Grad Student w/ lots of time & love

Pet care experience

I have a lot of house sitting experience and have grown up with animals (dogs, cats, horses etc.). I am a graduate student at Northumbria University. I also play basketball for the Newcastle Eagles so please be aware and ask for my training/game schedule as this is something I am more than willing to work around with you! I have experience house sitting in America, England and Holland which has allowed me to meet amazing people and animals all over the world. I also have experience as a veterinary technician for a rescue clinic back home in America so I have a special place in my heart for rescued animals. I have also served a foster mom for cats and dogs for about 5 years. I love getting to meet new dogs and people. I have experience with aggressive and/or shy cats and dogs. I am punctual, active and very outgoing which helps me build trust with people and their animals alike. I am always willing to go the extra mile for pet owners and their pets whatever it may be. My aim is to give you peace of mind that your family member is in the best care, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

Sarah looked after my 2 dogs in our home over the weekend. She had excellent communication and was so friendly and warm. One of my pups is very anxious and nervous but he warmed very quickly to Sarah which was brilliant! Would definitely recommend - thank you!

Sarah did a fantastic job of looking after our 3 dogs and the house for us while we were away. The house was left in a clean and tidy condition and the dogs were happy.

Sarah looked after our dog Blaze at our home for 4 nights. Sarah is very professional and kept our minds at ease with how good she was with blaze, as he can be quite sensitive to changes. We got sent photos and videos everyday and blaze was very happy and content at home with her. If we ever went away again I would not hesitate to contact Sarah as she done such a fantastic job.

Sarah was so lovely and brilliant with our dogs. I had total confidence in her and it made us relax so much more knowing we had someone like Sarah looking after them. Thank you!

Information Sarah B. would like to know about your pet

I am willing to work with any medical conditions or behavioural concerns you may have with your pet. I believe everyone should have the ability to go away and trust that their dog's specific needs can be met by someone who will care whole heartedly. Please just tell me everything so I can provide the best care.

A typical day

I love Newcastle and all of the fun places to explore that are close by so I really enjoy taking dogs on walks with me. I have a lot of experience with dogs so giving them the enrichment and stimulation they need is very important to me.
