My full time job is caring for your fur baby and making sure they are healthy, happy, and comfortable, until you get home. Since this is AZ, our days are planned around the heat. In the winter we spend as much time outside as possible, walking, hiking, playing fetch. I like to teach new pups how to find treats in our designated dig spot in the backyard. In the warmer months I'll set an alarm early so we can still spend a few hrs outside before it gets too hot. I like to set up a kiddy pool so all of the pups can run around and cool off. I take AZ heat very seriously and am always on the look out for animals getting overheated. I will also always check the temperature of the sidewalk before heading out for a walk.

Safety, trust & environment

If I'm caring for a pet in your home my in home visits include *Feeding and fresh water (I'll also keep the bowls clean) *Potty breaks *Playtime or cuddles *walks or enrichment time *medication management (if needed) *Mail collection *plant watering. If there is something you need done and it can be completed within the 30 min timeframe Id be happy to help. My goal is for your pup to feel happy, fed, and loved everyday before I leave. At my home I have a medium size fenced yard that is half grass half dirt. I also have a designated dig pit for the dogs who love to dig. I have a one yr old, male, 25lb mini Aussie/terrier mix, who is the welcome wagon and loves all dogs. He's available all day long to play or just cuddle in the sun. In the winter he gets walked 3 times a day and in the summer we go early in the am and late at night. We also enjoy going to the park when it is empty or hiking. I have a medium size crate in my bedroom but there is room for a larger one. If your pup prefers to sleep in his crate alone, I also have a guest bedroom they can go in. But I usually suggest letting your dog sleep in his crate or dog bed in my room since its a new environment.

Information Sara K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs or quirks your pet might have so I can make sure to accommodate their needs. Any allergies or things that they absolutely hate so I can make sure to avoid them.

A typical day

All pups will be walked multiple times throughout the day. I usually do two casual walks and one big exercise. When the dog park is empty we like to go there for about an hour so the dogs can run around. We will never go into the dog park if there are other dogs in there. While at home there are plenty of toys to play with, a fenced yard, an outside dig pit, and space to play fetch. If your dog enjoys outdoor adventures they can join us for a hike or a walk around the river. If your dog is more laid back and prefers to lay around, I have plenty of dog beds, and good spots to lay in the sun.

Pet care experience

While I am new to Rover, I have been caring for my friends, family, and neighbors pets for the last 30 yrs. Just like humans, no two dogs are a like, so every job is catered specifically to your pets needs. I know how stressful travel can be on our animals so I always approach each assignment with extreme calm, patience, and positivity. I am a big believer in positive reinforcement. That way your dog/cat and I can build a strong and trusting relationship. I strive to treat everyone's pets as if they are my own fur babies.

Sara was so wonderful with our Dogs, Cat and fish! She was very caring and helpful with packages as well. Sara understands our border collie and chihuahua’s needs and they love to play with her! Thanks Sara!

Sara has a wonderful way with all animals. Her affection for her pets is truly unconditional. In her spare time, Sara has dedicated herself to becoming an exceptional dog trainer. She would go above and beyond for your pets. I would trust Sara with my dogs anytime.

So happy we found Sara K.! she was professional, followed all instructions, and my dog was completely relaxed when I returned. Highly recommend her for anyone nervous about leaving their pets, my pup didn’t want her to leave!

Sara has been watching my pets and the pets of my friends and family for over 10 years. When I work out of town my cat and dog will come to stay with her. She is always sending photos of what they are getting up to, going for walks and hikes. A true animal lover.
