I once pet my dog for three hours
Pet care experience
My first pet was, and still is, a golden doodle (now 13) who is as mellow as dogs get. I have petsat my older sister's very energetic beagle and my older brother's very special Frenchie. In addition, I have volunteered at an animal shelter walking and socializing dogs. Working with such a variety of dogs has taught me that each dog has a unique personality and clear preferences. It's important to pay attention to and accommodate each dog's needs and routines. Do they like a lot of petting, are they lap dogs or would they rather be cared for and then left alone? Does your dog stop to smell every blade of grass or does he/she run right past as the smells? All these details are important! I have also had a variety of other pets -- hamsters, fish, cats and currently a bearded dragon. I enjoy them all!
Reviews
Sara is awesome - a true pet lover! I have a 13 year old, totally deaf, golden doodle. When Sara arrives (always at the agreed upon time) to take my dog for a walk, she knows how to enter my home and get the dog's attention without startling my often sleeping dog. I also have an indoor kitty and Sara takes extra steps to be sure the kitty doesn't escape while she is trying to get the dog out the door! Such patience and understanding of pet behavior! While on walks, my dog has an uncanny ability to find gross stuff she shouldn't eat (but does whenever she can). Sara does a great job of walking my dog and keeping her from eating smelly stuff on the ground. Sara is responsible, learns each pet's behavior quirks, and clearly enjoys her work. Sara's care for my dog (and cat) have made our lives so much easier!

Information Sara K. would like to know about your pet
It will be important for me to learn your dog's habits, social skills and eating routine. Are there any "must dos" or "don't allows" in your dog's daily routine.
A typical day
I will respect the routine and needs of each dog in my care. Some love to run, some amble and sniff. I look forward to getting to know your dog!
