Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Sara and I would love the opportunity to walk your dogs. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have 2 of my own. I have a doberman named Chesty (2yo) and a pit/lab mix named Ruby (9yo). Recently, I also had my late pug/corgi mix named Max (15yo). I have had experience with all types and sizes of dogs and am available to providing the best dog walking care to any pets out there. I am a passionate person about animals and have loved all my pets and the pets of friends and family deeply. Even though my family has had dogs since I was a baby, around 12 years old I have taken on more responsibility for caring for my pets. I have walked, bathed, fed, and given medicine to my dogs. I have also dog-sat for family members, neighbors, and friends. I have always treated all dogs as if they were my own, and I would be thrilled to meet and (hopefully!) treat yours as my own too!
Reviews
Sara was able to connect with my both my senior dogs and took the older one for a short walk even though she’s usually timid and standoffish. I felt at ease with her and found her very competent and caring.
Sara did a great job with providing updates. Our very aloof German Shepard took to her right away. Highly recommended.
Sara is the absolute best. We just used her services for a week. She would come and walk our dog for 1/2 an hour each day at noon. Extremely professional, timely, great personality and clearly an animal lover. She was excellent at constant communications updating my wife and I via photos each and everyday. Will definitely use again and again. Ten stars if that rating was possible.
Sara was phenomenal. We had a last minute trip pop up and had someone staying at our house. But someone that wasn’t strong enough to walk our hefty puller. She did great. Sent pictures. Gave us total peace of mind. Will definitely use her again!!!

I currently live on the Northwest side of Chicago, and have experience walking with my dogs around others walking their dogs, loud sounds, and different sights. With my doberman being young and having high energy, Chesty and I will go on daily walks for the purpose of exercise, socialization, and training. With my pit/lab mix Ruby, we will go on a lot more cognitive stimulation walks for her age and because she absolutely loves it. This usually means that we are walking at a slower pace and Ruby is sniffing every tree we pass. It also promotes brain and nose engagement, which is good for older pets. If you have any questions, please reach out! I would love to chat and ease all and any concerns. Hopefully we would be able to meet and see if I would be a good match for your pets and you! Your friendly neighborhood dog walker, Sara
Information Sara S. would like to know about your pet
A few things to let me know when leaving your dog in my care. - Does your pet have a certain temperament around other dogs or people? - Does your pet have any allergies or medical issues? - Does your pet need any medication? - Who can be contacted in a case of an emergency?
A typical day
A typical day with my dogs is going for walks in the neighborhood, smelling new smells, playing in the back yard, and photo shoots! If your pet is good off leash, then also playing fetch at the local parks. :)

Availability
My childhood dream was to become a veterinarian but life has other plans and I am currently a 1st grade teacher. This summer my schedule is pretty flexible and would be able to service you and your pups when you need! I will always have your pets best interest at heart and vow that I would treat them as my own. So you can trust that they will be taken care of to the best of my ability!
