Paws for Life

Pet care experience

My passion in life has always been training and caring for animals. I have 17+ years of working for a guide dog organization, where I trained, evaluated, exercised, and cared for puppies and adult dogs, and taught families basic obedience and proper leash-handling skills. My specialty is relationship-centered training which creates happy, healthy relationships and is effective, humane, and FUN! I am highly experienced in all areas of animal husbandry, including nail cutting, ear cleaning, administering oral medications, bathing, grooming, etc. I treat all animals as my family and I look forward to meeting and caring for your special fur babies.

I’ve worked with Sarah for over a decade. She is very knowledgeable about dogs. She has a close eye on details & very reliable. She has trained and helped countless dogs (as well as their owners). Sarah love all animals all shapes and sizes. I would trust her with my fur babies anytime.

We met Sarah when we applied to Guiding Eyes for the Blind’s foster program. It was her job to pair us with a dog and train us (she had already trained the dog). Right from the beginning we hit it off with her and a relationship was formed based on friendship, love and trust. Linda is now going on 9, retired and adopted by us and in all that time the only person we leave her with is Sarah. Why because when we go away Linda loves to be with her and we have peace of mind knowing that our girl is in good hands. Because of her work at Guiding Eyes she has acquired a unique set of skills to work with dogs on all levels. She knows how to quickly evaluate a dog and bring out the best in them. In all the years we have known her she has shown true dedication for all the dogs that have been in her care. I always recommend her to my friends and I highly recommend her to work with your family.

Our dogs are like our family. There is no one we trust more to watch them when we can’t than Sarah. She takes great care of them when we need to travel, has texted us updates, even sent a few pictures when our dogs were playing outside. I have known her for years and seen the love and care she gives to dogs (hers, mine, others that she worked with). We love how Sarah takes care of our dogs and even more importantly, our dogs love Sarah.
