Pet care experience

Here to befriend everyone’s pets 🥰

My journey into pet care started with volunteering & fostering through the shelter. I really enjoyed helping the senior dogs & anxious dogs who needed help coming out of their shells so it felt right to try pet care, which I have now been working for the last couple years. This has been the best job I have ever had and I deeply love what I do. On top of the experience I have with working on Rover & with the shelter, I also have my own personal pets. There is our cat Kai who was found in a car motor as a kitten, our bunny Boo Boo who lives his absolute best life after being found on FB marketplace, my mixed herding breed dog Blue who was adopted from the Lincolnton shelter and his sidekick Ember, who was adopted from the Gaston County shelter. We recently adopted a lab named Ruby & she has quickly stolen our hearts. I grew up in an animal loving household and have always been around a variety of pets including dogs, cats, birds and guinea pigs. I have experience with handraising kittens, chickens and ducks. My favorite rescue/foster was a senior Treeing Walker Coonhound named Mountain Man that I saved from a terrible condition. He lived the rest of his life with us happy & loved but passed away at the end of 2024. I keep him on my profile just so people can still see his cute face.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have great communication skills & will update you with plenty of pictures and details while with your pet. My dogs are 60lbs & 80lbs so I am able to handle large breed dogs. It offers peace of mind if their ID tag and microchip is current. On certain Mondays & Fridays, I will be offering dog outings to our favorite places like Crowders Mountain, Rankin Lake, Dallas Park or the Lincolnton Rail Trail. At my home, I have a gate on my front and back deck for the dogs as well as a fenced in backyard. We have a large crate & small crate and ability to keep animals separate if need be. Compatibility with my animals will determine how much free range your pets have in the house and yard, but we allow pets on the furniture and in the bed and treat them like family while here!

Schedule

Typically I book jobs Monday-Friday or vacations/weekends in advance. We are a moto family which means that we travel/camp a lot of weekends during the year which makes my availability not work for some. I always keep my calendar updated so scheduling is accurate. I have a few families that I repeatedly work with but always happy to welcome more 😁

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Sara can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Before going in public, I like to know a dog's typical comfort level with other people, specifically children and dogs. I have experience with reactive dogs. I would love to schedule a meet & greet before our first service so we all can get comfortable together. I want you to feel relaxed and trust your furbaby is in good hands!
