Pet care experience
I grew up with multiple dogs, large and small, and they've always been my very best friends. I have frequently provided dog and cat sitting services for friends, coworkers, neighbors, and strangers over my entire adult life. I work in professional theatre and therefore have fluctuating or unreliable hours which are not necessarily the best environment for raising my own pooch. Proving a sitting or walking service allows me to help out my community while also logging some quality doggy time! A few summers ago I volunteered at a local dog shelter in a rural Michigan town. Our volunteer team of just 3 or 4 people were responsible for socializing, exercising, and cuddling up to twenty four dogs, mostly large breeds with rough backstories. I think it's incredibly important to take care of our canine friends, and I would love nothing more than to create a special bond with you and your wonderful dog! Thank you so much for considering me as your pet sitter.
Reviews
Sara was an incredible communicator who sent the best photos. When I got home, my dogs were very happy to see me, but not stressed. It’s clear that they were well taken care of and adored. I hope we have an opportunity to work together again!
Sara took excellent care of our two dogs while we were away! The daily report cards were informative on their habits and behavior, but also sprinkled with humor and true affection for the dogs. I know they felt comfortable with her, which made our time away a little bit easier. She followed our care instructions, asked and answered questions, and was easy to reach if I needed her. I will definitely use her again in the future because I know she cares for Jimmy and Molly like her own. Highly Recommend!!
Sara takes good care of my pups and keeps me regularly updated which I appreciate!
We’ve had Sara a few times so far to visit our dogs and she has been great! Very thorough recaps and pictures so we know how the visit once. I know our dogs are in good hands & would recommend her!

Information Sara V. would like to know about your pet
Right away, I love to know your dogs comfort level with new people, new dogs, and car trips. If they have any fears or things that trigger a nervous or aggressive reaction, I need to know, too. How many and what kind of treats does your dog prefer? Where is their favorite spot to receive pets? Which are their favorite toys (if any)? I want to maintain a familiar and comfortable rapport with your animal, so the more things I know about how you communicate with your dog, the better our relationship might be! I have no breed preferences, I think they're all beautiful and goofy in their own ways.
