Providing Genuine Pet Care!

Pet care experience

Besides experience with family and friends' pets (cats and dogs), I am currently majoring in Canine Training and Management at university to learn about all dog needs! We learn about basic canine care such as grooming, training, and body language. In addition, I’ve volunteered for 2 different animal shelters, one of which I still volunteer for currently. I love all dog breeds and sizes, but I will not take on things I cannot handle such as dogs with aggressive behaviors/temperaments (resource guarding, aggressiveness to other animals/people, etc.).

Sara was the perfect choice for Dory while we were visiting town. She was focused on ensuring she understood Dory’s needs before and during her stay. Dory came home happy and tired… and Sara provided us with great reports during her stay and at pickup. We highly recommend!

Don’t hesitate to book with Sara! She took the most amazing care of our cat Jiji. She was extremely considerate to make sure it was a good match from the start, asked a lot of questions to make sure everything was set and was super flexible when it came to last minute time changes. Jiji came back super happy, i could tell she was well taken care of while we were away. Will be rebooking Sara for our pet sitting needs in the future.

Information Sara S. would like to know about your pet

Be prepared to provide a lot of information about your dog! This is all for safety during your dog's stay and to let me know if I would be a good fit, as I will not take dogs that I cannot handle. Things to let me know are: Breed/size of your dog Medical conditions (along with medication and directions on how to administer and how often) Veterinary contact (if local) Emergency contact (if I cannot get a hold of the owner) Behavioral issues along with normal behavior/personality traits as a baseline: How energetic is your dog? Do any situations make them stressed? How affectionate are they? Training: How trained are they? Do they know basic commands (sit, down, stay)? How do you discipline your dog? How are their leash manners on a walk? Crate trained? How well socialized is your dog around people, other animals (including wildlife), and children? House Rules: What does a typical day look like for you and your dog (meal/walk times, exercise, sleep time)? Are they allowed on the furniture? Do they need to be crated at night/when left alone?

A typical day

Clients are highly suggested to provide familiar daily activities that their dogs enjoy, but generic fun things we will do include, but are not limited to walks, local park visits, and enrichment such as snuffle mats or lick mats for mental stimulation!
