Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment where your pets can be themselves. I have an unfenced yard, and my neighborhood provides places for your dog and I to go on long walks as soon as we leave the front door! I believe pets are part of the family, and they are always allowed on my furniture. I have a laid-back Chihuahua Dachshund mix and an energetic young cat. I do not provide boarding or doggy daycare for more than one family at the same time. When providing care at your home, I will treat it as my own, double-check locks, and can bring in packages, water plants, etc.

Information Sara M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any specific needs that your pet has. I'd also like to know what behavioral changes to look out for: if your pup interacts well with other dogs, if your pet typically gets stressed for any reason, or if your pet gets anxious when there's a thunderstorm or the doorbell rings, etc.

A typical day

I want to make sure your pets feel at home. We will do all of the activities your pet typically does in a day, whether that's going for long walks, playing with toys, or cuddling up on the bed or couch!

Pet care experience

Cat and Dog First Aid certified through the American Red Cross! For as long as I can remember, I have had a pet and knew I wanted to work with animals. I planned to go into the field of veterinary medicine, but changed course due to life circumstances. I have experience caring for dogs with mobility issues and administering oral medication. I am skilled in caring for puppies and senior dogs, as well as looking after high-energy pups. I can provide short or long walks (including for large dogs and leash pullers), enrichment activities, feedings and treats, and whatever else your dog needs. I currently provide care for several canine clients off of the Rover platform. I also have experience with other animals, like cats and birds!

Sara is great! She took amazing care of my cat while we were away. Could not recommend her more! She was very pleasant and easy to work with.
