Availability
This summer I'm working full-time at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort Thursday through Sunday from 8:45am - 6pm (plus commute). On those days, I make it a priority to give dogs a full half hour of walking / sniffing / fetch playing immediately before I leave for and return from work, however I cannot commit to mid-day walks. I know that some pups need more than that and I keep my rates on the lower end for this reason.

About Sarah B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
In addition to romping around outdoors, I enjoy working with dogs on behavior and obedience. I've trained dogs on reactivity, heeling on walks, "touch," "find it," "leave it," "sit" and "down." Mealtimes are a particularly great opportunity to practice these commands. Overall, I will treat your dog like I would my own - good boundaries, and lots of fun and love.
Information Sarah B. would like to know about your pet
I'll need to know about your dog's dietary requirements, what words you use for commands, and any behavioral issues (EX: reactivity toward people or dogs, an inclination to run out the door, countersurfing or chewing tendencies) ahead of time. It's also super helpful to get an overview of where dog supplies are in the house and to have a conversation around how often you would like pupdates from me. For overnight stays, I'll ask about routines I should follow (breakfast/dinnertime, walk times/lengths, bedtime, etc.), including the maximum time your dog is able to be left alone for. I will also want to have your veterinarian's contact information and contact information for trusted neighbors/friends should any emergencies occur.
A typical day
All dog care will be tailored to your dog. We can explore a trail you recommend while out on our walks. If he/she is working on a specific command, we can spend concentrated time learning it. If he/she likes playing with a specific human or dog friend, we can arrange a visit. And of course, if he/she wants to snuggle, I will happily offer a lap to cozy up on.

Pet care experience
I love dogs, cats and the outdoors! I'm a full-time ski instructor here in Jackson, WY who is too transient to have a dog of her own. I have years of experience caring for dogs of all types, ranging from actual sled dogs, to young puppies, to elderly dogs in need of extra help getting around, to a bichon frise with loads of attitude. Rover gets me my fix of kisses, wiggles, attitude, obedience training, and sleepy snuggles - it's a win for everyone! I love bringing pups on hikes and errands around town, using mealtimes as training opportunities, and settling in for Netflix and cuddles at night. I've also learned the language of cats - the slow blink, the curious tail swish. I'll love your kitty whether they need some distance or a lap to sit on. I look forward to meeting your furry fam!
Reviews
Sarah was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative, reliable, and clearly a true dog lover. The pictures and videos she sent during her visits gave us so much peace of mind and reassured us that our dog was in great hands. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter or walker!
Sarah is so good to our dogs! We felt very comfortable during our vacation knowing Sarah was taking care of our home and loving our dogs. Having an older dog with health issues made it difficult for us to leave. Sarah made sure she was happy. Our younger dog fell in love with Sarah right away. I highly recommend Sarah as a dog and house sitter!
Sarah was responsive and great with our dog Noodles. I would highly recommend her!
Sarah is a repeat dog sitter for us. She is so great with our two dogs who have very different personalities. She’s very responsive when I reach out and gives us updates daily with pictures. Sarah always makes sure the dogs are well taken care of and keeps the house clean and tidy for when we come home. We are so grateful for Sarah!
