Pet care experience
I have had experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, and I'm ready to give some of that same love and care to your pets. Here is a recap of the services I am offering: • DOG-WALKING AND TRAINING: I have been walking and training my own dogs since I got my first puppy (Beagle) when I was 7 years old. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and ages professionally for two years. • DOG CHECK-INS: I can book check-ins multiple times a day (morning, lunchtime, afternoon, evening) to let dogs out for potty breaks, refresh their training, have some play time and love, and feed them. • SMALL ANIMAL CARE: I have a bearded dragon of my own and have spent a year and a half working in a local pet store learning how to take care of animals besides dogs and cats - including small animals (guinea pigs, ferrets, and hamsters), reptiles, and aquatic life. Some of the breeds I've worked with: • Two grown Weimaraners (an older mama and her 2-year-old pup) for about 3 weeks • Two senior Chihuahuas for 2 weeks • A young husky mix, a senior lab mix, and a young pit bull mix for 1 week (I helped with two cats and two ferrets for the same family) on multiple occasions • A husky mix and boxer mix of my own! Contact me today!
Reviews
Sarah took good care of our pup but did miss one of the times to let her out which is unfortunate.
Sara was great with the dogs and neither seems to have suffered from any anxiety issues! Thank you Sara!
Sara is wonderful with my dogs! They love seeing her! She loves them and is very good with them! Sara is responsible and loves taking them on walks!

A balance of mental and physical exercise is important for any pet! As a trainer and owner of high energy breeds, I understand how that balance differs based on the individual and breed. I would love to know what games your dog likes to play, what training they are working on, and how much physical exercise they need so I can do my best to keep them on their daily routine!
Information Sara S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the basics about your dog(s) before caring for them: - Breed(s) - Age - Their favorite things to do or favorite toys - Any training you'd like us to work on - How to comfort them if they miss you - Your favorite quirks about your dog - Any other needs they may have
A typical day
I love taking dogs on walks and runs around the neighborhood and parks - Brookside is one of my favorites! I like to train dogs, so let me know your training goals and I'd be happy to help you work towards them while your dog is in my care.
