Safety, trust & environment

I have an array of pets in my own home so I am only able to care for your pet/s in your home. I find that it is safest for not only my animals but also yours. I’m a very clean person so your home will never be less than how you left it. Having so many animals of my own pushes me to be even cleaner. Although we love our pets dearly, they can get stinky and their things along with them! If your dog is comfortable with grooming, I have no issues bathing them, brushing them, drying them, and cleaning their ears. If there is anything I haven’t mentioned, please feel free to ask and we can try to work something out.

Information Sara T. would like to know about your pet

Every dog is different from the next and I want to be able to set your dog up for success. Are there commands I should use for them? What are their boundaries? Do they have reactivity to humans? Do they have reactivity to children? Do they have reactivity to dogs? Do you prefer that other people don’t pet your dog? Do you prefer that children don’t pet your dog? Do you prefer that other dogs don’t interact with your dog? Etc.

A typical day

Let me know what activities your pup loves most! Whether it be walking, mental stimulation toys, fetch, tug of war, swimming, Starbucks pup cups, etc. I love the water so if you have a pool or beach nearby I’m happy to swim along with them!

I’d love to care for your fur baby!

Pet care experience

I’ve loved animals since I was a little girl. I got my first dog when I was 13 years old and she was 2 months old. She’s a yellow lab whose name is Luna and she is currently 11 years old! I trained her myself and when she turned 1 year old and I was 14 years old we became a therapy dog team. We went to schools, nursing homes, and did personal home visits. I got my first dog as an adult on my own when I was 20 years old and she was 2 1/2 months old. She’s a Doberman Pinscher whose name is Katana and she is currently 4 years old! I have volunteered nearly 1,000 hours to The Humane Society of Tampa Bay. Volunteering on sight at the shelter, at events, and I am also a kitten foster mom for them. I did a 3 week internship with a working dog breed trainer and loved it. Although I love all types of dogs, I have an extra soft spot for large working breed dogs. There is no type of breed that I have an issue being around. Whether your dog weighs single digits or all the way up to triple digits, I care for them all the same.

Sara was amazing. I have never left my cat alone with a sitter so I was extremely nervous. Once I met Sara I immediately knew my baby was in good hands. Sara spent lots of time with her and I had lots of trust that not only my cat but my apartment is in good hands. I would definitely recommend Sara and will be contacting her the next time I need a sitter.

Sara was an excellent dog and house sitter! She was very communicative, took great care of our dog and left the house nice and tidy. We would definitely recommend her and will hire her again!
