Pet care experience

While I may be the new neighbor on the Rover block, my passion and love for animals run deep and wide, much like the endless fields where I dream of playing fetch with your dog and mine. I see my dog not just as a pet, but as my daughter, a vital member of my family who teaches me about loyalty, joy, and unconditional love every single day. This perspective shapes every interaction I have with animals—they're not just animals to me; they're someone's friend, child, and confidante. My journey into pet care is fueled by a genuine desire to extend the warmth, care, and understanding I have for my own four-legged family member to yours. Although I might not boast years of professional experience, I bring a fresh, enthusiastic perspective, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to provide the highest level of care. Specializing in creating a nurturing and safe environment, I'm keen on adapting to the unique personalities and needs of each pet. Whether it's engaging in playful activities that stimulate their minds, providing gentle care for the senior members who prefer a slower pace, or offering patience and guidance to the spirited puppies still learning about the world, my approach is always tailored and thoughtful. In stepping into the world of pet care, I see an opportunity to not only offer my services but to create meaningful, lasting bonds. Each pet has a story, a quirk, and a special place in someone's heart, and I'm here to honor that.

I’ve known Sarah four years and she’s what I would call “one of the good ones in the world.” She’s an exceptional friend, daughter, mother and human being who is honest, enthusiastic about life and especially passionate and loving with her dog, Rooney, and every other living creature. As an example, a Monarch flew into her home late last fall and instead of trying to shoo it back out into the cold, she went online and discovered it was a male and promptly named him George Louis. Then she researched what and how to feed George Louis and he happily lived with her for two months until the end of his lifespan. Only Sarah would put the time and care into nurturing this beautiful butterfly. She’s like Dr. Doolittle. In fact, the only one who is perhaps more fanatical about animals is me with my dog, Annie. And Sarah is the only one I leave Annie with knowing she’s in the best of hands. If you love your dog, Sarah is the sitter for you. Highly recommend without reservation.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your dog in your home, my focus is on maintaining their comfort, routine, and happiness. I start with a brief walkthrough to familiarize myself with your dog’s space and any specific care instructions you have. Feeding will be done precisely according to your schedule and dietary instructions, ensuring your dog maintains their regular eating habits. Exercise is key, so I’ll take your dog on walks in familiar neighborhoods or parks they love, keeping them physically active and mentally stimulated. Playtime isn't just fun; it’s also an important part of their day, so I’ll engage them with their favorite toys and games. Comfort and companionship are paramount. I’ll be there to offer pets, cuddles, or simply sit with them, making sure they feel loved and secure in your absence. If your dog requires any medication, I’ll administer it with care and attention to detail. Throughout the day, I’ll ensure their living space remains clean and tidy, with fresh water always available. I believe in leaving spaces better than I found them, so you’ll return to a happy pet and a home just as you left it. In short, my care philosophy in your home is respect, routine, and lots of love, ensuring your dog feels safe and cherished until you return.

Currently, my schedule opens wide from Monday to Thursday, with school occupying a slice of my time from 11 AM to 3 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This unique schedule positions me perfectly as your go-to weekday pet care provider, offering your furry family members companionship, care, and fun while you manage your own busy days. In just 5 weeks, as the summer sun starts to shine brighter, my calendar will transition into full-time pet care availability. The upcoming summer vacation not only marks a pause in my academic pursuits but also widens the window of opportunity to dedicate even more time to what I love most—caring for pets. This shift will allow for more flexibility, extended pet sitting, daytime walks, engaging play sessions, and even overnight care if needed.
