Safety, trust & environment

I love walks/runs, dog parks, hiking, etc., mostly just whatever your specific pet needs. Cuddles and head scratches are also usually received well by all the doggies I’ve taken care of in the past :)

Information Sara R. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any limitations or special needs, please do not hesitate to let me know! I also am not afraid of messy pets. I’ve cleaned up many messes throughout the years, and I truly do not mind at all!

A typical day

Tossing a pup a tennis ball, hanging out in the grass, and head scratches are the finer things in life honestly. I also love giving treats, keeps ‘em happy :)

Pet care experience

Hey, y’all! My name’s Sara and I’m originally from Virginia, but will be moving to ABQ in August for my job. I started pet sitting when I was real young and quickly realized how much I enjoy it. I’ve kennel/potty trained puppies, administered oral medication to both cats and dogs, taken care of low-energy elderly pets, as well as taken care of a variety of more exotic pets including reptiles, fish and chickens. I adjust to meet the needs of your specific pet and try to match the energy needs as best I can.

I am a very nervous dog mom. I was incredibly anxious to leave my two small, senior dogs with anyone. My dogs were immediately comfortable with Sara. Her gentle, sweet nature put me at ease right away. I came home to two perfectly relaxed dogs. I am very grateful for the care Sara gave, especially to my dog that needs medications and extra attention! I am already booking her for my next trip away.

Sara was an excellent pet and house sitter for our sheltie and indoor cat. She was quick to communicate, very responsive, flexible with her time, and an easy guest--our house looked great on our return. We'd strongly recommend her!
