Safety, trust & environment

Your pets will be treated just as if they’re my own! They’ll follow their normal routine that you have in place so things won’t be too out of place while you’re gone!

Information Sarah A. would like to know about your pet

Just like people, every animal has a unique personality. Tell me about your animals personality, what they like to do, favorite toys, and any concerns such as special routines they do or need.

A typical day

Walks will be around your neighborhood so your dog is most comfortable in a familiar setting. If permitted by you, I'll take your dog to our local dog parks so they can socialized and have fun with some playmates. If you're not comfortable with this, no worries! Fetch, tug-of-war, and many other games will be played with your dog as well at home!

Animal lover big and small

Pet care experience

I am a passionate animal lover of all shapes and sizes! Whether you have a little tea cup Yorkie or giant Great Dane, your dog will be loved as one of my own and given the best care under my supervision. Your dogs - or cats - will be visited at least 2x daily where they will be walked, played with, and given the attention they so deserve! While you're away, you will get updates every time I visit so you can rest assured your furry family members are having a blast! If you'd like me to house sit as well while watching your animals, a nice bath can be given if you request it. I can't wait to meet you and your sweet baby!

Did a fantastic job watching our two babies- one of which is old with several medical issues. We would recommend her for anyone!

Sarah was kind, courteous, incredibly knowledgable about dogs… I don't know what more we could have asked for.

Sarah was very attentive and returned my texts almost immediately each time I asked about my cat and dog. Seems like a two girls were very, very happy with her as well!
