Highlights
Pet care experience
Happy to help!
I'm 30 and live in Aspendell, CA with my partner. I grew up always having many dogs at a time and was primarily responsible for their care at home throughout my adolescence. I've always been passionate about animals and lived in a household with pets my entire life up until last year. I've worked as a caregiver for patients with special needs, autism, and parkinsonian symptoms. While working with these individuals I took over household responsibilities, including walking, feeding, and caring for pets. Naturally, I am very patient and attentive with animals. I moved to Bishop 3 years ago and my husband and I have opened our home to our friend's pets on many occasions. We have a wonderful, pet friendly home and we both love animals. We do not have a fenced in yard but plenty of space to walk. Winters are hard but Aspendell is much cooler for pets than Bishop proper in the Summer. I have a BA in Psychology and have taken a class in behavioral modification, where I learned an in depth approach to classical conditioning, which of course began with dogs. I'm not a dog trainer, but I am aware of how to increase positive behaviors and how to decrease negative behaviors.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Sarah was so incredible with our anxious dog, she was so patient with him and sent us updates on how he was doing. We were so fortunate to have her care for him, she is an amazing dog sitter
I felt very confident and comfortable leaving my 2 dogs Blue and BZ with Sara. (I could not get the website to up date with my new dogs but I did enter their profiles.) I did confirm with her that my new dogs were much younger and had no medical issues. Blue and BZ were happy and very much themselves when I picked them up. It is wonderful to find such a reliable pet sitting in our community. I would heartily recommend her. Especially in regards to smaller dogs which is what my 2 are.
Sarah did a great job with our dog Charlie. She watched our dog for two days while we went out hiking and rock climbing. She communicated very well with us and was very attentive with Charlie. We will definitely book with her again next time we are in Bishop!
Our dog Benji came back to us happy and clean. He is white Bijon and was in loving home.
Sarah is amazing! She is super nice and very responsive! Was very attentive with requests I had! Hudson had so much fun with Sarah!
Sarah took excellent care of our pup 2 days in a row. Laksa came home tired out & happy each day. The backyard with its small stream is perfect for doggos. We will definitely use Sarah again.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I am currently a dance coach at the HS and felt this job would be flexible enough to fit around my schedule. Come August I'll have rehearsals twice a week, 2 hours at a time and will be away during game nights for performances. I like to climb, hike, and travel for dance. I'm home most of the time in-between and my partner works remote, which provides the perfect opportunity to accept pets into our home.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Dogs are free to be themselves when they are here! We have plenty of couches available to sit on and open space to wander safely and freely. We have a paved road in our neighborhood perfect for walks! Aspendell is beautiful in the summer and will feel like a mini vacation for your pup! We keep a dog toy at the front door for any visitors. Our home does have stairs so keep this in mind for pets that strugfle moving around or at high risk for back problems. We don't own pets, so they'll get all the attention when they visit!
A typical day
We have a lovely neighborhood to take dogs on frequent walks. All the dogs in our neighborhood are typically leashed and it's very safe. I love going out to the boulders and more active dogs are always welcome to come exploring. We have plenty of pet friendly discs to throw and a few dog toys, to ensure they can stay stimulated. I'm more than willing to drive out to your dog's favorite walking spots, so they can feel the most comfortable in my care.

- Let me know your dog's temperament, how they interact with other animals, activity level, favorite toys, triggers, diet, allergies, and any special needs I should be aware of. I'm open to learning whatever needs your animals have, so that they can make themselves at home here.
