Freelancer ready to take care of your best friend

Hello! My name is Sara and I am an animal lover. Since my childhood I spent a lot of times with animals and I’ve learned how to take care of them. I live with a 9 years old German shepherd and thanks to him I had the opportunity to take part in professional courses about dogs behaviour and training. Through this courses, I learned dogs’ body language and their different way of socialising. Plus, since he had some reactivity issues, I’ve read several books about and I started training him for helping him coping better with the environment. If your dog has reactivity issues, I’ll be more than glad to help out. I’d be happy also to help you training them during the time that I spend with them, if needed. I will treat your dog as if he/she was mine, I’ll cuddle him, play with him and give him all the love!

Sara is a very experienced, loving, and caring dog sitter. She has been absolutely amazing with our dog Moritz, giving him a lot of attention and long walks. We always feel relaxed going on a vacation, and our dog gets very excited too when he hears the words "Sara and Diablo" :)

Sara is such a great dog Sitter. She took care of my two dogs for the weekend and it was perfect. Her dog, Diablo is also very gentle and there were no problems at all. Also was Sara very responsible and gave the medicine to one of our dogs absolutely perfectly. So I highly recommend Sara as a dog sitter and it was not the last time I brought them to her ?

Sara hat ein paar Tage auf mein Hündchen aufgepasst, und ich kann sie dafür nur weiterempfehlen! Sie ist ein sehr netter Mensch und kann sich auch auf schüchtere Hunde gut einstellen. Klare Empfehlung!

I recommend Sara because she is mature and responsible. She took care several times of my two dogs and my cat and everything has always worked out perfectly. Principally I called her for walks and for staying at my place, she has done her work professionally and gently. She has also trained one of my two dogs and she has hosted them at her place also overnight. She is devoted and your dogs are gonna love her.

Sara is really responsible and caring. I have an husky who has trust issues, but thanks to her patience and kindness, he started loving her. She has always sent photos and videos while dog sitting him, so since the first time I felt relaxed when Ice was with her. When she was dog sitting him at my place, she was always respectful. She is reliable and dedicated to her job, I do recommend her!

Schedule

I usually wake up pretty early, I go to the dog park with Diablo around 6:30 and and we are usually back around 7:30. I go to my office for a couple hours and I’m back around 13.30 (just a couple days a week). Another one hour walk and then I usually go to the gym for 1/1.5 hours. Then it’s time for at home activities like mental games, hide and seek, and a bit of fetch. A short walk before dinner and then some cuddle time. I go for the last walk around 22/23 and then it’s bed time.

Safety, trust & environment

I live alone in a big flat, so the dogs can always run around, be in separate rooms and have some space for themselves. I always make sure that water is available, as well as some comfort stuffed animals and soft surfaces to lay down and snuggle. I have also a camera to keep an eye on them when I’m at the office or at the gym. My neighborhood is very safe and quiet and there are a lot of dog owners.

I always prefer to meet the dog previously, and go at least once together to the dog park. I need to know if he takes medicaments, his fears, favorite games/ toys, behavior towards other dogs and behavior at home.
