I currently work during the day! So I am unable to be around all day with your pets. But I do have a 1 hour lunch break that I can take whenever I want each day, so I would be definitely be able to drop in during the middle of the day. As for pet sitting, please keep in mind that I have a baby and have recently returned to work from maternity leave so it is possible I may ask if I am able to bring my baby with me. You have every right to say no, but please be aware :)

Safety, trust & environment

You pets will be in safe hands with me. I am certified in pet CPR and first aid. And am also a certified dog trainer. I have an understanding of animal body language and am able to determine how your pet is feeling and what they may need from me. All techniques I use for working with animals are force free. So I don’t use harsh punishments or corrections. I simply reward good behaviour and allow them the opportunity to present better behaviours for the reward that they are looking for. Whether that be them simply wanting to be pet, or your dog wanting to go and sniff a tree.

Information Sarah B. would like to know about your pet

What sort of energy level your dog has. If they have any allergies, and what they are. Are they good around other dogs. Any medical issues that you feel I should be aware. How are they around young kids/babies? (As I sometimes will have my kid(s) join for walks) Have they shown themselves to be reactive to anything, whether that be they get growly with small dogs or they don’t like purple? The more information you can give me about your pup the better I can perform my job.

A typical day

Will take your dog(s) to the dog park so they can run around and play to their hearts content! Any parks that I go to are completely fenced in so even if your pups recall is questionable they will be ‘A’ okay! And if your pup isn’t comfortable with a dog park, no worries! We will still enjoy walks together! Will play fun games that your dog is sure to love. Including games such as: Hide and Seek or hide and treat, fetch, and even bubble chase (if there access to outdoor area). If desired I can also help with or introduce training for simple obedience (sit, down, drop it, etc.) and manners (impulse control, all paws on floor for attention, etc.) or even teach some fun tricks!

For the love of dogs! (Dog trainer)

Pet care experience

I am here for the love of our four legged family members and to help you out when life becomes a little too busy. Your four legged friends will be in good hands with me, as I am certified in pet CPR and First Aid. I have graduated from Animal Behaviour College for Dog training and am a certified dog trainer! All of my techniques for dealing with dogs, regardless as to what I am doing, is force free. I do not enforce punishments or corrections. I will correct a problem behaviour by showing and allowing the dog to offer me a more preferred one before I give them what they are wanting. For example if a dog wants attention and jumps up, I would simply turn my back to them, and not speak to them (unless they know a command already for getting down of course) until they stop doing it and have all 4 paws in the floor. Then I would calmly pet and reward them for offering me a more polite behaviour. When it comes to walking your dog(s), I will most often be going to a dog park. All parks that I go to are completely fenced, making it easier on everyone for even the dogs with questionable recall. When checking in on your pets at home, I will play fun games with them, such as hide and treat, and fetch. I can even help with simple obedience and manners, or some fun little tricks that you may be working on.

Sarah was wonderful with our reactive dog. She helped me to see how best to have our dog meet new people, through demonstrating. I felt very comfortable with leaving our dog in her care. I would definitely use her again!

I have left my dog with Sarah a few times already and I couldn't be happier with the care my dog receives from her. She ensured my girl got all the attention, walks and lots of playing time over the weekend. She sent me updates and pictures, which always give me a peace of mind. Thank you Sarah for taking such a good care of Leeloo, as always.
