Doggy Kitty & Me = Love & Harmony

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Sara and I have a lot of experience with dogs, cats and birds. When I lived in Michigan I worked as a volunteer at the Human Society. At this location, I walked dogs continuously, picked up messes outside and inside, learned proper walking techniques, and worked with all breeds of dogs and cats. I was also a kennel tech in North Carolina, and gave dogs baths, cleaned inside and outside of cages and lawns, administered prescription drugs as needed and provided a lot of love to dogs and cats. When you check your dog into a boarding facility as a past kennel tech, I can say from experience that having someone come to your house and to watch your dog or cat they get more play time then paying for extra play time at a boarding facility since there are so many dogs to rotate through. Dogs and cats are happiest when their at their own home and anxiety can be brought about when you board dogs, not to mention extra costly shots, like Bordetella (Which is needed when you put your dog or cat into a kennel with other dogs and cats) When I watch your dog, whether that's for play time, walking, or staying for extended periods of time with your fur-babies over night, I can promise you they will get more play time than you ever would at a boarding facility for half the cost. Whether you are going out of town, need a dog walker or cat sitter, or just lot's of play or cuddling for your fur-babies, I'm the girl for the job! If you book me for longer over night stays, I will clean cat litter boxes and dog messes, make sure to take your mail inside, and do any cleaning service while I am at your house related to your fur- babies and leave your house the way I found it. I have 3 dogs of my own and used to have cats as well, so I am very experienced in every type of dog and cat breed. I currently work as a independent contractor so I am very flexible with any hours and times needed.

Sara did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and cats! Our pets are very particular and prone to going off food while we are away, and it looks like everyone is fatter than ever! We will use her again when we go out of town- it's nice to know we have someone we can depend on. Also, the condo was very clean when we returned and she washed the sheets for us, which was nice to come home to. Thanks again!

Sara is a great dog sitter! Sara is an excellent communicator. We never board our dogs and wanted someone to stay at our house and spend time with them. Sara was with the pups the majority of the time. We received a ton of pictures and knew our dogs were taken well care of. She would check with us if she had any questions which we appreciated it. She stayed until we returned and even vacuumed and laundered the sheets. We will definitely use Sara again.

Sara did a great job - above and beyond what we expected of her - watching our dogs in our home for 3 nights. She sent dozens of photos of our dogs during our time away and gave us regular updates without being prompted. She even washed her bedding before she left. You can barely tell she was here, she left our home in better shape than when she got there. Would definitely use Sara again without hesitation and would recommend her to anyone.

Information Sara V. would like to know about your pet

Is the dog potty trained or not. If not, that is not a big deal as long as I know ahead of time. I don't have any breed preferences, but would like to know if the dog is aggressive or not, so I know how to handle them accordingly.

A typical day

We'll play in the park or go on long doggy walks, playing with toys is always fun inside or outside.
