Availability
Im currently on break so im available most days and nights of the week, including weekends, up until the 5TH of SEPTEMBER. So im more than open for any arrangements throughout the whole week, as well as any last minute arrangements PS. Please be aware however that I may not be able to offer last minute arrangements for curtain services as well as reactive or overly aggressive dogs, though I am always open for discussion. Everything is explained below and in the *know in advance about your pets* section of my profile The amount of drop ins or dog walks I can provide a day may vary on the distance between residences, this can be discussed during the booking. If you plan on boarding your pup or joining our doggy day care, I will REQUIRE that all dogs that are to be present are to meet up and interact before hand, so that you and I have the piece of mind knowing that the dogs get along. I am only be able to provide pick up and drop offs for dogs in boarding or doggy day care if you live a 30 to 40 minutes max away by foot from my house as I do not have a liscence. This is also because, depending on the weather I wouldn't want the pup to struggle in the heat/cold or tear/scrape their paw pads from walking on the asfalt for too long, as many paths don't have a lot of green patches the dog can walk on to prevent this. I am open to discussing any different arrangements and prices you may have in mind. Please message about availability if you have a curtain day and time in mind, as I am generally free every day till the 5TH of SEPTEMBER but may have some appointments I have to attend during the day. Please contact me with any questions.:)

Safety, trust & environment
I have a lovely German shepherd which I take on long walks, feed, groom, play with, train and administer medication too. We often go over his training/tricks or do some sniff searching (looking for hidden toys) to tire him out not only physically but also mentally. He is a larger dog (41kg), but overall I’m quite capable of keeping control of him on leash ,even if he sees a leaf flying by and decides it’s his personal mission to catch it. While your pet is under my care, I will treat them as if they are my own, and so follow the same principles I do with my dog, ensuring that we all have a good time. If you would like I can even try teaching your pups some simple, fun tricks that I had taught mine. Note, however, their is no guarantee that they will , as each dog is different and differently motivated. I am not a profesional trainer, just someone who has a simple understanding of teaching dogs, and a willing, food motivated, German shepherd. When the heat isn’t smouldering we spend a lot of time together in our garden, playing fetch and running around, there are also quite a few places in the garden providing shade and a cool place to rest. The park that is a 5min walk from the house also provides a good amount of space for running and playing, as well as shade provided by the trees, so that even on hot days walks can be enjoyed. The patio also allows for comfortable night sits, allowing the dog to cool off in the cold night air, from a long day.

Information Sara R. would like to know about your pet
I require all owner inform me of any AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR your pet may display, any specific INDICATORS unique to the pet, any SENSITIVE AREAS, if aggression is displayed towards animals or people etc. These MUST be communicated to me in messages when booking, IF these things are not provided on the pets profile. Be aware that if I deem that I may not be able to handle the level of aggression displayed by your pet I will not agree to care for them. THIS DOES NOT MEAN that I will definitely not accept to care for your pet if they display some aggression. HOWEVER, I am less likely to accept LAST MINUTE bookings , boarding or doggy day care, depending on the levels of aggression generally displayed by your pet, as I have my dog at home and would not want him to be harmed. I would first HAVE TO meet your pet to determine if I can handle them, as well as their general reaction and attitude towards my presence, or my dogs, if you plan on leaving your pup in my home. IF I am to provide any MEDICATION please provide me with CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS on WHAT I am to give , the TIME it should be given and WHERE i can find the medication in your home if I’m doing a drop in or caring for your pets in your own home. If it’s medication that is to be provided during doggy day care or boarding then please provide the above. However, I would request you only bring the exact amount of medication that is too be given for the amount of time the dog is to reside in my care. I have a general experience with administering medication too pets ,but if there is a way you do it and it works, please let me know. All this MUST be communicated to me in messages when booking, IF it isn’t already provided in the pets profile. Any allergies, Illnesses, IF your dog is post surgery, sensitivities to smells or sounds, sensitive areas/places your pet generally doesn’t like being touched, things they are generally scared off etc. That MAY NOT BE PROVIDED in your pets profile. This would be appreciated to ensure the comfort of your pets. These can be provided in messages during booking, or a list on paper to ensure I avoid any thing that may cause your pet discomfort. ANYTHING else you may think I need to know, even small things like their favourite toys, places to hide, favourite places to be pet, silly behaviours, favourite snacks, favourite places to walk etc. Would be greatly appreciated, as I want to ensure all pets have a wonderful time spent, and it would be much easier to do if I had some of the insight you have on your pets favourite parts of life.:) If you have any questions, please contact me.
A typical day
I love walking and spending time outside, so I’m more than happy to go on wonderful and long adventures with your pup, as well as spend time with them on the garden. I love taking pictures so, if given consent, I will gladly take pictures of your pet having fun. I will happily spend time with your pet at home and fit to their needs, if they want to be pet , if they want to play or if they just want some company. I’m a fast learner and with both the information you provide me about your pet before hand as well as the things I’ll learn from spending time with them, I hope to be able to create a connection and understanding with your pet so that the time we spend together is greatly enjoyable. (No pictures of pets will be posted anywhere with out the owners consent, so if you have any specifications around the photography of your pets please let me know :))

Pet care experience
I have been around dogs for most of my life. I currently own a German Shepherd, Sajrus, who is the light of my world. I have trained him myself to perform some simple tricks like laying his face on my hand or walking between my legs. He has long hair so I’ve also got great experience with brushing and dealing with the lovely hair left all over my clothes (note I am not a professional dog groomer). Sajrus is also a dog with a good few allergies, which he receives medication for daily (pills), giving me some good experience on giving pets their medication. I also have experience with taking care of a range of different sized dogs, from Amstaff dogs too French bulldogs. Though I do not have as much experience with cats, as I've never owned one, I’ve been around a range of different cats owned by my friends or family, some more skiddish and some more feisty. I’m patient and more than willing to take time to get to know your pet and how i can make them feel comfortable and happy, ensuring you have nothing to worry about.:) I’m also Polish and fluent in both polish and English so if your pet (like mine) doesn’t respond to commands in English but may in the latter, I am able to provide.

Reviews
I’ve known Sara for years, and I can say without hesitation that she’s one of the most caring, responsible, and genuinely animal-loving people I’ve ever met. Pets aren’t just a side hustle for her—they’re her passion. Sara treats every dog and cat like family. She’s patient with the nervous ones, playful with the energetic ones, and incredibly attentive to details that most people overlook: medication schedules, favorite toys, little quirks, and those quiet moments when an animal just needs calm company. She always sends updates with photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. What sets Sara apart is how seriously she takes the trust that comes with looking after someone’s beloved companion. She’s reliable, communicative, and has that rare mix of warmth and professionalism that makes you feel completely at ease leaving your pet in her care. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pet like their own and give them the kind of attention and safety you’d want for them yourself, Sara R. is that person. I recommend her wholeheartedly. Chris S.
Sara has a wonderful way with animals. She is incredibly patient and approaches them with genuine care and dedication, pouring her whole heart into looking after them. She possesses a special magic that makes animals naturally gravitate toward her and approach her with trust—something many people have observed when seeing her interact with their pets. The animals are well-cared-for, taken for walks and runs, and—of course—receive plenty of petting and affection. She is consequential with commands and knows how to administer medication so smoothly that the animal barely notices. As for grooming—well, the fur she brushes out is often enough to create a doppelgänger of the dog itself. Our dog walks behind her like a shadow. She is truly trustworthy.
