Who let the dogs out? I did!
Pet care experience
I have 3 dogs back home that I have helped raise. The first 2 were a family effort, but the youngest pup I trained all myself! This involved crate-training, potty-training, and teaching fun tricks. I also have an understanding of the needs of older dogs with limited mobility and trouble eating. My oldest pup is 13 years old! I am great at handling multiple dogs at a time on walks or just managing safe playtime between them. I love seeing all of my dogs play together but I also know the signs of stress they may be expressing during playtime and how to deescalate a situation. I also have dog sat 3 bigger hunting dogs before so I have some experience with bigger dogs.
Reviews
Sarah is the best! Friendly, responsive and an excellent communicator. Our dogs love her and when no one else could let them out she was there! Our new favorite on Rover!
Sarah was so wonderful and thoughtful when carrying for our dog and cats! She was a great house guest and pet caretaker. Highly recommend!
Sarah takes the best pictures with Koda even on a rainy day! He loves her and his walks (and treats for being a good boy!)
Sarah is great! My dog is a little nervous around new people but he took great to Sarah very quickly when they first met. Sarah shows up on time and my pup loves her high energy! Couldn’t ask for more!

In my home I take my 3 dogs on 2 walks a day. They are currently back in my home state with my parents while I am in school so I am looking for some dogs to fill that void! I'm a big fan of teaching fun tricks and running with them outside. I also love cuddling up with them at the end of a long day. Nothing is more precious than them falling asleep in my lap!
Information Sarah B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or accomodations ahead of time! I am more than willing to adjust to those needs if I am able.
A typical day
With the dogs I watch I will do what they like to do! If they are high energy I will go on walks, run around in the yard, throw around a tennis ball, or play tug of war with toys. If they are lower energy I will play with their toys and give them lots of belly rubs! I also think dog enrichment toys are fun and would be willing to prep some of those for them to play with. As much is allowed, I can also have a heavy hand with treats! It is fun and enriching to teach dogs new tricks. Locations of walks would depend on the location of the dog, but I am more than willing to explore different areas or the pup's favorite spots!
