Pet care experience

I am very experienced in Dog and Cat care of all breeds, having owned them myself my whole life. I am experienced in Senior pet care, as well as administering oral medications. I have experience in training dogs and cats, as well as experience in puppy care and potty training. I also have experience working with other pets such as: rats, hampsters, chinchillas, fish, rabbits, etc. I currently work full time Mon-Fri from 8am-4:30pm. As well as working part time on Sundays from 11:15am-4:30pm. I am available to care for your pet Mon-Fri anytime before 7:45am and after 4:30pm. I am available to care for you pet anytime Saturday, and anytime Sunday before 11am and after 4:45pm. I am flexible with making sure your pet is cared for per your specific requests, schedule, and instructions. I am also flexible and available to use 30 mins between 8am-4:30pm Mon-Fri for walks, potty breaks, etc. I offer Pet Sitting, Drop in Visits, and Dog Walking. I am unable to board pets in my own home, since my 2 cats take awhile to warm up to other animals. Caged animals inside my home are ok, and be kept away from my 2 cats for peace and comfortability. When caring for your pet, I will stay in your home full time per your request, and whether I am staying in your home or just doing drop-ins, I will make sure to check on your pet/give potty breaks at least 3 times a day and spend a minimum of 15mins with your pet each visit. I do have my own leashes, toys (both cat and dog), and extra food/water bowls to provide if need be.

Sara was a pleasure to work with. She was very good with our dogs and she communicated very well with us. We would definitely hire her again.

Information Sara M. would like to know about your pet

I will need to know if your pet is sensative, scared, or aggressive towards other people, animals, and dogs. I will need to know if there are dietary restrictions, allergies, or schedules to follow, as well as if there are any medications that need to be administered while your pet is in my care. I will need to know whether your pet is potty trained, leash trained, and or house trained. I will also need to know of any other temperments, behaviors, restrictions, rules, and or requests that you feel is important for me to know while caring for your pet. I always require a Meet & Greet either in person or by video call for new clients to ensure the safety and comfortability of both parties and pets. :)

A typical day

I am able to walk your dog daily, or multiple times a day per requested. I will play with your pet, snuggle your pet, and love your pet as if it were my own! :) I love to hike, camp, go for walks, browse farmer's markets, etc. I would enjoy the possibility of bringing your pet if able along for those fun activities as well!
