Pet care experience

Outdoorsy and loving sitter!

I offer pet walking and house sitting services. If you have an active dog, I will take them on adventures! I have taken care of dogs, cats, cockatiels, bearded dragons, rabbits, and fish. I have either boarded all of these animals or gone to their home to care for them. I've taken care of many breeds of dogs including 100+ breeds and pit bulls. I've taken care of both puppies and senior dogs. I also understand that you may have specific training instructions and I will make sure to adhere to these when walking and sitting. I cared for a family dog for 4 years during my mid-twenties. I put a lot of care into making sure every animal feels safe and loved while in my care.

Safety, trust & environment

I am open to house sitting and can bring your dog to nearby trails or nearby dog parks as needed. Depending on if you have a yard, I can spend time playing with them outside either within a fenced area or on leash. Your animal will receive loving attention and plenty of pets if they are into that. I can also do animal massage which is great for stressed pets, or simply those who exercise a lot and have tense muscles.

She was on time and updated me daily. She also took very good care of my home and brought all my packages inside for me. I would highly recommend her and plan to rebook with her again soon.

Sara was fantastic. She house sat and looked after our two cats for a week while we were away and we could not have been happier with the service she provided. She kept us updated every day with how things were going and left the house tidy as if nobody was ever there. We could not recommend her more.

Sara was amazing! She sent me photos every day. She has the sweetest dog named Pumpkin who became fast friends with my dog. I highly recommend her!

Sara was amazing! Our dog, Daisy, had such a good time with her! She took her for walks and gave her lots of love. The cats even started to warm up to her and ask for pets and loves. She took great care of our home; it was clean and neat when we returned, and all the towels and linens had been washed and the bed remade. I would definitely have Sara watch our pets and home again.

Osa had a great time with Sarah and she got a lot of activity. Also, great photos of Osa were shared throughout my vacation.

Attentive care for my dog including trail outings, play at the dog park, and daily updates. Excellent communication around pickup/drop-off and during her stay. Your pet will be in great hands with her!

I would like to know if they have any behavioral issues that I should watch out for while walking them. I would like to know if they are okay with other dogs so I know if I should avoid dog parks or stay clear of other dogs on walks. If you are working on any specific training I'd be happy to incorporate that into our walks.
