Dog running for fit, happy pups

Pet care experience

I specialize in medium-size, healthy active dogs. I have been running with our Australian Cattle Dog since we adopted him and I've found that this has great benefits to his mood, energy level and focus for training. I'm a competitive distance runner, so I can run slow and steady as long as your pup can. Please let me know if your pup has any health concerns that could be exacerbated by running, before booking. A long walk may be better than a run in such cases. I want to be a dog walker because I know how hard it is to find someone who will really give my own dog good exercise and the needs that arise with busy schedules and working hours. I aim to service that need. I have more than a decade of experience with dogs in a range of ages, sizes and activity levels.

I've always known Sara to be an animal lover. Her pets adore her and follow her around the house. Her dog from years ago was obviously showered with love and rested on my lap the first day he met me. Her current dog also greeted me in an enthusiastic but well-behaved way when he first met me. All her animals have been well-trained and well taken care of.

Feather and furry parents, Sara is the ultimate in love and compassion. She understands your instructions so she can fully appreciate your pet and give them the undivided attention necessary. Contact Sara sit and talk to her and allow your pet to tell you yes “We will keep her!”

Sara is wonderful with dogs! I've seen her thoughtfully research and plan out a walking schedule that is sensible to the needs of different breeds. She's very responsible in that way and trustworthy. Most importantly I've seen how responsive dogs are to her and the training she provides them with, without overfeeding them too!

Sara has been great at taking care of my furry buddy. While in her care, Cash was walked or ran at least three times a day, which was necessary given his activity level. She is very attentive to detail and takes all instructions very seriously, so I was never worried that Cash may be getting fed more than his diet required, having his training disrupted, or being taught poor behavior. Cash always came back very happy from seeing Sara and super excited each time he would see her.
