), and Sara treats them as her own with patience and genuine care. Sara goes above and beyond in every way, and I always feel completely at ease knowing my animals are in such capable hands. Her communication is also outstanding. I receive regular updates, photos, and thoughtful notes that show just how attentive and engaged she is. It always makes being away so much easier knowing my pets are not only safe, but happy and thriving. If you have a large breed dog, you know how important it is to find someone experienced, reliable, and strong enough to handle them properly—Sara checks every box and then some. I wouldn’t trust anyone else as much as I trust her. Absolutely five stars—couldn’t ask for a better sitter!
Sara has walked and babysat my 2 rambunctious boxers for 4 years! She takes care of my babies like they are her own. She is always punctual, even when I need her last minute. Thank you for all your help!!
