Pet care experience
Home Full-Time, Animal Lover!
My name is Sara and I have been caring for dogs actively for about 14 years, but have been loving them for 29. I graduated from Chico State with a healthcare administration degree back in 2016, but work selling security software. Working from home allows me the privilege of being a full-time companion to your cherished pup! They'll have the comfort of a familiar environment and a loving human presence throughout the day. Being punctual and reliable is second nature to me. You can count on me to adhere to schedules and ensure your pup's routine is maintained seamlessly. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to entrust your dog to someone new. That's why I'm committed to open communication, providing regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands. In my home, your fur baby will find companionship in my own adorable Sheepadoodle, June. She's not just a pet, but a treasured member of our family. We understand the importance of finding trustworthy hands for our furry family members, and rest assured, your dog will be treated with the same love and care as June. We share our space with two feline friends, Martini and Malone. They're seasoned experts in coexisting with dogs, ensuring a harmonious environment for all our four-legged guests. For cat owners: As a self-appointed cat lady, my passion for these graceful creatures knows no bounds. With two of my own, and dreams of having a whole pride (if my husband would allow it!), you can trust that your cats will be in the hands of someone who adores them as much as you do. While I currently have two cherished cats, I've had the pleasure of fostering numerous kittens through CFFR. Fostering cats has not only expanded my knowledge but also my love for cats. I understand the unique needs and temperaments that cats can have, and I'm committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for every feline friend that enters my care. No matter your cat's quirks, I'm equipped to provide them with the attention and care they need. Administering medicine to our feline friends can be a daunting task, but it's one I'm more than comfortable with. I have experience in ensuring your cat receives their medication in a stress-free and gentle manner. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Feel free to reach out, and let's arrange a meet-and-greet to see if we're the perfect match for your beloved pets!

Best dog walker in town. My little pup loves Sara. Friendly, reliable and knows a lot a bout dogs. Kind and considerate and book for walks as needed due to care and attention to my furry baby.
Kai came back well-exercised and happy. Sara is punctual and professional and I felt my pup was in good hands.
Sara was amazing with my cat! She loved my cat like her own and sent me so many videos and pictures so I could see how happy and loved my kitty was during my trip. I felt much more comfortable on my trip knowing that my cat was in such good hands. Will definitely book Sara again!
Sara is great! Super friendly, reliable & trustworthy. And great with dogs. My dog is so excited for her visits!!
Sara always takes such good care of our cat! So much playtime and cute photos and videos. We know Scout’s in great hands!

Schedule
Caring for pets is not just a hobby, but an integral part of my daily life. With a flexible work-from-home schedule, I have the privilege of being with your baby full-time. This means they'll have my undivided attention, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved throughout the day. Regular feeding schedules, exercise routines, and ample cuddle time are all seamlessly integrated into our day. Additionally, my experience as a foster parent for CFFR has further enriched my understanding of various pet needs and behaviors. This means I'm adept at catering to individual quirks and preferences, ensuring your pet feels safe and content during their stay with me. In case any special care is required, such as administering medication, you can trust that I have the expertise to handle it with care and patience. Ultimately, pet care is not just a task, but a genuine passion of mine. Your pet will not only receive essential care but also the love and attention they deserve, making them feel right at home.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When your cherished pet stays with me, they become a part of our family. They'll enjoy a cozy and stimulating environment filled with comfortable spots for relaxation and play. Feeding schedules are strictly adhered to, and fresh water is always available. Regular potty breaks and outdoor adventures in a secure, pet-friendly space are also on the agenda. For any special requirements, such as medication administration or specific dietary needs, you can trust that I'll handle them with precision and care. Your pet's comfort and well-being are my top priorities.
Pets
A typical day
Every dog under my care is treated to a tailored experience filled with activities that cater to their unique preferences and energy levels. From lively play sessions to leisurely strolls, I ensure they receive the attention and engagement they need to thrive. I love taking dogs on exciting adventures to local parks and nature trails. These outings provide not only physical exercise but also opportunities for them to explore new scents, sights, and sounds. All hikes and extra activities will be approved by owners. For those pups who prefer a bit more relaxation, we'll have plenty of cuddle time and be given plenty of love! I have a few favorite spots that are perfect for dog walks. I enjoy walking Sloans Lake and Berkely Park as well as local hikes. These locations provide a safe and enriching environment for our walks, ensuring your pup gets the most out of their outdoor time. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a balanced mix of exercise, mental stimulation, and relaxation, tailored to your dog's unique needs and preferences. Your furry friend will return home happy, content, and ready for a good snooze!
