Safety, trust & environment

I always start out with loving up on them a bit then I follow that up with a potty break. My time with your pet will consist of a walk (based on the dog’s exercise needs) and/or playtime outside if you have a fenced in yard. Depending on your preferences and your dogs' temperament, we can find a way to get some playtime in/socialization with my dog, Izzie. She is a pro at adjusting her play/interaction style based on any other dog/dogs that she's around. If your dog isn't interested in her, she'll leave them alone. If they're super playful, she'll play all day. She's always up to date on shots and has never displayed aggression toward any other dog. Feeding is unique for every pet so that will vary based on your dogs unique feeding schedule. I am also a pro at giving medications.

Information Sarah A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should take into account. Does your dog get along with other dogs? Are there any common situations or noises that make your dog nervous? Does your dog have any medications or special diet needs?

A typical day

Physical and mental stimulation is key for my dog, so usually that's my goal with the dogs I sit unless you have something else in mind! I'm very flexible and open to any requests you have for your pet.

Pet care experience

I’ve always been a huge animal lover. I grew up having two very spoiled dogs and a handful of kitties. I learned a lot from my parents who are also huge animal lovers on how to be a great pet parent. I have an aussiedoodle, Izzie. She is the light of my life. I feel really proud of how well I take care of her from feeding her the best food, providing her with plenty of opportunities to run and socialize with people and other dogs, and loving up on her any chance I get. I’m very in tune to pet needs from making sure they stay hydrated, are being taken out for potty breaks regularly, and also being able to notice if something is not quite right with their health.

Sarah, I couldn't have been more pleased and relax about leaving my 2 dogs who are spoiled Covid pups and have me wrapped around their paws. The first time we met you they took to you right away and I too felt at ease as you portray that trusting quality. I will have you again and hope you will be available. I think Darla came out to garage looking for you when I came home today from store. Stella laid across my lap last night to keep me from going anywhere!! lol Thank you again!

Sarah is fantastic! She was very responsive when I reached out, she came to meet my pups and understood our “quirks,” which is so important to us. One of our dogs is a rescue and needs a slow introduction. Thank you for your help, Sarah!

Sarah did a great job watching my dogs for the weekend. She arrived when she said she would and provided lots of updates and pictures. She really loves dogs and was great with them, even my barky dog who takes a few minutes to warm up to strangers.
