Passionate Professional Pet Care
Pet care experience
My name is Sarah, I am a certified dog trainer, receiving my CDT through CATCH, after completing a masters course—I now work full time as a private dog walker, sitter, care provider & trainer. I spent 6 years working with non-profit animal rescues as an animal rehabiliator and have now dedicated my time to offering a unique variety of services to accomidate every pet and their needs. My services include, but are not limited to, daily, weekly, or as needed dog walking and check-in visits for dogs, cats, & other animals, including exotics and farm animals, over night house sitting, and training. I am highly experienced spending six years working in animal rehabilitation and training. I have created a training guide for shelter animals describing common dog behaviors and how to work with dogs demonstrating such behavior and am also trained as vet tech, in addition to completing some dog behavior work shops. My experience allows for walks of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and medical condition. I dedicate my free time to create the best enrichment walks I can, ensuring maximum comfort and happiness for your dog. Due to the nature of my job I rarely travel so I will almost always be available for your pet. I have put together a personalized walking program, you can call as needed, schedule only a few walks a week, or use daily. My services provides Solo walks: ideal for dog reactive or selective walks, Training walks: ideal for puppies or dogs that are pullers, leash reactive, etc., "Pack" walks: great for dogs that love to be around other dogs or for socializing new dogs and puppies, Park walks ("pack" and solo): rather than walking around the neighborhood have your dog enjoy a run around in one of your local parks, and the your average basic walk, you can mix and match the different offered walks throughout the week to keep your dogs schedule new and fun or you can pick just one for a consistent walk. I also offer daily check-in visits, great for small animals and cats, as well as overnight pet sitting in the clients home. In addition, I offer concierge services to drive your pet to and from the vet, the groomer, boarding, daycare, you name it. After each visit, you receive a photo of your pets. I accept all species, breeds, and behaviors, in addition to all last minute requests. However, before I begin caring for your pet I require a complimentary meet and greet with you and your pets. I have multiple references available upon request.

Information Sarah Anne S. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know who your vet is, a list of medical issues past or present and if your pet has allergies to anything. I'd also love to know if you animal gets along well with other animals and anything I should be mindful of when out on a walk or in the house.
A typical day
Dogs in my care will join a day filled with enrichment, from activities as simple to puzzle toys and peanut butter kongs to long hikes, swims, and of course endless cuddles!
