Pet care experience

Calm 1 on 1 dog care with updates

Hello! My name is Sara, I live in Central Harlem, but I am originally from New Mexico. I adore dogs, I always had dogs growing up that ranged from the size of a Jack Russell Terrier to a Samoyed/Lab mix. Recently, I had an amazing, sassy 14 year old Chihuahua named Ginger (pictured pretty frequently). I have experience caring for my own, my friends, and family’s pets. I also have experience with senior and special needs dogs. I find it important to give dogs in my care consistent 1 on 1 attention with a lot of activity if required or a comfortable place for naps. I can care for two dogs of the same size at once but prefer to have one at a time. My schedule is pretty flexible, I work from home and receive Summer Fridays. I am attentive, a consistent communicator, easy going, and active. I am happy to discuss yours and your pet’s needs and expectations.

Sara was fantastic with Maple! She really looked after her and we felt confident leaving Maple in her care.

Sara was wonderful with Bella. She was patient and caring. She took her on 3-4 walks which Bella loved. I would definitely use her again.

Sara is a hardworking, caring, responsible individual who took great care of my puppy. She gave my five months old puppy her full and undivided attention. She asked about our routines and kept to them. She gave my puppy plenty of exercise, love, attention and the puppy was never left alone. She sent updates and pictures. I would very much recommend Sara

Schedule

I do work a standard 9-5, Monday- Friday corporate job. However, with a day’s notice I can choose days where I am working from home and receive Summer Fridays when I’m done by 1:30pm. I will be able to give consistent care to your pet Thursday-Sunday.

Safety, trust & environment

I have extra pee pads, poo bags, water and food bowls if necessary or forgotten. When it is my own home I prefer to care for one dog at a time. I am very respectful in another person’s home and follow directions exactly as required.

A typical day

Where I am currently located I have two parks in walking distance, both including dog areas. If your dog is antisocial I can keep a distance and make sure we are walking specific areas to avoid too much foot traffic. I love to be active and can meet your dog’s needs.

Please let me know what your dog requires whether inside or outside the home. What is is their behavior like with other dogs or people when going on walks? Do they have separation anxiety and what do you find helps soothe them?
