Highlights
Pet care experience
Cannot get enough of dogs
I am a social worker for humans professionally but apply the same kind of all encompassing empathy and love for dogs. I haven't had a dog of my own yet, but I've lived with and cared for many dogs over the last several years, and I’m an auntie to many close friends’ pups. Just waiting until I can be a full-time pet mom before I get a pup of my own. I can commute to you by car or public transportation. I am happy to have your dog be in my car. I just want to go on adventures in the outdoors and explore with your pup! I will love him or her as my own. Hope to hear from you soon! While I am taking care of your pet, I will be very attentive to their needs and involve them in my day as much as possible! Will spend majority of my time with your pet. I will be on top of all of their feeding, toileting, exercising and socializing needs. They are my #1 priority!

Ratings and reviews
Sarah was absolutely wonderful with our pup Stanley. She stayed at our house with him and we would love to have her again. She gave him so much love and found ways to get him exercised even in a week of basically nonstop freezing rain. She sent the best updates and was just great to work with. 10/10 recommend!
Sarah is a fantastic sitter! Our Corgi, Winnie, had an amazing time with her. She was flexible, communicative, and so loving with him. Lots of updates and pics showing the amazing time that he had. Already excited for his next stay :)
Sarah A. took excellent care of my beloved Charles (for a second time) and I am very pleased. Her consistent care allows me to travel without worry. Very pleased and thankful!
Great communication and wonderful intuitive care for my unique-personality dog and cat!
Highly recommend Sarah A. My pupper Charles really likes her and enjoyed his adventures with Sarah while I was away. Just plain, straightforward companionship and care without drama. I'm excited to book Sarah again for several upcoming trips and will be able to relax and focus on my work knowing Charles is in great hands. Thank you Sarah!
Sarah was a fantastic sitter for our two dogs, Reilly and Tucker. She was very communicative and kept us informed of how things were going throughout the weekend.

Schedule
I recently started my own psychotherapy practice and I work Tuesday-Friday. I go into my office most days but can alter that as needed for pet sitting. On Saturdays, Sunday’s and Mondays- your fur babies will have my undivided attention!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I don’t have a fenced yard but I live near many dog parks where I could take your pup. I live in an apartment building but it’s rather small, with only 6 units total, and it’s pretty quiet with very little foot traffic. I’m happy to do whatever is necessary for caring for your pets, whether it’s in my home or yours!
A typical day
I would love to take your dog on walks to the pond and arboretum in Jamaica plain. I'd love to take your dog on hikes in the blue hills reservation or to the fells area in Medford. Happy to take pups to the park to play frisbee or ball, and to socialize with other pups if that's their thing!
