Animal enthusiast with free time

Pet care experience

As an passionate pet owner, I understand the desire to spoil your furry friends in any way possible. I grew up with all kinds of animals (from ponies to pythons) so caring for and understanding pets is second nature to me. I got my first dog when I was 8 and I've been training and pampering my pets ever since. I've had high maintenance dogs like Australian Shepherds as well as lap dogs like my older Chihuahua, my first dog. My childhood dream was to train animals or to be a wildlife photographer and now I am in school for Wildlife Biology! I'd love to continue with my passion of working with animals in any way. Whether we're going for hikes or snuggling together at home, hanging out with my pets is my favorite way to spend my free time.

Safety, trust & environment

I always try to make sure my pets needs are not only met, but exceeded. I'm always looking for new ways to make sure my pets are well-cared for. Other people's pets deserve the same amount of care! I want to make sure I'm giving them what they need and want without making them uncomfortable or stressed. I try to evaluate how comfortable a pet is with me and adjust my approach as needed.

Information Sara M. would like to know about your pet

How is your dog with other animals? What kind of obedience or tricks does she/he know? What does your dog love to do with you?

A typical day

We can play Frisbee or catch if your dog is into toys. Depending on your request, we can go for hikes or spend time at a park. Walking through neighborhoods or downtown is a great way for your pup to smell all kinds of exciting smells!

I'm currently a full-time student who's also working part time. My schedule varies day-to-day but I'm able to plan accordingly and delegate my time as needed. As I have pets of my own, it's second nature to think about animal care throughout the day.
