Pet care experience

Hi my name is Sara! Please read my whole profile as many frequently asked questions can be answered HERE! I'm a veterinarian assistant aspiring prevet full time college student pursuing veterinary medicine,I want to be a veterinary in the future as my career ! I’m experienced in house/pet sitting as well in all shapes, species and sizes dogs,cats,guinea pigs,horses you name it etc. I’m just looking to give some care and love to your pets. I love taking care of animals as well as walking them any where if needed. My schedule is very flexible as so am I very flexible with my costumers and what they need of me. I'm just here to meet any necessary needs from my clients. I am extremely responsible, I understand the importance of having someone you can trust to love your pets as their own while you are away. I get it I have pets of my own so I understand how it feels to leave your pets in the hands of anther stranger but with me they are in good hands! I will make your dog feel safe, loved and happy. I'll treat them like my own! I guarantee to not leave you down not a bit! I always like to do meet and greets in advance for first time guests before any booking is approved. Please allow enough time for the meet and greet to be scheduled before your booking. Just in case I and your furry pals don’t get along, you’ll have enough time before your booking to find another sitter. I generally don’t take last minute bookings because I like to do meet and greets, but due to the circumstances given sometimes I will accept bookings! Please give me a call/message if you think I'd be a good fit. I'm always willing to work something out with my clients when it comes to $$$ especially . I can't wait to meet you and your furry pals ! ( Meet and greets before are important!) I also pet sit animals other than dogs as my schedule allows - Cats, Birds, Reptiles, rabbits, pocket pets, & other exotics. If your pet will be fine staying at your home/my home and you would like my services to feed, play, hang out with them while you are away, etc please contact me. I will be more than happy to come over for a Meet-N-Greet! Please feel free to CHECK out my INSTAGRAM PAGE at @saraanddoggos ,there you can find previous clients I have had. I look forwarding to working with you! You can also find out more on my link https://linktr.ee/saraanddoggos/

Sara was a lifesaver during one of the most challenging times of my cat's life. He had recently gotten surgery and needed to be given medicine twice daily, which turned him from the sweetest cat to an incredibly spicy one. Despite this, Sara managed to win the battle and get the job done each and every time. Her communication skills are top notch, and she sent pictures too! Plus, she's a vet tech, which helped ease my worries. Highly recommend her for expert care of your pets, even if they're a little spicy!

Sara is my preferred dog sitter. I've used her many times, and she takes great care of my buddy.

I’m so glad I was recommended Sara. She updated me about both pups everyday and it assured me that they were doing well. Would definitely be booking again when needed.

We are so thankful for Sara. She was very knowledgeable about animals which made us feel comfortable with leaving our dog with her. She sent us pictures and updates about their time together. We really appreciate her. The love she has for animals shows from the moment you meet her. I highly would recommend Sara to care for any animal.

I have a cozy 2 bedroom home with a fully enclosed backyard. Your furry friends will get the run of the house and be treated like a family member. They will be free to come and go, in and out of the backyard (whether there used to the inside or outside ), as they please and be showered with love and affection. Sleeping will be the same: on their bed or mine. I love to snuggle! I have a dog of my own who I keep in the backyard kenneled when I'm boarding clients and she WILL NOT INTERACT with your pets AT ALL as she is very dog reactive and I'd like to save both parties from a situation. If your pet needs to be crated that can be arranged although I keep the animals I'm boarding and taking care inside for the most part free roam and do as they please. If crates cant be provided I have my own (Varies etc.)

Information Sara Z. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting your dog I would love to know what makes them comfortable, so that I can keep them happy during the stay. That is why I think its super important for you as the owner to tell me everything in regards with your, pet do they have allergies to anything?, are they up to date on their vaccines? or they get along with other dogs or kids. What are the house rules? How do they behave when they walk? Please make sure your pets' vaccines are current. I have a number of dogs that come and go through here, so we don't want anyone getting sick including my own! I also sometimes have many regular clients that frequently stay, so your dog NEEDS to be good around other dogs, especially small or older dogs or dogs of their own size. Along these lines, I prefer pets that will not be destructive when left alone. If they have to be left alone at some point. If you know that if your pet has a history of separation anxiety or destructive behavior when left alone, please know that however awesome your pet is normally, if they cannot be trusted by themselves for a few hours, this may be a factor for me not being able to take them. All these things we may be able to work with, I just need you to be honest about their personalities and their habits. Thanks!

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. I want to keep your dogs routine, so we will stick to their usual walking, feeding and potty schedule. I'll walk them and play with them. When at home we will play, relax and spend time together.

I love working with animals and have worked in various animal shelters as a volunteer and have worked in clinical settings as well as a vet assistant! So I have quite the experience you would say with animals and such.
